@v4u_luv2004: Congrats u got a 29k phone for Free....lucky yaar...
cud u just explain a bit more detail about the Nokia R&D panel & login etc...
Thanks mate
N abt the panel its very simple and easy to use all you need to do is create an account there and download a small software call 360Meter. Remember to get this software to work your mobile will try to send an international sms immediately after the installation of the software so be prepared to invest 5 bucks
After that within a week your Nielsen Mobile Reward account will be activated from where you can redeem ur points. they have a vast range of products u'll get to know once ur account is activated.
Nokia/Nielsen looks for the people who can really bring worth to their research panel not everyone will receive free mobile mind u but yes u will regularly receive points. Once u start showing positive interest in the research u will get a lot of attention from them like i got(its not just abt uploading data from ur phone thrs much more goes behind the scene if u r clever enough u will soon learn d trick to get noticed by them. Don't ask me how bcos I'm not allowed to speak abt it.)
@v4u_luv2004
That Nokia panel thing tells to install some measurement software. Any idea what it measures and does it need an active data connection full time ??
Can you explain that a bit more ??
Dude u dun really need to have a full time active connection.
The application is very simple and neat and it just sits in the background without eating ur phone's resources.
U r not required to upload the datas 24/7 just do it thrice a week that will be more than enough. open the meter software and just click on upload, it will never upload more than 20-30kbs of datas or to the maximum 100kbs.. so its not very heavy on pocket either u just need to invest 20-30 paisas for uploading the datas each time.
Ok if u r worried abt what datas the measurement software collects then i must tell u that u shud'n worry abt this at all bcos u r in a safe hand. If u dunno already wat Nielsen as a company is then just try googling or binging.. u will get ur answer.
n here's the the list of datas which nokia collects from ur phone.
Q. What type of data is being collected?
A. The application measures general usage of your phone. For example, we collect information on:
the type, name, use and installation of applications and games
the address of the websites you visit
the date and duration of the websites you visit
the date, time and duration of phone calls, but not details on the phone numbers you call or receive calls from
the date and time you send text/picture messages to or receive text/picture messages from
the date, time, type and name of Bluetooth devices used with your phone
the date and time when USB devices are connected to your phone
battery levels, charger states, alarm usage, profile changes
information on network traffic, use of WLAN and use of GPS
information on failed calls
system and hardware events like start-up and shutdown, SIM card change, application crashes and connected, disconnected and types of accessories, like TV-cables.
information on what kinds of fields are used in the phonebook
the network performance of your phone, including signal quality readings
We do not listen to or record any of your phone calls. We also do not examine, store or record any of the content of text or picture messages you send or receive. In addition, we cannot and do not read any of the contents of your other files or email messages.
Hope this clears all ur doubts.
hey v4u_luv2004
what about those 2200 points are they any good i mean what u can redeem firm these points. I will join if they are of any real use as i see there is a very faint possibility of winning stuff from lucky draw.
Dude I'm not sure people who is joining now is getting 2200 points if u actually get that then let me tell u that u r getting a gr8 startup point. Bcos wen i joined a long back then i received a mere 3 figures points so for me it was a long journey from xxx points to xxxxx well thats a secret
Ok in 2200 points u can order urself an 8gb micro SD card, or 2 pen drives or cushion covers or pizza coupons for Dominos or 2 cloth irons... well there is so much to order..
All the best and go ahead u will actually love it once u start earning points.
thanks bro for giving sign up link. Btw whats the use of points can we use them to buy real nokia phones
Oh yes u can actually use ur points to buy real Nokia phones..
Not only that there is a lot of stuffs u can buy but my dear friend u need a lot of patience for that.
Hey Guys i hope i was able to answer all ur queries.
If u need any infos regarding Nielsen survey then dun hesitate to leave a message.
Cheers...
