Can someone suggest me if there is any free webmail with activesync capability. It would be best if it offers that with Exchange 2003 mailbox and OWA, but just activesync will do as well. That is the primary requirement.

A friend thinking of upgrading his N73 to windows Mobile. He zeroed down to HTC models as of now. He's keen on S730 but it is not available here. Want to know which ones are available in INDIA ?

Also any other alternatives to HTC within 20K bracket ?

Yes, they will be deleted. However, you can always restore from the backup taken before the up gradation.

Select "Gsm Mode" in network setting & turn off "Wlan searching" it will increase the standy by time.

Two bits of good news

1) N82 owners, a new FW update is out. This FW supports "User Data Preservation" ie you don;t lose your data and settings after the FW update. But please backup before the update anyway.

2) An S60 v.3 version of OggPlay is out! It doesn't work on an E90 as yet (no suitable skin yet), but it should work well on most other v.30 phones. (Apparently there is a lot of wasted real-estate on the E61 screens.)

Hi,

1. Performance (Time taken to navigate menus)
2. Bluetooth
3. Expansion slot

If anybody has used this earlier or knows anything, can u please help with this?

Cheers

well, a question to any Nokia N95 or N95 8GB or E90 users. Any of you using 3rd party GPS software? The Nokia built in gps looks crap and expensive for me. So I have installed Garmin in my N95 8GB and it works perfect for me. So just wondering if any one else using Garmin or other software, then how good is Garmin India map and is it available somewhere to download?
And size of map? Europe map already took 1.3GB :-(

cheap_deal · 25th January 2008, 21:31

i use garmin on my n95 8gb its much much better than nokia maps. i love the fact that it displays the actual speed your travelling at, its more accurate than my speedometer in the car.
the garmin maps for N.America are quite good. haven't used India maps so i cant comment on that.

Been using N82 for a while now! Its a fully loaded phone. The pictures from the 5mp cam + xenon flash is awesome and better than other cameraphones in the same range. TV out, accelerometer (API is out and so there are a lot of s/w using this feature and its UBER BLING!!!!) 640x480 30fps video is also very good. GPS is very fast, delhi map is comprehensive.

And the software doesn't "HANG" as frequently as my old n73me, its just "hanged" on me once coz of some 3rd party app.

i bought it for 24K current prices are around 21-22K.
