    Urgent! Which Digicam - Canon SX240HS Vs HX10V ?

    Did you settle on the 10V? I was wondering why you disregarded the 9V. I am thinking of going for that one and your reasons would be useful to me.

    LED from India or Abroad ?

    Not worth the hassle is what i would say, unless you go beyond 50". I had a bad experience with my 52", some of the bulbs broke on transit. It doesn't happen to everyone but it could happen to anyone. I saved in tens of thousands but still it's unnecessary hassle and tension. So unless you are...

    Confused between LG Optimus One & Samsung Galaxy Ace

    Optimus One will have a good resale value. Its one of the best-sellers world over. So that shouldn't be a concern. I would just go with Optimus One.

    Need A suggestion Quick

    Prices drop all the time. I bought my desire 4 months back. Its dropped 4K now. Don't worry. Regarding iPhone, go feel the real thing in your hand before you fall for it. Some people like me don't like it, its a thin brick. I love my Desire. So feel it in your real hand before going for it.

    Android phone within 22K budget..

    I have a Desire. The audio quality is ok when using headphones. I am not an audiophile though. The one concern i have is that Desire doesn't use gorilla glass. I dropped mine quite a few times and once it slipped out, hit my car, hit the rough floor. Nothing broke. But some scratches on the body...

    Need most professional looking laptop!

    I love my HP EliteBook 8440. It looks just the way it sounds, elite. Its rugged and lightweight (an important factor for me). And yes, thinkpad is anytime a good bet.

    Samsung Galaxy S /HTC Desire / HTC Desire Z

    I can vouch for the Desire. The main issue is that it is not using Gorilla Glass. I wish it was.

    Tablet - Which one ?

    Engadget has some stuff on ViewSonic's pad. Not that encouraging a buy. I would suggest the Galaxy given your urgency. I own an iPad and can vouch for its extreme reliability and of course intuitive interface. But then the cam is a sore point.

    Washing machine - Front Loader

    I own a Samsung 6.5Kg front loader with built-in water heater for hot wash. I recommend it. It came to around 26-27K. Can be bargained down to 26K.

    New Phone for Mom - Budget 5-10k

    All those requirements make me think of Nokias. How about the X5, its stylish in pics and boasts a 5MP cam. Haven't seen one in flesh though. Its <10K with a 2GB SD card in Flipkart. The main con is that it does not have 16M colors. But there's a pink edition for women who favor pink. If...

    Need suggestions for printer !

    Grass is greener on the other side :) Can't find the MP145 in their website. The ones i see in their website do not need 3 cartridges for color. I am going to bet my money on their FINE cartridges next.

    Washing machine - Front Loader

    I give a thumbs up to Samsung's service. Especially in a tier-1 city. Even in tier-2's they have a good service presence. I wouldn't recommend Whirlpool. IFB is so-so.

    replacement for 5800

    Well, Videocon Zeus is another Android phone in that range. The problem with phones in this range is that they offer resistive touchscreens and resistive sucks. One good thing about Zeus is that its capacitive.

    Noise cancelling bluetooth headset

    Anybody owns a dual mic noise cancelling bluetooth headset other than the plantronics voyager pro (and where i can buy that)? Its so darn difficult to find out from the websites if any of them are dual mic. Samsung's website for ex has no info on the headsets. Thanks in advance guys Oh, btw, i...
