Nexus is apparently going for about 25k

I have been a Motorola guy ALL my life. My first phone was a Motorola StarTAC my brother brought home from the US - that was back when I was in college and calls cost ~Rs.7 a minute IIRC! I currently own a Motorola Defy. There's one thing to be said about ALL the motorola phones I have owned over the years (including the original RAZR (non-android), the SLVR, the original Milestone (international Droid)) -- Motorola does get the engineering right, bang-on. I have never had to think about things like call quality, call drop, build quality, or things like touchscreen responsiveness, noise cancellation etc. I have never had to visit a Motorola service center in India. Across owning 6 Moto phones over the years, I have never faced a single issue. So is that just plain luck? I don't think so, because I am a pretty unlucky guy.

In fact, the only thing I have come across over all these years where I have found people not satisfied with a Motorola was when they had a manufacturing defect for the original Defy earpiece. I myself did not have that problem. And they are sloppy with Android updates, I'll be the first to admit that. Otherwise, I can vouch for Motorola. I'm gonna be a loyal buyer as long as they churn out phones from their factories.

Guys, I have a strange issue, though it really is not meant for this thread.

I am unable to access sonymobile.com in my desktop. My residence has an Airtel broadband. Even my office has an Airtel broadband and even there I am unable to access the said website. It says "server not found". Not only that, I wanted to update Sony PC companion, even that was not working. I have tried with Firefox, Chrome and even IE, but to no avail.

All the other sites are working normally. I went to a friend's place who uses a local LAN and in his place, the website did work. What could be the issue?

It works fine on airtel broadband. Did you try google DNS as backup?

Guys,

I Really need a stable, minimal, fast launcher & dialer combo for my streak.
My trusty Go launcher+dialer are creating a mess for past two weeks!
I am expecting a few important calls soon!
I really dont want my phone to goof it up - due to FCing Launcher&dialer.

I am on DSC 1.3 (Custom ROM from xda - based on 2.3.3 )
Rest all apps run fine.
It just goes so nuts with the Go Dialer/Launcher screens! :grrrr:

Thank you folks!

Ace.

For ICS ROMs, how are you guys managing the contact list? I upgraded the ROM on my P500 to CM9 and once I logged in with my google account, it downloaded all the unwanted contacts and etc. So bugging! So what I did was I had a contact list file (.vcf) and installed all the contacts from there. But still no way to show only those contacts. Bugging. Finally, I had to remove all contacts from contacts.google.com and then I could view contacts from only the .vcf file. Did you guys have any other way to do this?

Guys, anyone using Droid RAZR (XT910)? Quite impressed by its specs,looks and the price. Wanted to know feedback from real users... Should I get one? :)

You get it for 25k in the grey in Bombay, which ofcourse means no samsung/google warranty.

I have been facing a problem with my note right from the day i bought it.when speaking over to someone ,if i adjust the ear volume even the ring volume is getting adjusted along with it.is this problem noted by others too?? is there a solution to this ? :Frustrati

I've heard only good things about it so far, but price/performance may depend on your comparison with GNexus and SGS2.

uh, try installing QUick settings. It has different settings for each type of volume. YMMV ofc.

But... Buying an Apple device means buying a way of life. No thanks!

When one can just plug a USB cable into it, and do all the stuff that we do with all the other things we just plug USB cables into, let alone android-based devices, without having to run any particular piece of software, then one of Apple's piece of industrial-design sculpture might be worth considering, but not until.

Sorry, not wanting to start an Apple war: sure, they have their advantages, but some of us just don't want in, regardless.

For 3k more you could try the Droid RAZR Max its got almost double the battery.

Based on your usage i may suggest the google pad(Newly launched one) or the windows based ones.

Also Acer and Asus have two of the fastest Pad lineups.

If not apple there is a whole lot of choice. I personally would avoid samsung in the tablet segment. Asus and ACer have better tablet compared to samsung.

Please refer to page 710 onwards for responses to my query. I feel the razr is a great phone.The OS is almost stock,great screen,etc.This phone seems great for 25750k(snapdeal).If you can extend your budget slightly then the razr maxx is great with its humongous battery.:D
If you prefer a phone with a good camera,screen then the Sony xperia s may interest you but dont expect a great battery relative to the max and it cost about 28k.

Regards

Dude, its Flipkart you are dealing with. You should have hardly worried even if it was a pre-paid purchase. Its more than likely they would have collected the item back and refunded the money since the product did not meet specifications. The experience is hardly a reason not buy from them (or any other reputed seller). Also, the delivery guy let you open it before paying, so it must be Flipkart's own delivery service. I don't think any courier guy would let you open the package without paying.
