N78's keypad is the main problem area for users with big hands!
I also felt the handset to be rather slow, please try it out to feel for yourself.
But at ~ 14.5k its a VFM product.

Let me get back home and see which is the pc sync version i have in my laptop, finding an older version of pc sync online shouldnt be a big issue.

Any pointers on where I might be able to buy a Motorola CDMA phone in Hyderabad.

Reliance Web World does not have any stock and the other players like Mobile Store, Univercel and Subhiksha done keep it.

Nokia just launched 5800 XpressMusic!(Codenamed "Tube") And it is priced attractively too - 279 Euors i.e. Rs. 18k approx. Except for 3.2MP(was hoping for 5MP) camera everything else looks awesome. Will be released in a month or so.

NCR guys, any RELIABLE Sony Ericsson service center known to any of you? Need to give my daughter's phone & am extremely wary of the run of the mill ones that I'm aware of. I wonder how most of them are "authorized" by the companies when they can't even handle a phone with care, let alone fix it!

There's one SE auth service center (for warranty repairs) in new friends colony who are a certifiable bunch of jokers. stay away - lest you decide to hop over from office!!

Well the Tube has finally been launched and at this price approx. 18k its looking good. So I guess it should be available sometime this month end here in India and will give a great fight to Samsung and Iphone with their overpriced phones. Looks like Iphone prices may now come down, but then you dont really know, as apple is known to charge a lot more for eveything, including basic accessories.

@Mav2000 : are u talking about nokia express music 5800.
it still looks a bit overpriced (just a bit and not grossly)

waiting till the final specs are out.
At present all i know is that it has GPS wifi and 3.2 carl zeiss optics and memory support upto 16GB via SDHC

Had they put in a 5mp cam. This fone wud have beaten the $#!T out of others

phamilyman · 3rd October 2008, 15:14

... including Nokia's own N96 - that would've been cannibalism

And there is another one in East of Kailash/GK (I cant remember exactly), which is more like Comedy Circus. So if someone directs you to them, please stay away.
