What are the differences between Defy and Defy+ except the gingerbread update?

One account can use one coupon only once, be it one product, be it multiple product on single checkout. that coupon will not let you checkout again if you used it already.

hsbclb gets you 10% off
letsbuy15 gets you 15% off (haven't used yet)

A coupon can be used only once per account/ login ID.
If you want COD, then I don't know which coupon would work, since icici and rcom coupons did not work for me (they get applied, but when you go to next page, there is an error somewhere saying that COD is not available for this type of coupon or something similar).
The HSBC coupon is for HSBC card holders only.

HSBC coupon works for credit card payments too, not compulsorily HSBC Issued.

Yes & No, I had newshunt app installed with which I could read news in Malayalam. I guess Android still cannot display Indic fonts natively though.

Check this phone out. Wonder whether we will see it for the same price here in India.

Impressive hardware, plus it uses the MIUI Android ROM which gets updated every week. Though I'd be wary entering too many confidential details (username/passwords to secure important sites) via a chinese ROM.

You can always have another ROM. Or go through the sources. Or go to Android source. and home brew.

That is why I insist it is Free as in Freedom, and not free beer.

Anyone knows where to enter Message centre number in 2.3?
I'm unable to send messages and BSNL CC asked me to check the number.

Do you have messaging icon on the home screen? Open it. Hit menu key. Select settings. "Message center" is the 7th item, or so.

An update on battery life

I fully charged the phone daybefore (17th) evening, around 4.30 PM. Yesterday and day before night, I switched off GPRS. (GPRS on only during day time). Now, it is still showing 39% battery balance. Around 20 phone calls since last recharge. about 1.5 hours browsing (using apps - not the browser).

39% remaining after this much?? Yay!!!!

CPUtuner and battery calibrator are the apps I use. (Set CPU is paid, and I am not confident yet with having to pay - still need to learn few things).

Do you receive messages? Can you find the "settings" button with the list of messages open??
