    Cheapest Symbian S60 phone

    Most happy E51 owner here. It's blazingly fast, and beats the pants off any Nseries phone in terms of speed. Symbian, so you can install loads of shite on it. Decent audio quality, screen is brilliant, keypad is super. Camera STINKS though, which I knew when I bought it :D Wasn't too...

    Chat Application

    Hmm...I totally see you on that. The reason I used Digsby, loved it and still dumped it was: too many archives under Y! Messenger to just let go of it. And Gtalk logs directly to my Gmail a/c. Recently though, I found something for Digsby that lets me import my past chat histories though..so I'm...

    Chat Application

    Easy there, cowboy..I have used Trillian, and its memory footprint is pretty much the same as Digsby's, and (like you said) it's paid for. For Jabber/XMPP. Digsby may not be as nimble as Pidgin, but is very very functional (sync preferences across machines) and looks good too.. Have *you* used...

    Chat Application

    [This reply really ought to be a thread-starter of it's own in this forum..] Have you folks checked out Digsby? It's easily the GRAND-DADDY of all chat applications! Multi-protocol, slick and overall just awesome.. Waaaay better than Gaim/Pidgin imo..and definitely kicks Miranda/Trillian butt...

    New Phones advice - 2 options !!

    I have an E51, and it's the fastest Symbian phone I've ever used! The camera is 2mp, but it plain sucks balls...I got mine for 11.9k with a 2gb + 512meg card.. As for the other category, HTC seems very expensive, but I dunno quality-wise...Asus is very very decent..a pal of mine has a 527 and...

    Nokia 3110c or SonyEricsson w200i

    I use a 2gig card with my E51 and it doesn't seem to have had any noticeable impact on the speed.. It's a Sandisk, and set me back by a measly 600odd (Actually got it with my phone - chap charged me 600 extra to throw in the 2gb card, and let me keep the bundled 512meg card as well!)

    Nokia 3110c or SonyEricsson w200i

    I know anil's dilemma has been solved, but I really want to say this. The Nokia 3110c is awesome value for money. I haven't had my mom complain about any aspect of the phone, and that's a good thing. Us nerds can find workarounds for random niggles, but for a lay-user, everything should Just...

    Nokia 3110c or SonyEricsson w200i

    Between these two, I'd say it's the 3110c all the way. I bought one recently for my mom and she's absolutely delighted with it..I did a basic test use of it in the shop, and I fuond it quite likeable...and the keypad was fine enough, imho.. And seriously, no Bluetooth on the w200i! That's just...

    Laptops Hindustan Times Zenith laptop!

    As promised here's an update on this! The piece turned out to be a "Zenith Director Consumer Laptop" My folks went down to the HT office in Mumbai (Parel, I think it was) and collected the laptop and waited for me to come home. When I did, at first sight I was slightly disappointed at the...

    Laptops Hindustan Times Zenith laptop!

    Chill, Neotheone, didn't take it seriously. In fact, looked for a non-serious way to ask you that :D And I'm not very comfortable with intros (which would explain my pathetic dating record :ohyeah: ) Yeah, taking all the advice and getting the laptop..will bring up this thread again after I...

    Laptops Hindustan Times Zenith laptop!

    Thanks all for your replies! Selling it off is not really an option 'cos my sister wants to use it (since I already have one of my own) I just generally wanted to know if Zenith is considered waaaay too crappy for any amount of money.. My sister would throw a fit if her school-work went kaput...
