My iPhone 3G wishlist

Hmmm… Everyone has their whishlist for the most rumoured product in the world today. Here is mine.

A GPS chip please. A smart phone without GPS in 2008 is almost passe. For those poor souls who carry the first version of iPhone, please modify the bluetooth stack to support external GPS receivers. You know, these things […]

Quick Review: LG KS20 - A Smart Windows Mobile Phone

I was surprised by the connectivity options available on this phone. It has Triband GSM with UMTS. It is also HSDPA and Wi-Fi enabled for high […]

This Diamond is not forever

I think it is now becoming a habit for HTC to call for a press meet one month before the launch of iPhone and its revisions. It is a pity that they are still relying on Windows Mobile to deliver their goods. While what we saw with the diamond is no doubt impressive, under the […]

HTC Touch Cruise is now available for a you-need-to-loot-a-bank-to-buy-it price of INR 32000 (US$800).

The expected price point for the 8GB model is around INR 28,000 (Approximately $700).

Fring for the Apple iPhone!

Fring is one indispensible software for people who use VoIP a lot. Previously available only for S60 and Windows Mobile users, Fring now is available for Jailbroken iPhones too!
I tried Skype with a friend of mine. He registered for a new Skype account from his Mac and added me as a buddy, but his name […]

Got an Apple iPhone

Yep. I too have the world’s most desired gadget now. I purchased it from one of my online acquaintances. The phone came unactivated with an AT&T sim card. I unlocked it using iPlus 2.0 for Windows and later synced with my Mac.
In my short usage time of about an hour, I am impressed and at […]

I am an S60 Ambassador

I received the S60 Ambassador merchandise today. The kit consisted of a cool T-Shirt, 2 notepads, a nice pen and a tag. Too bad, that T Shirt was a little small for me. Interestingly, I am selected as an ambassador for the Ovi program, which is not yet available for India users on the Share […]
