I'm looking for an Android phone in the range of 10k to 20k. I want this to last for at-least the next 3 years. 3rd party/Community ROM (CyanogenMod, XDA, etc.) support is important as even Google stops support for Nexus phones after 2 years. Qualcomm seems to be the most OpenSource friendly of...

I just purchased GoneMAD Music Player on Google Play (its on sale @ Rs. 118 from 4th July till today). Right after my transaction, I received 2 email alerts from my credit card: 1.>Your Credit Card XXXX has been used for a transaction of INR 50.00 at GOOGLE *MARKETPLACE (July 07, 2013...

I'm at JP Nagar Phase 7, Bangalore. I am currently using a Reliance USB Dongle, and looking to move to a wired 'unlimited' connection. I need min. 512 kbps, and my budget is max 1.5k monthly. Now, the idiots running my apartment complex will allow only 2 operators: BSNL & Airtel. So my choices...

I've read many reports of laptop batteries exploding, but I would usually think "It wouldn't happen to me". On at least one ocassion, I have myself been guilty of leaving the laptop for charging while going out. However an incident just happened yesterday that should make me far more cautious in...

Short Post: My 5 month old Seagate 2TB HDD has crashed today. Its not even being detected by the BIOS. The damn thing was working fine till it crashed. No prior indications/warnings about any failures in SMART. It produces 2 sounds in a continous loop: A short whirring sound. This sounds...

My HP Premium 800VA UPS seems to have gone kaput. I'm thinking of getting a 1KVA UPS. Please suggest some good products available at Bengalooru. My personal inclination is towards APC. I am aware of many prior posts on this topic, but my main concern is regarding the compatibility with my...

My relatives are looking to get a rig for basic usage. They would be using it for creating & editing MS office documents, browsing & watching DVD movies. The budget is 30K, but can be stretched upto 35k if justified. I am inclined towards a AMD rig, since I believe a Core i3 might not fit...

I am currently using a Vodafone connection, at Bangalore/Bengalooru. I subscribed to their internet plan for Rs. 100/month with 2 GB download, which I thought was a good plan. But after going for the subscription, I realized that what they offer with the Rs.100 Plan is only WAP, and not full...

I have an Asus Xonar DX, which currently fulfills my "Audiophile" needs. I was planning to get a decent integrated amp this year, but due to wallet constraints :( the plan is being postponed till next year. So, diverting my attention towards the source. Will there be an audible difference if I...

I was thinking of building a download rig, when I came across the Seagate Dockstar. It has 3 x USB ports, 1 Network port, and seems to be available in the US for $30 with shipping. Since it can be modded to run Linux, it seems a sweet deal to me. The only problem is that I don't see any people...

Just got the MP21 from ITWares. After listening to them on my Nokia N82 for about 20 min, I concluded I didn't really like them. Too much bass heavy, and very little on mid frequencies. I love the muddy thumping bass on my AL ATP3, so i had thought I'd like bassy headphones/IEM's too. But now...

Just bought a Xonar DX from vercetti :clap:. The card is working fine. However I'm facing an issue with the front panel jack sensing. When I insert my head-phones, the soundcard doesn't auto-detect the jack. The soundcard pretends nothing has happened, and continues to output to the...

I think i broke my onboard integrated soundcard with my tom-foolery. So I'm looking to get a cheap soundcard (PCI or USB, whichever works cheaper). Here are my usage profiles soundwise: - Music (Rock, Pop, Western Classical). Formats are MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and CD-Audio - Movies. -...

I was looking to buy the N82, or otherwise get the N79 if it wasnt available. I had surveyed quite some places today, and landed up a bargain at Croma. The N82 is available for 16,999 @ Croma with a 2 GB Card. Exchange this card for another one, and you'll get another 500 off. I got a Sandisk 8...

Where in B'lore can i get the TVS Black Gold USB Keyboard? TVS - E The last time (Feb 2008) I was at SP Road, no one had it. 1 or 2 offered to get it, but only after a week's wait :no:. SP isnt exactly next door to me, so I decided not to order it. I got explanations saying "Its an expensive...

I'm on an Airtel 256 kbps unlimited plan taken almost 2 yrs ago, and am pretty happy with their service. I have recently noticed that they are now offering 384 kbps unlimited at the same rate as my 256 kbps plan. I'm don't think they would have upgraded my plan automatically. Just to be sure...

Nokia's N79 & N85 are anticipated to be shipping shortly. So is there an anticipated price drop for the N82? Should i go ahead and get the N82 at ~19K today, or would it be more sensible to wait and get it cheaper later? I can wait till Dec 2008. How much of a price drop can I anticipate by then?

From the reviews online, I gather that the Nokia 5320 has been already launched in Europe. However I'm unable to locate the 5320 anywhere, either in Indian online store, or in Indian reviews/blogs. Can someone tell me if the 5320 has launched yet in India? If someone has purchased 5320, could...

I was browsing Samsung's India site today SAMSUNG India One very strange thing that I noticed is that the site has dropped the section for Hard Disks. Also while building my rig in Dec 07, I had asked around for the higher capacity F1/Trackpoint Samsung drives (500GB or above) that were...
