i heard about this Indisms thing! any one has used it?

No it is not as simple as PC to just upload the fonts , In fact PCs also have IME framework ( Input method editor) to support this and you install a lot of other things when you install a new language support and not just fonts.

Best for you is to look for India specific phones from major manufacturers which support multiple Indian languages , Also host of Indian companies are coming up with Windows mobile phones with Indian language Inputs.

Leaving it for others to suggest brands etc.

Although I got not a single response to my quiery I had posted a week back, now you have someone to talk to if you own a Vivaz or plan to buy one.

Congrats Shaju, loooks really nice. Some basic questions I would ask regarding a phone (not that thats what they are these days).

How easy is it to use SMS? I dont think this one has a separate keypad.
Hows the voice clarity?
Whats the talktime?

Sorry, no hi-tech questions

I think around 8000. Seen the Micromax Xxxx (ebay) and an Acer DX560 (Homeshop18) for that kind of price.

The Acer is unique, it has dula interface. Check the images on the net.

Sammy, its a great phone according to me as a temporary convert from blackberry, and this is my first touch phone too. Touch sensitivity is not as good as iphone (used my co-brother's iphone 3GS for few hours).

SMS or email would be a breeze. It doesnt have a keypad, but you have the choice of mini Qwerty, full Qwerty or Handwriting with the stylus all on the touch technology. If you have chosen full Qwerty, screen will turn to horizontal angle whenever an SMS or email is to be typed. Just use the thumbs of left and right hand and touch the keys. I find it faster than typing on my blackberry. Typing speed, fonts, lanugage etc. all can be customised different ways.

Voice clarity is very good, I dont find much of a difference from my previous phones. Headphone is reported to be bad in many reviews, but I find it good enough for my purpose.

Talktime is very subjective. I charge once in 3 days with heavy youtube usage, gaming (for my son) and the usual SMS, calls, photos, videos etc. It comes with a 8GB micro SD card, it was already full twice in 4 days, because I went crazy shooting pics and videos (of my kids mostly). But the beginning craze for photos and videos will not last much as I use my DSLR whenever there is seriousness to it. So no plan to get a higher GB card as of now (expandable upto 32GB).

Vivaz, Xperia and Satio come from sony ericsson with similar features as I understand.

thats because the vivaz has a resistive touch screen whereas the iphone has a capacitive touch screen.

i have no idea about the satio but the Xperia X10 & vivaz are completely different. the only thing common is both share a 8MP camera.

the X10 has a Android OS whereas the Vivaz has a Symbian OS.

Hi,

I need a little help from you guys. I am looking for a phone with in a range of 8-12k. The main features i am looking in is GPS, WiFi and a decent camera. I can live without music.

Some of my friends has nokia 5800. But they said that GPS will work only when you have internet connection. So i need to know is there any GPS phone which can work without internet or GPS signal if someone want?

Also if someone experience the micromax W900(mapmyindia apps preinstalled) then please enlighten me.

Thanks,
Sudhakar

Well without internet all the phones with GPS will work but satellite tracking would be painfully slow. Using network phone gets initial information on the satellite data and works faster ( A-GPS)
This is true for all phones.

About micromax I would also be interested in knowing feedback from someone if there are no obvious flaws it makes a good bargain.

New to this thread here. Here is my recent phone ownage history -
2007 - iPhone 2G
Used it well for over 3 years and then figured it would be a time for an upgrade!
2010 Feb - iPhone 3GS
Bricked it in a month. Did not know the firmware only comes with tethered jailbreak. Had to plug it into the computer everytime after a reboot. One day came to a full halt, was in a recovery mode loop and never jumped out of it. Ultimately upgraded to 3.1.3 and now its locked and non-jailbreakable. I only have my 3.1.3 SHSH blob saved, so cannot downgrade either. Waiting for the iPhone Gods to shed some light onto my situation.

Bought a 2nd hand iPhone 2G from ebay. Used it for a while and gave it to my wife =)

Bought an HTC HD2 (wooooot) - Happy with it to an extent. 4.3in screen, responsive touch screen, integrated facebook and twitter, plays good video...etc etc...1GHz snap dragon processor, ample RAM, 8GB storage. Built in Remote Desktop which is awe-some!
The iPhone - Windows Mobile transistion was a bit rough. Like all windows OS'es - Hung most of the time, Crashes, Error Reports...etc. The phone has 5 buttons at the bottom, and still there is not a way to soft reset in case its hung up! Thats where iPhones rule. They can do everything with 1 Home button and Power!

Waiting for the HTC Android team to release somethin for the HD2 so that I can install that instead of Win Mobile!
