I am looking at buying a SE W890i.

In Pune, at the moment, only RPG Cellucom (@Rs15,290) or Hotspot (@Rs15,000) stock the phone.
Which is the better or the two retailers for service and backup?
Hotspot are currently offering 2 yrs insurance and warranty on handsets for free. Is it worth it? Any experiences of catches?
RPG have a scratch and win competition.
How negotiable are the prices with these retailers?

Thanks

The E90 version works well on the E51. I have not used Blackberry services, so really can't comment on the differences, just google and you may be able to find more info. Mail for exchange is a native client, so works pretty smooth.

BTW, if you are a heavy email user, I would not advise a E51. It's painful to type with the small keys. E61i would be a better investment.

Cheers!!!

How much e-mail will you read / send ? Is it for corporate or personal purposes ? Several/ most corporates will not support any device other than a Blackberry device and will not fwd e-mail due to security/ encryption reason, i would suggest if this is for corporate purposes check your company policy first,

[mail4ajo]

Corporate email is lotus, about 15-25 emails with attachments, personal with 3 accounts about 5-8 emails in total. I will using it more only when I am travelling or just see the subject and reply if urgent.

Since both the shortlisted phones can accept blackberry services, should corporate email forwarding be an issue? I also have a webmail service for my lotus notes. Is the blackberry device like the curve which my boss uses a must?

Hi All,

I am not able to sync ringtones (not purchaased) ones on my Apple Iphone.
I have searched and tried everything suggested in some threads on apple website.
This is what I did:
1.Set the start stop time and made sure that it is below 30 secs.
2. Convert it to ACC.
3.Locate the file and rename it to ".m4r"
4. Double click the file and it now appears in Itunes under "Ringotnes".
5. Syn the Iphone and also make sure that it is set to sync all ringtones. I have also tried by syncing one ringtone, doesnt work. I have also tried cloing and opening itune and syncing again with no go.
6.After the sync if i cick on the iphone on the left and check ringtones, the ringtone is there.. but after unplugging the phone i cant find that ringtone!!!

Can anyone please help and tell me what i am doing wrong?

IIRC, one can only use ringtones downloaded from itunes. In effect, you first pay $.99 for the song you want as your ringtone and then another $.99 to convert and use it as a ringtone.

Well, you got any link to this software. I googled it and found a software but it ain't free.

just download the "ringtones" software from the installer -- that can convert any song of your from your library into a ring tone

aZa - I am using N95 and successfully done the UPnP configuration. My Vista laptop and N95 communicate each other and I can stream all pic/mp3/media files in my laptop to my N95. I tried it with my desktop XP but failed. Is your PC/laptop running XP or Vista? My plan is to build/get another device and I should be able to use my N95 as a control point. I should be able to take files from my laptop and export it the new device with N95.

Hi KB. Eventhough I've had the iPhone for about 7 months now, haven't gotten down to modding it yet. Hence the noob question(s)..

What is an installer? How do you use it? Where do you d/l it from? And where do you download the ringtone software from?
