Your father will need a pair of thermals (get Jockey thermals), hand gloves, winter jacket. Since your dad will go in Dec, it'll snow then. Nothing much to worry about. Europe is a great place. Am sure your dad will enjoy the place :) And yes, ask your dad to carry full sleeve shirt/t-shirts...

daksh: I have used HTC phones for more than 2 years. Never had any problems. On the other hand I have seen people report non-stop about the build issues on S2 (yellowish screen, dead pixel, and so on). Folks in Europe still prefer HTC over Samsung since they consider Sammy products to be of bad...

Phew...Stop the fight guys :) Gotta agree with andro regarding the Sense UI. It is not just the launcher that has changed. You got to use the phone and experience it yourself. I have used both Samsung and HTC Android phones before. IMHO, HTC is the only company I know that has mastered Android...

Even if you go onsite for 9 to 12 months in the first 4 to 5 years of your career, you can easily reach that figure.

True. That is why accumulating wealth during the early stages on one's career is so important. You can be financially independent by the time you get married and have children. A simple rule of thumb: Save at least 400 to 500k per year. So by the time you get to 26 or 27, you'll have 2 million...

The battery life is not that bad. I am running my phone on Revolution HD 6.1.1 ROM and I get almost a complete day of usage on each full charge. Did not notice anything bad the audio quality. One great thing I liked about it is that this is super fast. UI transitions and animations are super...

Thanks guys. I'll be getting this phone this saturday/sunday. Hard to wait :)

Hi, I'm getting a 4 month old HTC Desire HD for 13k. Is it a good deal? The seller told that it has both GSM and WCDMA, so it can be used in India also. Can I use this in India? He is providing the device with full original accessories - 2x batteries, charger, earbuds and a nice...

Easily possible if you stay onsite for 1 to 1.5 years. You get to see a new place and also increase your bank balance. IMHO this is possible before marriage. Again luck and skill plays its part here. Having a big bank balance helps a lot. You'll not be so worried about losing your job since...

+1 for that. If the difference in take-home salary is just 3 to 5k per month, it is better to stay in a company that offers better work culture. There are cases when the salary difference comes to 15 to 20k per month. Even though the company that offers more has questionable work policies and...

Hello All, I need a portable music player. I currently own a iPod Classic 160 GB. It is very bulky and hard to carry on international travel. I need to replace it with another player. I have shortlisted Ipod Nano 6th generation (Nano features). Is there any other superior alternative to...

Today I saw few Toshiba portable 1TB HDD for just under 4k on ebay. Seagate was around 4.2k. Do not buy the bulky 1TB HDD. Get the 2.5 inch portable ones.

OMG....You guys mis-understood. By lack of free apps, I meant the number of free apps available in Android vs iPhone. I personally feel that Android has more free apps compared to iPhone. Anyway I have used Android for a long time. Someone who has used both Android and iPhone will be able to...

Want to stay from iPhone as much as possible. Lack of free apps is a big problem and then the limited customization. I would prefer to go with Android family. Heard few rumors that the Nexus Prime launch will be on 27th of this month.

Human eye can recognize close to 24 FPS. Most OEMs set FPS at 30 for playback. 60 FPS is totally unnecessary. This is just un-necessary load on the processor.

I'm not sure if it has NFC. Anything else I need to look for before buying this?

@Soumik: I'm getting this from Seoul (South Korea). It is an unlocked model, but not sure whether it is a Korea specific model or international model. I guess this does not make much difference if it is a Korea specific model since it might just have some additional apps. Yes, it will have...

Feel it is better to wait for Nexus Prime launch. It is just a couple of weeks away. If it is priced below 28k or 30k local price here, then I'll definitely get it. Specs look very impressive.

That is because Google has not included video telephony stack into their Android code, and none of the OEMs have bothered to do it themselves.

1 question to S2 users: Does the Indian version of this model come with a GPS navigator? (I guess it is Sygix)
