    Samsung Galaxy Note and Nokia Lumia 800

    Well, comparing them is pointless, as one is a phone and the other is somewhere between a phone and a tablet. It all depends on what you want: do you primarily want a phone (but much more functional), or a mini-tablet pc that also happens to make calls and has a 3G functionality. Also, IMO the...

    Nokia Lumia 800 - Heavy Pricing ?

    Well, the volume issue is mostly when using a headset. The max volume is way to loud on my earphones, but oddly, call volumes is just about right, though can be a little soft at times. So I have to turn it up to max when answering a call. Needless to say, it can be quite jarring once the call...

    Nokia Lumia 800 - Heavy Pricing ?

    Agreed. When it comes to Windows Phone, it all comes down to hardware differentiation in the end, cos you know it's all... well, mostly the same on the software front. So do the research, then go check them out in person, and get the one you like best. Nothing more to it. :) The reverse can...

    The Android Sham

    I have a love-hate relationship with Android. I love the fact that I can customize it to the absolute extreme. I also hate it for the very same reason. We all have our likes and dislikes so it's great that we can flash custom ROMs on our devices. There are a bewildering amount of choices if you...

    Nokia Lumia 800 - Heavy Pricing ?

    The 710's physical buttons are quite rubbish IMO. Horrible feedback, you never know if you've pressed it right. On the other hand, the Lumia 800 is simply beautiful. Black one looks the most elegant, but the cyan model's appearance is very striking. Wish the lock button was placed higher on the...

    Nokia Lumia 800 - Heavy Pricing ?

    I'll have to take your word for it, since I haven't had a chance to see/hold it yet :( Nope, WP7.5 doesn't need a dual-core processor. What it really could do with is a much better GPU! The Adreno 200 is an ancient GPU, and unfortunately. all WP devices comes saddled with this (now) POS. A...

    Nokia Lumia 800 - Heavy Pricing ?

    WP7.5 may not need dual-core processors right now, but this won't always be the case. It would be great to have them when the software is properly optimized for them, and not a moment sooner. If the OS flies now, it will be even better then. Secondly, better to have and not need than to need...

    Nokia Lumia 800 - Heavy Pricing ?

    This. I've been using Zune as my main music player for years now, way before I had a WP7 (or even a Zune). It's almost perfect at this. However, as a smartphone companion(?), it's a little lacking, which is why I would love a UMS mode, even though it will never (officially) happen. Since...

    [Heads Up] HP Touchpad Refurbs at 99$/149$ for 16GB/32GB models - HP Ebay store

    Google mentions the weight of a shipped TouchPad being around 4.70 pounds (2,131.88414 grams). So SNS shipping would probably be ~$42

    Will eBay ship to a SNS account under a different name than the CC holder?

    Samsung Focus + WP7 Mango Beta 2 Review

    Guys, a few questions.. Now that Marketplace is (correct me if I'm wrong) officially available in India, which region Live accounts are you using with your phone? I have a primary MSN (and later) Zune account which has existed since 2001, with a fake US address. Now, I can't change my Zune...

    Any MIUI users?

    By far, the best of the custom ROMs. Works like a charm on my Nexus S, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! Well, anything except ICS, that is :D

    Shop and Ship is now on Techenclave to assist you!

    I'm not able to add the SNS phone number to my shipping address. Ebay also keeps recommending a modified version of the address. I need to make a payment soon, is it ok if I do not include the number or ask the seller to add it himself

    Samsung Focus + WP7 Mango Beta 2 Review

    Does the Focus work with 3G networks in India? My friend and I want to get one each but this could be a deal breaker.
