    is it right time to get e90???

    Wait for Nokia to release their flagship N97 in most markets. Prices shall surely come down after that. If you can't wait, grab a used one in mint condition. For some reason, resale prices are pretty low with mint units going for under 20k. Make sure you get the updated E90 in black or mocha...

    Want to buy a laptop? A must read.......

    More than one half of the Thinkpad range is absent on the web site. None of Samsung's current netbook offerings are on the page either. Dell's Studio XPS 13 (M1340 if I remember the model correctly), Studio 14 and Studio 15 are absent as well. The interface is quite good but the dynamic engine...

    Best flip phone for ~7k?

    Thanks for the replies guys. I tried the Z555 at a shop last night but it doesn't look all that great. I'll be sure to check out the U9 which btw almost looks like a PEBL U6. The RAZR looks very outdated. I've seen watchmen and electricians in my area using the original 6600 and RAZR which...

    Best flip phone for ~7k?

    The W380 looks a bit childish. I'm gifting this to a 30 y.o. lady, so I'm looking for something that's a bit conservative or classy. The Z770i is available on ebay for $200 and its sister phone, the TM506, is available on univercell for Rs. 9,615. The Z750 is available for 15k which is wayy out...

    Brand new N85 for sale.

    Used N85s (or "brand new" units according to your interpretation of used lol) are going for 16k so you might want to decrease the price. A proper brand new unit with security and peace of mind can be bought for less than 23k.

    Notebook vs Netbook

    The Aspire 4520 is pretty bad in terms of specs: AMD Turion 64 X 2 (1.6GHz), 1GB RAM, 120GB Hard Drive and Vista Premium. Unless AMD has begun shipping ultra tweaked versions of its mobile processors, the Turion's battery life as I know it is quite appalling. My advice would be to stick with a...

    Icse Vs Cbse

    I've studied in both mediums - CBSE from the 1st to the 8th and ICSE from then on. IMO, CBSE has a lot more theory while ICSE places a lot more emphasis on practical work. For some reason, Hindi under CBSE was frackin difficult to score while ICSE was pretty easy, possibly due to the slightly...

    ACADEMY AWARDS...And the award goes to...

    Great stuff indeed. However, there's a sour feeling in all of this, not because the director is British but rather because of the douchebag attitude of all the idiot news presenters on Headlines Today, India TV and the likes and shameless bollywood actors who've displayed their true profession...

    Notebook vs Netbook

    Pros - Netbook: Smaller and more portable, longer battery life for the same battery, (usually) cheaper Notebook: Better hardware specs & usually more feature-rich, comparatively rugged (better construction), the bigger screen does help when working with presentations and large excel sheets

    Share the experience of getting your own computer

    I DEMAND that you retract that statement!! :p I really hope you aren't another n00b brainwashed into thinking that Pentium (or any Intel)=awesome while the rest=crap. Cyrix processors were great VFM and actually outclassed comparable Pentium chips at the time while being priced lower...

    Desktop pc (pentium 3, 600MHz, 128Mb Ram)

    I have a similar PC (Duron 1.2Ghz, 256MB RAM) running on Xubuntu and WinXP as a file server 24*7. Another one with an AthlonXP, 640MB RAM (on the lookout for cheap DDR1 RAM! Anyone??) and a 500GB HDD will be going online next week as my dedicated music server. As others have mentioned, there's...

    Post Your GNU/Linux Desktop here

    Haha thanks! Here you go. The quality of wallpapers on this web site is consistently high, unlike deviantart and the likes. I'm thinking about putting another troika of rings in another corner of my desktop to monitor the CPU, RAM and swap, similar to the current setup of measuring the time.
