Infractions: 0/2 (9) | ![]() Finally installed ICS on my Xperia Ray. So far so good. Graphically, ICS feels way better. Lag seems to have reduced and it does feel snappier. Gotta ride it more to notice other changes... |

| ![]() Hey. Came across this app today and have just installed it. I find it to be very useful. It lets us make calls/send sms when away from the phone. Some of the features of this app are/were offered by Nokia via their PC Suite, but this one is for Android and the presentation is a lot better. https://phonedeck.com/ Your thoughts ? |

| ![]() am completely new to android market. Used E71 since 08. Now the time has come to make it to next level. PS: i have garmin for gps and panny fz for pics and movie recording. So if they arent there no issues on the phone Requirements. 1. Simple and easy to use (voice dialing assuming if its touch phone). I have large fingers. 2. Browsing internet mostly over wifi and 20% on 3g. (team-bhp etc..google. news) 3. reading pdf files. 4. battery very important. ( atleast charge should last 2 days) 5. reception of cell signal should be good. 6. wifi. 7. great music 8. video calls. 9. easy to carry around (size is important to me as i want to carry it in my pocket not bulk) 10. budget not a issue i know its a dream combination however i would seek your suggestions. Some things i figured out were 1. galaxy nexus prime i9250 (pune price gray market 23kapprox) 2. galaxy note. 3. galaxy s2 4. galaxy tab 2 + a simple phone nokia x302 5. iphone 4s 6. nokia e6 all suggestions moe than welcome Regards, rahul Last edited by Rahulk76 : 26th May 2012 at 13:28.

1) Xperia Neo for day to day activities 2) Galaxy Tab 2 (Ordered, yet to receive) for PDF reading, browsing at home and occasional GPS use in car. Believe me, for PDF reading I even felt the 4.3" screens to be inadequate. Thats why arrived at this ![]() | |

I have the 7 inch kindle and I tried reading PDFs. Its just not possible, where you keep scrolling. You will need a 9 inch tablet. | |

![]() Well, i have used ipad2 and believe me the eyes really hurt on them even after reading say 2 / 3 pages due to oleds. somehow then its my experience. (i dont like ipad personally) but then its not a 100% major factor deciding. I have heard good reviews about ics4.0. and its smaller in size to carry around than 10 inchers. if its a 10 incher screen, then i would have gone for a netbook (eyes closed). anyways.. so i understand the best combo 1. galaxy tab2 with ICS4 & a decent phone with buttons like eg. nok x2-03 Last edited by Rahulk76 : 26th May 2012 at 14:26.

![]() Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P-3100 Wi-Fi, 3G, 16GB INBUILT MEMORY , 7" P3100 Tab | eBay Yes, I too had the same opinion about OLEDs. For some reason I have never been a fan of OLEDs. Am not a fan of those highly saturated pixels. What you felt is correct, for reading books an LCD seems to be a better solution (at least for my eyes). | |

And on a more general topic, none of the lcd/Oled screens are good for reading for long times. Paper-ink displays are the best which are on Kindle/Nook/adam etc.. | |

the main issue with an LCD while reading is the back light, the kind of back light (LED/CFL) doesn't matter.prolonged reading will hurt your eyes. If you need a good PDF reader get a kindle/nook. you'll get the base models for ~5k. these are black and white though.you can buy the galaxy note as your primary phone as it is big enough to read most PDF's. | |
