Well I don't know about the best but I got my wife an HTC Wildfire for Rs 15,250/- yesterday and it seemed to be a very capable phone. I'm not sure how the low screen resolution impacts users but the screen seemed bright and vibrant to me. I even tilted it horizontally and vertically to...

What is deco paint? I don't think you can use distemper or acrylic emulsion house paint. You require primer + automotive paint + a layer of clear coat. The car is sanded down, dents are corrected and primer is applied. The car is again sanded down and painted and this is repeated some no.of...

Congrats :)...but why are your SD14 pics looking smoky?

I'd seen some video review of the Dell Streak with demonstrating the Gorilla Glass. Nice concept. But it's ridiculously sized for a phone. You'd feel weird putting that thing to your ear. It's more suited as a personal entertainment device. What's the battery life like? With that kind of screen...

@Desecrator, m-jeri, RS4....thanks for your inputs guys. Just heard that they are also considering the Corolla and Cruze as well.

Sorry for the late update to this thread as I've been busy. It now seems that my dad's friends have asked around and are sort of decided against Skoda. They are now considering Civics due to the high costs involved in part replacements from Skoda and the many reported failures in the Laura. But...

What is the file extension? My experience is: .mdf(.mds) is handled well my MagicISO .iso is handled well by any imaging program eg: UltraISO or MagicISO .daa requires PowerISO

The fonts in this theme seem a little Macish. I like this theme better than the previous one. To me, it seems more readable and less distracting, However, I find the envelope icon at the left side of thread listings too oversized for my liking. Rest of the theme is ok IMO. I guess the ability...

What kind of policy change have SE service centres made towards India?

That's really good and reassuring. I figure that since two SIMs need to be active, the power drain on the battery will be twice that of a regular phone with a single SIM. Hence my interest in the LG. OT: I don't understand Samsung's trend to sell phones with camera but without flash in their...

Folks, I was on the lookout for a dual standby sim phone. Following were the options presented to me 1) Samsung Guru Dual (2152) 2) Samsung C3212 3) Samsung C5212 for Rs 4,650/- to Rs 4,800/- 4) LG GX300 for Rs 5,000/- to Rs 5,200- I've read positive feedback on Samsung's dual sim phones...

There is a a huge performance hit when going for a block size <4K in WinXP. I once tried a block size of 512 bytes for my HDD and the system slowed to a crawl during installation of the OS itself. The performance drop is probably due to the extra overhead required to address each block...

Do the portable freeagent GO HDDs have shock protection? As far as I can recall, no portable HDD offers shock resistance like the Transcend portable HDDs (pity about the 2 year warranty though on the Transcends). OT: Anyone using Iomega HDDs? They sure are sweet looking ones :).

Actually, I don't want to subscribe to all the threads that I participate in. I only subscribe to threads that I believe will come useful later :). Eddy, can you PM an email address of yours to me so that I could email the screenshots to you? I tried and I can't seem to get imageshack to work...

I agree with you that the product should matter. However, for most of the non tech savvy folks out there, brand perception matters. I would cite the case of AMD itself v/s Intel. For years, folks have gone in for an Intel PC simply because they thought Intel was better. In my personal...

They are losing legacy value by killing the ATI brand. I wonder how hardcore ATI fans will feel. Not a good move IMO. For eg: everyone has heard of Castrol but does everyone know that it was acquired by BP(British Petroleum)? BP was smart enough to capitalize on the brand value of Castrol and...

Actually I'm looking for posts that I had made since my current visit. That way, I can follow threads that I'd previously participated in. New posts are fine. Sorry if I was not clear. I've edited my previous post.

Folks, everytime I relogin to TE and try to do an advanced search for posts I had made during my previous visits, I keep getting results only from threads that I started. It's been like this ever since TE changed to VB4 and now it's getting very annoying. I've tried many options in Advanced...

Re: High quality song! My personal experience and opinion is that 320 kbps CBR or VBR mp3s are good enough for the average listener and close to CD-DA. With so much space available these days, I would think that it does not make sense to use anything below 320 kbps when encoding an mp3. +1...

What in your opinion does this mean for micro 4/3rds? Anyway, I'm not too concerned as I don't see Panasonic even bothering to market their m4/3 cameres in India. (Typical japs....fantastic products but they have never been committed to releasing high end products in India.) Knowing Sony, the...
