    Need high-end Android phone

    ^AFAIK Froyo only comes out in September for the Galaxy S. And that too in Europe - whether it will come to India at that time too remains to be seen. As for the lagging, does the firware update fully fix it? Two handsets I used (in completely different shops) really had this problem and that...

    Need high-end Android phone

    Basically, I am wary of grey market phones, especially ones that are not sealed. And if I am buying a grey market phone, I certainly don't want to go chasing after some anonymous person on ebay. I would rather have a person in Delhi who I can take the phone to in case of a problem. At oen...

    Need high-end Android phone

    Yeah, this is the suckage that is HTC India. I have been waiting for a long time for this phone. I have been e-mailing them throughout, and earlier they said end of May, which was changed to end of July (even as recent as with an e-mail exchanged with them about 2 weeks ago). When I e-mailed...

    Need high-end Android phone

    ^ AFAIK unfortunately none of the motorola phones (Milestone, Milestone XT720) use a 1GHz processor. It's looking more and more like the Galaxy S is my only option.

    Any other options? Especially of phones that have released officially in India (i.e. that have warranty here).

    Need high-end Android phone

    So now that I am sick of waiting for the Desire to pop up officially in India, and totally disappointed with HTC's lies (they kept changing their claims - from may end to july end, and now mid-august):@, I am looking for alternatives in the android phone market. Budget is not a big issue and I...

    Which network provider for Blackberry internet plan ???

    Unless you plan on only using it once or twice a month for a few miutes, I would advise you don't go for the lite plan. The limit AFAIk is 500kb, whcih needlessly to say is pathetic. After that you are charged. Go for the full plan or don't go BB at all.

    Google Devs: "Android 2.2 Froyo Upgrades Technically Possible On Every Android Phone

    Re: Google Devs: "Android 2.2 Froyo Upgrades Technically Possible On Every Android Ph Technically possible and Manufacturer's willingness to do so are two entirely separate things. I seriously doubt that manufacturers are going to look at old models. After all they would want to promote their...

    buying mobile E-72, Legend And Galaxy S : Advise needed

    Basically the new Blackberries (8520 and 9700) = excelletn use of a trackpad, and the Nokia E72 = horrible use of a trackpad. The e72's trackpad is a joke as when yu scroll each flick only takes you one icon across.

    buying mobile E-72, Legend And Galaxy S : Advise needed

    AFAIK there's no news of updating the legend. That's why I think I am not alone in not going for the phone for lack of froyo goodness. Even if HTC does give froyo, it might be months from now (after all didn't the Hero just get 2.1? HTC Desire is supposed to get froyo sometime in June, so...

    Blackberry 8520

    BB 8520 also had a manufacturing defect of types with the trackpad in that it's not very firm and jiggles about (which you will not see in the high-end 9700). Other than that lack of gps, expensive BB services (Rs. 1,100 a month) and low-resolution screen are the only major drawbacks.

    Nokia Ovi Suite Messages Problem

    No, not really. For the moment I have both Ovi and Nokia Pc Suite and somehow have to hope that one or the other will work for whatever I am trying to do. That is till I jump ship and go to Android. Nokia seems to me to be a sinking ship at least in the mid and high end phone category.
