Going to be a long hop

                                    As the title brief, finally its time to change my mobile device but what is that hop?? i am talking about. Yes, the OS which the phone runs, my current device Nokia N73 Music edition runs on S60 3rd edition intial release and my new phone which is going to be Nokia 5800 XM runs on S60 5th edition. For better understanding please read this 

                                 Between the S60 3rd intial release and S60 5th edition there were S60 3rd edition Feature pack1(Nokia N82,E71,E63 etc..), S60 3rd edition Feature pack2 (Nokia N96, N79, N78,N86, E72 etc), i found N73 music edition was good for my purpose and didnt update to any of those devices and now i found it to be so outdated and boring also Nokia have stopped support for this device and releasing firmware updates 

Why Nokia 5800XM ??

Being a Nokia fanboy i was disappointed when other mobile phone makers like Samsung, LG etc releasing touchscreen phones well ahead of Nokia. Finally they broke the shackles out and released 5800XM full touchscreen device and the first to run S60 5th edition symbian OSv9.4 there were lot of problems with both hardware and software of this device which made it unstable and well known earpiece problem volume too low, worst case not working is the most annoying one, and since the OS version was new there were less third party apps for the device. Now the story is entirely different and every problem is addressed and there are plethora of apps available many are freeware, you can get some here

                          Till date this device is the only value for money phone packing all the features one would expect in a smartphone, the intial firmware of the device was very buggy and the recently released v31 seems to be stable overall the phone is zippy also Nokia have drastically reduced the price of this device. This phone was a bit of disappointment for those who bought it when it was launched and many of them were expecting Nokia to release a firmware update to make it stable and now it is stable and running great i am not going to waste any more time getting this one 

Secondary device :

                        It doesnt imply that i am going to dump my N73ME and get this one, i am going to use it as my secondary device it is still rock solid with no problems and the camera in it is one of the best 3.2MP ever fitted on a mobile device

I will post my 5800XM experience after playing around with it for sometime so watch out for this space

Thank you

Full specifications of Nokia 5800XM , 5800XM
                 
                      

Misunderstanding the Word "Speed breaker"

Look at this pic its a speed breaker opposite to my office building and each and every time when i see someone mostly two wheelers passby this one their face turns red and they curse it like anything and the brain behind this speed breaker has understood the word "speed breaker" very severely and has laid this one with such efforts.Users of this road are avoiding it completely for the sake they should cross this disturbance. Yes speed breakers are essential and needed but that should not make one not use that particular road this is a prime example of it

Its not a Speed breaker its a Speed stopper.

What do you call this... fate???

              One Friday when I woke up it was 2pm in the afternoon don’t blame me for sleeeeping that long that’s because I slept after night shift at work adding to my frustration there was no power in our area and there was less amount of rice too, so took my bike and went out to buy rice so at least I can manage with curd rice to fill my starving stomach to my surprise rice shops nearby my house were closed due to lunch time only disadvantage in my area is you don’t have hotels, mess or any kaiyendhi bhavans.
                    Guess what my next idea was let us have Pizza for lunch today (en nenapula theeya vaikka). Nearest pizza shop from my place is about 3 to 4kms that wasn’t a great deal for me since I was ready go there considering my starvation at that moment, found the pizza shop it was Dominos' Pizza saw the list and found they are having veg pizzas from Rs39 onwards, in the billing counter i just told the lady give me a small size pizza pointing this Rs39 one of the chart, I don’t know what she understood and billed me for a 107Rs pizza again considering my starvation I gave the money and got it and something made me to take it home and eat.
                    
                           I was heading back home and met with an accident with another two wheeler (don’t panic its a mild one)and my right leg got bruised and it led to a severe damage to my bike left handle bar got dislocated, mud guard broke and controls on the left side including indicators, horn didn’t function OMG look at the chain of events here, what next at around 4.15 pm I entered my house with this pizza but hats off to dominos' pizza packing it was rock solid inside and that didn’t even move an inch from its place, thinking it will satisfy my stomach I had a bite, I was totally disappointed it was so horrible to eat and I felt why did I decide to get this one I have eaten pizzas sometime back in bakery shops for Rs30 and it kicks dirt on this one from a familiar pizza shop.

Bottom-line: A lunch which could have got over by 25rs had I found a rice shop ended spending more than 650Rs , Yes doctor consultation, medicine, bike repair and this crap pizza cost. I show less interest towards fate, Raghukalam, Yemagandam but incidents like these really make me wonder, do these virtual things make changes in our day today activities, I admit the fact that it was a horrible decision from me, there could be two reasons for this when I would have opted against my instincts saying nothing will happen secondly I have no other go to doubt these virtual things

So with what can I conclude????

