    cfl bulbs , are they real money savers

    No, in all probability! You can just buy a cheap Chinese CFL worth Rs.25 - 30/- and see how much heat is dissipated.

    cfl bulbs , are they real money savers

    While I do have my own apprehensions regarding the lifetime and light output of CFLs, at least here, the warranty is being honoured for one year for almost all brands. The shopkeepers mark the date of purchase, the shop's name and their initial on the ceramic body with a permanent marker. Once...

    Camera So which lenses do you have?

    It is EF mount, originally meant for full frame (36mm x 24mm) cameras, but can be used with Canon digital cameras just like the EF-S mount lenses which are designed specifically for APS-C sized sensors. 50mm becomes 80 mm when used with APS-C cameras like 450D, 550D, 7D etc. It is a prime lens...

    The Nokia 5230 / 5233 Thread

    Just checked Nokia site myself. The free ovi map is not supported for 5233. So the other (paid) maps too may not work due to lack of a GPS chip. Nokia India - Free Navigation on your Nokia. Forever - Ovi Maps - Downloads

    The Nokia 5230 / 5233 Thread

    May be it is because 5233 has only AGPS and not GPS. Nokia Navigation is nowadays free for all supported models. Please check the Nokia site for the models for which it is supported. Better, paid option is either Satguide or MapmyIndia map which cost about Rs.1000/-
