Looks like site is not updated. Does not show the p3300 on there. How are the prices in Singapore for PDAs anyone knows?

Regular N95 can candle upto 32Gb card , 8GB is highest card available atm & costs around 4800, so i'm confused whether to buy N95 8Gb or not , if nokia had released an another variant of N95 8gb with card slot that would be great just like N81( two variants one with 8gb & other with Card slot ) , N95-8GB can not do a thing more than the N95 except 8gb & extra ram + screen is bigger (2.6 V/s 2.8) & black colour .

I dont know about BLR but here in HyderabadI have seen 4 models of HTC. The S710(with a sliding 'qwerty' keypad), P3400, P3450 touch flo and the P3300 with GPS etc. I like the touch flo best. So I use it. I wanted to upgrade to the newer 3300 but it doesn't come with a touch screen, so I decided against it. The 3450 is really neat. The touch flo function is awesome. It comes with a 1GB card and WM6.0. The PDA functions are just too good. The only problem is once you have it you will just have to have the GPRS / Edge connectivity which will set you back by another 400/- p.m.

Update on my Dad's E61i (contd from post #2080 and #2097 )

Bought Vito AudioNotes: Nokia call recorder - VITO AudioNotes

Nice bit of SW. Simple to use, no overly complicated settings (which also means very few options & settings, heh, heh).

Bought the Nokia AD-46, Pop-Port to 3.5mm adapter:

- It works as a hands-free too (the mic & button are on the rectangular stub-thing where the jack is).
- Just decent audio quality.
- Works with all earphones/headphones with 16-ohm or higher impedance.
- Annoying beep in earphones whenever you press any button on the phone (grrr...)
- Was the only piece with the Nokia Shop (not my dealer). So had to pay 1000/- (MRP 1080/-) because of the take-it-or-leave-it approach (Grrrrr....).
- Better choice than Nokia's stereo hands-free (for pop-port) at 890/-.

Ordered this from Pdair:

More impressions (Gripes):
The phone is slippery as an eel. The aluminium back-plate looks right $exy and all, but if you're not careful, the phone slips off your grip faster than you can say "oops".

The backlighting of the keypad feels pretty bad now. It is difficult to make out the number buttons when I'm in a dark room, and the keypad backlight is on (the alphabets are ok, though).

The softkeys under the display give very bad tactile feel. And they are tough to press (too thin and long).

I still like this phone very much, though. My E90 is probably jealous by now
