    Samsung Captivate aka Galaxy S at 21K !

    Hmmm I am now doubting that the customs duty was officially increased to 5% at all. There was no official news regarding the same, and Aramex was collecting customs based on an internal circular of the customs department specifying the same. Now they're saying that its back to 1.3%, so was it...

    VODAFONE 3G Plans are out

    Yea the separate plans for iphones are totally ridiculous. Just because iphones are expensive they they think they can rip people off by charging extra! For BB it is understandable as afaik all internet traffic on BB's goes thru RIM's servers and you need a BB account with RIM for the same. BB...

    Vodafone unethical billing issue

    Sorry one thing i didnt understand is, did you use more data than the 500 mb limit? And there seems to be some confusion regarding the plan. If you are still on the old plan where the limit is 500 mb then you should be charged at 5p/10 KB. But if they're charging you 10p/10 KB then you can...

    HTC Incredible S up for Pre-order

    Specs are decent but its too high a price for a single core phone right now IMO, it should have been priced at 25k or below to even make sense.

    why are screen protectors so expensive?

    Margins on screen protectors are crazy in the indian market. And the fact is that dealers find so many bakras to buy them, so they are unwilling to sell for lower prices even if they can. A cousin of mine bought a wildfire from a local shop, who generally gives good prices on phones, but his...

    Samsung Captivate aka Galaxy S at 21K !
