I'm still not sure about the prices, my friend seems to be taking his time. Any clues about the price?
Diamond 2 would probably be out of budget, I don't quite mind saving from my budget of max 19k, I'd prefer not putting in more .

I picked up a black E63 as well. Available with B&W (Nokia India). Checked 4-5 shops in Powai (incl a Mobile World and RPG Cellcomm) before I found the colour. Red is easily available, black and blue are harder to find.

Just bought a Blue, 2 weeks back. Would have preferred black only if I'd have known!

Any information on the launch of the Nokia N97.
I'm really waiting for that phone.
Sure to be a killer.

The only downside I could see was, the absence of the Xenon flash. I have it on my N82, and it just can't be compared to the LED.

None of the demo's had anything on multi-touch. So if its not that, then its not killing the iphone!. Not happening enough you see!

It sure is gonna kill itself if you use all it's features. For the N97, Nokia have decided to use a single ARM 11 processor with a clock speed of 434 MHz. This does seem a bit low and some were expecting to see a processor packing a bit more punch, something in the 600 MHz region say, which would be comparable with other handsets announced so far this year or even with the E55. If they plan to get the phone smooth with this kinda hardware they'll seriously have to work on perfectly optimizing the firmware - as if that's gonna happen. There's a nokia n97 killing article here.

Guys I need your help. Have just bought a diamond phone, upgraded from a p1i. My contacts are on outlook express but htc active sync can't connect to those. I installed outlook 2007 but I can't figure out how to import my contacts. I've tried lots of things, please help

deathwalkr · 6th May 2009, 10:46

dude congrats on the diamond

hate syncing with outlook so really cant be of help to you on that :(

but how's the phone?

DerAlte · 6th May 2009, 11:16

In Outlook 2007. select "Import and Export" from the File menu, and select "Import Internet Mail and Addresses" in the options box. It should auto-sense Outlook Express settings and storage, including stored emails and Contacts.

Not from singapore as the price different was enough for me to feel the need for a compromise on warranty. Your contact offered a price of 18.9k which I thought was a bit on the high side. Took a trip to karol bagh and picked it up for 18k with bill and warranty. Knew someone who said the shop would provide a quality product. Loving the phone, the new battery's doing its job quite well. Just updated rom so it's quite fast although I didn't find the previous one sluggish to be honest. Tweaked it up a bit so there's auto rotate everywhere, there's shake for profile switching and all. Now looking for a good keyboard for my fat fingers. Thanks!

Tried that but it didn't work. Any manual method. There has to be something; Or can't I use a different program to transfer the contacts?