1. Never ever in your lifetime have pizza that too for lunch.
2. Don’t sleep long even after night shifts.
3. Drive slowly.
4. Don’t believe these virtual things.

Mobile phone Operating frequncies

Bought a mobile phone in the United states will it work in India ??, same way if u buy a mobile phone outside your native country and want to know if that works in other countries too then this article will be of little help

First what u have to look before buying a mobile phone in other countries and also want to use them wherever you go is  their Operating frequncies

Operating frequncies differ from country to country, example if you take U.S for instance their operating frequencies are entirely different from other part of the world its like "U.S and Rest of the World", there are two things involved here one is operating frequency of GSM and WDCDMA(for 3G)

Note: For detailed information look here GSM and WCDMA  also look UMTS

Want to know what is the Network band for your country Look here

Now consider this case where your device is a Quad band GSM and triband WCDMA one which works on 850/900/1800/1900 GSM networks and 900/1900/2100 WCDMA networks and you have bought this device in India and want to use it in the U.S

For a mobile device to work in india it should support GSM 900 and WCDMA (for 3G) 2100 frequency bands atleast, on the other hand the same device to work in the U.S under GSM and WCDMA(for 3G) it should support GSM850 or GSM1900 and WCDMA 850 or 1900 frequency bands, now select a device which works on all these frequencies and you are good to go, its worth looking into the company website before buying the device, its not going to take any hard time to check whether it supports all frequencies that are out there considering you want to the device to function wherever you go  

Some devices may not work on all 3G netwroks it depeds on the service provider you choose but a device of above specification works on all GSM networks

comments welcome.........

Something missing !!!!!!

A-????
B- tooth
C- reder


















This banner has lost its significance a close read will do it


















Well this one needs correction, when the bunk is out of fuel who bothers about it

Its time to scratch your heads

"Diwali Offer scratch the card and get exciting gifts worth lakhs"

Get the hell out of here, what are these people thinking, you see alot of these at the time of festive seasons and the truth behind this is you are wasting time in scratching that card, it is not worth a rupee and gifts what you get is only disappointment "Better luck next time"

Often shop owners dish out these "fit for nothing" offers to allure customers to buy products in their shops and malls and for a surprise this time its a major mobile phone company which has stepped in to these crap offers and i have never heard anyone by luck has benefited by these offers also there will be no announcements that "this" person has won the lucky draw. they make offer announcements and forget to give the prices after, true fact is there will be nothing to give neither the scratch card or coupon etc..have the wordings " Congrats your are the luck winner of this 'crap' "





This offer was a total farce that almost no one got great cash backs instead got useless wallpapers, ringtones and applications why on earth one should buy phone only to get applications and wallpapers as offers when there are umpteen available on the internet a simple google search would do wonders here, had it been any free gifts like headphones, blutooth headsets, speaker systems etc there are a lot which can be given and no one would have cursed that company on that auspicious day

what i have observed in the recent years is it is only an act of hood-winking people and make them fall into the trap and sincerely the prices and offers are not present in it, mostly i advice relatives, friends of mine not to buy products capped under these offers

You can even rely on discounts like 10% to 50 % but that too have cons in it, but when compared to the said above they are considerable

So when next time you see any sort of these eyewashing offers stay away and avoid it or dont be the first fooled out instead check with the others who were fooled

Diffusing B in movies

Bomb diffusing sequences in most of the indian movies will be a nail-biter, hero will be in a situation to save some people in factory, public meeting, old building etc....

This will be the moment everyone scratches their head which wire red, green or blue in that bomb needs to be disconnected so that the timer stops, there will only be fewer seconds left and finally our hero cuts any wire and the timer stops just at 2 or 3 sec before the time of blast, thats acceptable our hero is not a bomb diffuser nor a electronics engineer

Now this is interesting who on earth said that hollywood movies dont have such sort of artificial nail-biting scenes one night i saw Armageddon movie(released in the year 1998) on star movies and it was the first time i saw it i wont go into the story though and it goes like this hero, his crew, an astronaut from NASA and some sciencetists are on a space mission at one stage people down on earth decides to abort the mission losing hope that it will not be a success so they trigger a nuclear bomb so that the space shuttle explodes on space

That NASA astronaut is the only person who knows a bit about it and hero will literally fall on his feet to deactivate it and promises the astronaut that he will complete the mission successfully for god sake and finally persuades the astronaut, 3 min left he dont know which wire he should cut, sweat pours down from everyone's face red or blue, red or blue...... is the murmur, finally he cuts the blue wire the times stops at 2 sec

Hey let us be logical here a NASA astronaut who would have surely known that the bomb would be triggered at one stage was he not told how to deactivate it atleast in case of emergencies and why he should break into the circuitry of that nuclear bomb to diffuse it ??
