But this is the only other way of retaining your sanity form those wretched apps that LG has unleashed on its customers.

Force close is disabled in case of Bollywoodji
what is the way ahead ?

Samsung Google Nexus S: Full Phone Specifications, Price, Reviews

28k and that too for the S-LCD version!Too xpansive considering it is the same thing as the Samsung I9003 which is available for 19k types. Google Sucks! 10k just for logo.

I am inclined towards Incredible S now!

I didn't go for Samsung becos of my old Service Exp for my another Mobile... It was very pathetic.

I started with checking at big bazaar, where it quoted 11.1K.
the shops that you mentioned, were taking hard stand for almost 12k.

Now i am going to try chroma and ezone.
Ezone is quoting a good price of 10.250k as per

Has anyone faced this problem here? I use an LG Optimus One. When I try uploading any photo to Facebook using the Share to Facebook option, the upload fails and I see a message as "Cannot Upload" and stuff. Any soolution for this?

Reduce the photo size or increase your Bandwith. This is a common problem across 3G networks and the current gen smart phones. IIIFFF everything is Ideal then you are connected and have good functions to explore.

I've had absolutely no data bandwith in Yercaurd during end 2010 with both Airtel as well as BSNL networks

My sister uses the similar phone and she is able to upload the pics with ease, where as I am not. I think this looks to be an application specific issue. Wish to hear if someone has experienced the same?

^^ Croma is very expensive. I bought my galaxy ace in Pimpri for 14500, while Croma's price was 15900 !!

Could you post or PM the shop details? (would be in baner over weekend)
the local shops seems to quote on higher side in hadapsar. maybe they were just checking on buyer.

in general, where in pune do we get best deals on phones?

Just get into Pimpri market (When coming from Pune on the old highway, turn left at pimpri chowk circle - the circle before Ginger hotel - keep going straight, cross the bridge, turn left and continue straight). That lane is full of mobile phone shops. You can check in all those shops and bargain for the best price. I found them much cheaper. Even Aundh prices were much higher.

Nikhil, through my wildfire, I can upload even a 1.5Mb size pic, but it takes a while. I have activated VMC 199 plan. If you are on basic GPRS service, probably it is not able to upload or else try the "Facebook for Android" app and see if it works for your upload.
And yes try and reduce the photo size as well before uploading.

Manish, I am using Facebook for Android for uploading the pics, but am unable to do it.
