    Videocon D2H instead of Tata Sky HD? Please help me decide

    I am using Tata Sky HD since a year. My subscription is up for renewal in 10 days. I am using Mega HD pack (all channels pack which cost me around 5.5k last year). I am satisfied with the picture quality/clarity, sound quality and overall service. I also like the UI. But I am not satisfied with...

    What course to opt for PG

    @ashvarybabul If you are pretty sure that you are interested in MS/MTech, I suggest you take GRE before completing 7th semester. As the score is valid for 5 years, this will make it easy for you if you plan to apply for MS, either right after 8th semester or later. Because if you decide to have...

    My HDFC credit card hacked; charged 51.5k

    @Sei Read the whole thread just now...scary stuff :O Good to know that HDFC credited you the amount. I also bought Aristotle's whole set in January when they had 50% off sale. But I have a habit of using NetSafe card is each and every online transaction. No matter how high/low the amount is and...

    The Windows Phone 7 thread

    Zero Cool Skype does not run in background in WP7.5 And since it is your primary requirement, I suggest DO NOT buy any current WP. WP8 will have this feature and looking at the demo it seems WP8 will provide excellent Skype experience. But since its not yet confirm whether existing WP devices...

    The Windows Phone 7 thread

    Me too! Only thing different is I will get a full fledged Ultrabook (~13") with touch screen instead of tablet coz I anyways have to buy a laptop in near future and already have iPad 2. But I am so much in love with Windows 8 that I might just sell the iPad and get Windows 8 RT tablet too... :P...

    Short Term Investment with good Interest ?

    What kind of logic is that? Please don't use similar logic while investing in mutual funds coz you will only buy the one with smallest NAV. Don't EVER think in terms of quantity of units you can buy. Only think in terms of percentage of returns expected. For example, lets say one unit of gold...

    Is there a Phone with all of these long list of features?

    Considering your overall list of requirements, iOS and WP is out of the race (not considering BB OS). And between android and Symbian, battery life will be mediocre in most android phones. So IMO S^3 is your best bet which will pass almost everything on your checklist (not sure about 10hrs...

    Samsung Focus + WP7 Mango Beta 2 Review

    Is it possible that firewall or antivirus or some other similar software is blocking Zune from accessing MS servers? I could not find any info about the particular error you are getting, but for similar error series 80072XXX, this is the dignosis zune - How to resolve Error 80072F76 while...

    The Windows Phone 7 thread

    IMO you should wait for WP8 devices which will be announced in Sept @ Nokia World. Also Samsung might come out with their S3 equivalent for WP8. High resolution screens, dual cores...lot of changes expected :) You were able to get 25GB even when you started using it just a few days ago? MS...

    The Nokia 808 thread (Now available for Preorder @ Rs.2000)

    The problem is not limitation of resolution. It's just to avoid fragmentation and keep app compatibility. But I agree 640x360 is pretty low for 4"...they could have quadrupled it to 1280x720 Apple style but alas, Nokia won't do that for Symbian since they now worship WP

    Need info on how to choose a P&S camera (details inside)

    This is a bit off topic since you are now not that interested in HX9V but to give you some first hand experience, I have HX100V which is similar to HX9V and yesterday I recorded this Super Moon video (handheld at 100-120X) using it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bXUu0ol6Cw

    The Nokia 808 thread (Now available for Preorder @ Rs.2000)

    I am also interested in this beauty. But short on cash for next few months so will have to wait for few months I am just worried about the browser and email app in Belle. I am spoiled by WP7 and wasn't impressed by Belle browser (sans FP1). Also email app is not as great as WP7. But other than...

    News iPhone 5 to be slimmer and offer a larger screen with a higher PPI

    I don't understand how will Apple maintain the resolution problem if this rumour is indeed true. iPhone 3GS -> iPhone 4 the resolution was quadrupled to maintain app compatiblity. So logically, Apple would not like to break 2 things - 1. app compatiblity i.e. resolution 2. standard set by...

    Thinking to buy Samsung Focus

    #[member='avi'] I assumed that cyclops13 was asking about AT&T branded Focus. In that case as I explained, you can buy the unlock code off eBay which allows you to use the phone with any carrier. I am not sure if the custom ROMs in WP take care of this issue similar to custom ROMs in android...

    Thinking to buy Samsung Focus

    #[member='cyclops13'] Every Samsung Focus is unlockable. You just need to buy the unlock code off eBay which costs between $ 0.99-2.99. The whole process (buying code, waiting for it to be delivered in your mailbox and entering it on phone) normally takes just couple of hours. So don't worry...

    The Windows Phone 7 thread

    #[member='agantuk'] Basic functions are same in Nokia Drive. You wont find anything shockingly different. Maybe some features are less...havent used it that much. But was using it to navigate the other day on my Focus and surprisingly I was the only one in the car who got GPS locked throughout...

    Thinking to buy Samsung Focus

    I use Moneycontrol app. Its a good app to keep track of everything from stocks to mutual funds etc. It also has live tile but it will not show sensex/nifty ticker. It will only show you the latest news. For viewing ticker, you will have to open the app. And even then (at least in my case and a...
