    Here Comes Nokia 5800 a.k.a Tube

    I am really reluctant to get into a vs debate because of personal preferences and the extreme opinions on iPhone on both sides has destroyed so many forums and I don't want that to happen here. Most of us here having been using Symbian for donkey's years, me since 6600, right till N95. I...

    Iphone dreams shattered? Now what?

    The complaints were specifically about 'managing' public policy to slow down alternative tech like Wimax, hoarding spectrum, and not innovating fast enough. They also address the issues of being cheapest on the planet at 2 cents a minute with purchasing power parity, though I don't exactly agree...

    Iphone dreams shattered? Now what?

    Yup, You are right, it seems both Netherlands and Switzerland are not unlocked, but Belgium and Italy are and both are in the 499/620 euros so that's not exactly cheap but it is unlocked. Additionally may people tried to buy in Switzerland and they have rules and regulations for getting it at...

    Gaming Mouse

    I got the MX512 an year ago and haven't used it for more than an hour. The problem is not with MX518, this mouse had got rave reviews and gamers love it for its accuracy and stuff. However I find it too big and your palm has to arch that much more, and using it started hurting my hands. So its...

Netherlands offers it for $533/633. In Switzerland prices are 519 and 619 Swiss Francs (Ex Rate is 40) for 8/16GB. And...

    Iphone dreams shattered? Now what?

    Guys, let's not get into a slanging match. As consumers we must stick together rather than fighting manufacturers a marketing battles here. Whatever your preferences whatever the feature set this thing is not good value at 31k plus and I am skeptical it will take off in any serious way beyond...

    Iphone dreams shattered? Now what?

    This whole thing is a rip off, in other countries where you pay full prices ie for instance the prices provided by vb86 above you DON'T get a locked device for that price, its unlocked. Here you pay the huge premium and full retail price plus you get a locked device! Now how can this blatant rip...

    iPhone 3G Official Pricing Out!!

    Infact following up on that since Airtel and Vodaphone are NOT subsidizing the device, infact they are making profits on it, how can they justify LOCKING it? Seriously? Since the whole idea of the locking model is the operator subsidizes the phone and hence to recoup the subsidy needs to lock...

    iPhone 3G Official Pricing Out!!

    Wow, that's a huge premium they are expecting. Personally I would have to see huge value for that price and no mobile device is going to deliver that. 15-20K is the most I can see. The only way iPhone is worth that amount is if some individual sees some 'showoff value' in it beyond the phone...

    EXCLUSIVE: iPhone 3G Out in India Next Month!

    Both Airtel and Vodaphone have edge though I think Airtel is cheaper than Vodaphone, at roughly 350-400 PM for Mobile Office. NOP through proxy is 150 PM. There is a data limit on Mobile office I think. You would have to check on their sites to get the exact figures. However the iPhone plans...

    MTNL slashes broadband tariff by 50%

    My friend in Kandivali doesn't have a choice beyond MTNL and the charges are extortionist compared to other providers. There is no reason for basic 256 to be 2500 when its 700-900 everywhere else from other providers including BSNL and now MTNL Delhi itself. Isn't there something a body like...

    EXCLUSIVE: iPhone 3G Out in India Next Month!

    Some of the articles published are outright ignorant and misleading, '3G charges', what's that? Do they not know there is no 3G in India. The least the journalist can do is to be informed on the sector he is writing about, and at the very least do some basic research instead of making a fool of...

    EXCLUSIVE: iPhone 3G Out in India Next Month!

    Hey guys, no need to get worked up. Put yourself in the place of an Airtel/Vodapahone product manager and think this through. What is your primary purpose? Sell more phones or profit? Profit. So you can sell less for a higher prices or more for lesser price. The point is the profit. Here...

    Help regarding buying a new WLAN router

    At 2k Buffalo G125 is a no brainer, I have the G54 both the normal and HP one for the last year. Both rock solid and reliable. Use the standard buffalo firmware before messing around with Tomato, the stock firmware is good for normal use. If you need advanced functions like traffic shaping or...

    Hi Guys, A friend in Kandivili just got triband, so the engineer claimed he couldn't set up the wifi router and installed the Huawei 882 DSL modem in route mode so the internet is on as soon as you put on the modem. That's all good so far. She needed to set up a Buffalo wifi router and I was...
