Hi All, Ever since I bought my HTC Desire, I have been a die-hard Android fan. However, I have recently got a job in a company which prohibits camera mobile phones, and so I won't be able to use my Desire in my workplace. I am looking for a decent phone without a camera - and I would love an...

Bought a black Asus Eee PC 1005HA (Seashell) with 2GB RAM for Rs. 21.4k from ITNet, Kochi. Still exploring the system, but first impressions are good. Small, light, yet satisfactory performance. Thanks to all for all your help! :)

Sonia, I suggest that you get a NetBook if your course might require you to carry your system around. I am doing an MBA course myself. I have a 15" laptop, but I don't take it to classes, meetings, etc unless absolutely necessary, because I hate lugging it around. There are a few super studious...

Hi All, I am thinking of buying a NetBook for use at school. These are my requirements, in not-so-strictly decreasing order of importance:- Mobility: the lighter/smaller/slimmer it is, the better. Battery Life: the longer the better. Build Quality: I wouldn't be too surprised if it gets a...

Bought a SE K810i for Rs. 11,238 from The Mobile Store, Kochi. Got a 2GB memory card free with it. So far, my sister absolutely loves the phone. :cool2: Thanks a lot for all your suggestions! :)

At this price range, which phones would be the best for music? (Speaker is not that important - I mean about earphones.)

I am planning to buy a new phone for my kid sister. My budget is around 10k. Priorities - music, FM, looks. I have zoomed in on two options - Nokia 5320 Express Music, and SE K810i. Which would be better? I know it might be pretty subjective, but all opinions are welcome. Also, if you have...

My two and a half cents:- :) If you are a newbie, and if you have an internet connection, then I suggest you get Ubuntu. Reason: The huge online support base. You won't get a community as big and as helpful as the Ubuntu user community. I haven't used Mandriva or OpenSUSE or Mint, so I cannot...

Bought a Logitech MX 518 for Rs. 1450 from Premier Computers at SP Road, Bangalore. I did ask for an iBall 6-button Laser Precise, they had that model in their iBall brochures. Said the price was Rs. 550. I would have surely bought that one, but they were out of stock. Same case with several...

Bought a WD MyBook 500GB USB(2.0)+Firewire(400)+eSATA for Rs. 5700 from Premier Computers at SP Road, Bangalore. The base model (with only USB 2.0) was Rs. 4880 + taxes. Haven't tested it yet, as my laptop hasn't arrived yet. :) Thanks everyone for your help!!! :)

OK... Thanks everyone... So WD MyBook it is. Can someone also please suggest a good dealer at SP Road? Someone who will not try to rip me off because I am not good at bargaining in Kannada? :ohyeah: And where is the "market"? I mean, what is the name of the place? Cool. Perhaps we will run...

OK thanks.. And yeah, I just joined IBM GBS at Manyata. How did you guess? :) By the way, how do I get from Nagavara to SP road by bus? :D

Hmm... Thanks for the quick reply. Does "a couple of 100s more" mean that the price of the MX518 is 1200 bucks? :) And is it a large mouse? I think I would prefer a slightly smaller mouse since I will be using it with a laptop. It should be the right balance between the number of buttons and...

Hi, I want to buy an inexpensive laser/optical USB mouse for my future laptop. For my desktop, I have an old iBall Laser Precise 6-button mouse. I really love that mouse, it has served me well for around 3 years now. But now, iBall's website doesn't show any 6-button mice. There are three...

My new laptop (XPS M1530) will be arriving in a couple of weeks, and I want to buy an external hard drive to serve as a backup system. Primarily because I would like to experiment with triple booting the lappy with Hardy, Vista, and MediaDirect, and would want to have good whole-system backups...
