TSiVipul Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Read newspaper and cursed the petroleum ministry for price hike. Played new NFS hot pursuit for about 2 hours. Washed my new Laura and took a drive(for just making myself happy). Now online on the Autocar India forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durango Dude Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Been to Chennai's Cultural Feast' date=' the Chennai Sangamam's Finale event. Â @DD, Have you attended today? Â [/quote']Yep, CB, was there tucking into Dindigul Thalappakati with family on Elliots beach. Was there till the fire works and left before the ruckus and the 'dual' murders () that followed. It was scary reading about it in the papers. Murders took place at 11 pm and I was there till atleast 10.30 pm, and we had to walk at least 500 meters to where the car was parked.

creativebala Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Gifted my Optimus One, a Sennheiser. Now its rocking.  @DD, just got to know about that murder. What, all those cops did? Really sad to hear this news. I follow this event closely since 2006, when Chinnaponnu sang and made thousands(me included) to dance.  Were you in a Black/White checked shirt on that day?   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Dude Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 @CB: I was wearing formals as I arrived late due to the backlog at clinic following 2 days off due to Pongal. I arrived late say by 9-15 pm only, fireworks were on by that time and went straight to the stalls for dinner. Sat around for a while and went home by around 10.30pm. My sons grouse about Optimus Prime P-500 is there is no front facing camera so though it's 3G, video calls can't be made and playing video is just about average and speaker is kinda weak as compared with my Nokia 5800. There are some 7 home screens and very difficult to find a where a 'shortcut' to which feature is and there are many useless embedded apps that can't be uninstalled and Android isn't as 'intuitive' as say symbian my son's been literally studying the phone more than his subjects last few days. Camera is good though it doesn't have flash indoor pic quality is good enough. Let me know your experiences with the LG Optimus Prime.

rahul1810 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 @DD LG phones were never know to have a good interface, while Nokia has sought of formed a standard on simplicity. Sometimes, even with all the features we do miss good old simpler times! It would be better if he just moved all the apps he needed to first 2-3 screens. Much easier to use it that way.

Durango Dude Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 @rahul: My son's customised it to his taste, he's loaded his 2GB with songs and video's. I feel 2GB is too small a storage. I find android phones tech specs a little lesser than other smart phones. Max 3 MP cam. I find the Nokia N8 very impressive. I think the resistive touch screen (with a stylus) better than capacitive (without stylus) coz the buttons on the alphanumeric pad a little too small to be fiddling with fingers alone. By the way my Nokia 5800 started acting up yesterday: started shutting off and restarting all by itself repeatedly, so have packed it off for service will know status tomorrow. After looking at Android I have somewhat taken a liking to Symbian for its simplicity, as Rahul has rightly pointed it out.

sarabjeet Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 @DD there are Andriods with higher specs. N8's a flop too amny bugs. Today i tried out my friends HTC 7Mozart with Windows OS7 it is actually quite good and comparable to andriod  friends i am now quite bored with my 3gs, need something new and rare. Any recommendations ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahul1810 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yeah N8 is a very good phone, and without a shred of doubt the best camera phone there is. Resistive is a little old technology. Capacitive is more recent and much more responsive. May be if you go for a bigger screen you will be at ease. For medium budget HTC Wildfire is the best phone out there. @sarabjeet Wait for a couple of months, Sony will launch the Xperia Arc, Samsung the Nexus S. Arc especially is one to watch out for considering its design and technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_nishu Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 One of my friend recently have bought HTC Wildfire Android phone with 5MP Cam with Flashlight, All at 13.5k only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonFre Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 DD, avoid Nokia high end phones.Symbian might be easy to operate but its lagged behind significantly in development & resistive touch interface looses to capacitive. Â Sarab, Im still enjoyng my 3gs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiVipul Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I am planning to get a new cellphone,limit:20K..... ANY ADVICE?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgiitk Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Look at htc Wildfire, Samsung galaxy 3, and LG Optimus One. All these are in the 11k to 16k range. The last may turn out to be the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiVipul Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 @sgiitk, thanks for the advice, gonna check out all of them. Second question:Can a bluetooth connectivity system(for cellphone) be installed in an Innova?Does it need a replacement of music system? Is it anyway useful to get it installed,because I am planning to get one.And which on is the best at a price limit of 25K?

sarabjeet Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 @Rahul yes have seen those but both of them. I like dell Venue much better, it is expected in a months time. Have a look at it http://www1.ap.dell.com/in/en/home/mobile-accessories/mobile-venue/pd.aspx?refid=mobile-venue&s=dhs&cs=indhs1&~ck=mn how would you compare this to Arc ?? @BF since i have upgraded os to 4.0.1, i can't use ibluenova (software which allows you to transfer and accept files from any mobile) and the new Andriods and 7OS are quite tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahul1810 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 @SB Venue has a nice but very simple design. It does not have anything new. On the other hand the design of Arc is brand new, and has a real sexy inward curve(arc) at the back. Also the fact that it is so slim helps. Just got a tweet that Nexus S expected early Feb. @TSIVipul At around 20k, I would suggest you to look at 2 phones. 1. Samsung Wave II 17-18K 2. HTC Desire 22k @MODS I think we should move this discussion to Gadgets and Gizmo thread EDIT: @SB You also have some wonderful WP7 options from HTC in form of HD7 and Mozart. Check them out too.rahul18102011-01-21 07:58:56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgiitk Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I would avoid the Venue since it is Windows and not Android (which is based on Linux!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanzgod Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I am planning to get a new cellphone' date='limit:20K..... ANY ADVICE??[/quote'] i suggest you to check Nokia N900 once, its little more than 20k & little heavier but VERY Powerfull. It runs on Linux based Maemo software... sanzgod2011-01-21 09:54:18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgiitk Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 @sanzgod: I am not too sure whether Symbian is a good choice. By the looks of it the OSes days are very numbered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
