"A smart phone or sphone is any electronic handheld device that integrates the functionality of a mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA) or other information appliance. This is often achieved by adding telephone functions to an existing PDA (PDA Phone) or putting "smart" capabilities, such as PDA functions, into a mobile phone. A key feature of a smart phone is that additional native applications can be installed on the device. The applications can be developed by the manufacturer of the handheld device, by the operator or by any other third-party software developer. "Smart" functionality includes any additional interface including a QWERTY board, a touch screen, or even just secure access to company mail, such as is provided by a BlackBerry"

So how many people truly use a cellphone for any thing other than voice and text communication???
Surely i wont call them geeks, but may be about 5% of all the people who own a smart phone truly use it to its potential and push it to the limits.
Putting it simple Smart phones typically have processors running at 260Mhz to somewhere in the range of 500Mhz. YES thats true. And have RAM from 10 MB to somewhere 256 MB + Mostly an expandable slot which can be taken upto 2GB and even more (8gb internal hdd for N91). 1Mpixel to upto 5Mpixel camera, Video recording stereo sound.
MOST IMPORTANT :- An "OS" - Operating System.
Now what would you call this ???? "Multimedia computers" exactly. The cellphones are probably just about 5yrs behind from PC in terms of configuration. But again a smartphone need not compete with a laptop / PC because its a different ball game.
So now since we know what the hardware is capable of, you need a Smart User to use a smart phone. Or else its just another cell phone. My current Smartphone is N6630 my 3rd smartphone after 6600,3230 and i am addicted to it. Nowadays i find myself increasingly spending time with my smartphone reading Feeds, ebooks, browsing, listening to music while commuting and off course playing games.
Here are few things you can do with a smart phone apart from the regular word , exel , power point , pdf docs that a smart phone can open/edit.
The list of smart Apps is endless :-
Divx player, Shozu, Opera, Profimail, Widsets, SmartMovie, Google Maps, Gmail Client, Symtorrent, Symella (P2P file sharing for Gnutella), Python. Putty, Apache web server (yes that too is ported for Nokia smart phones, but havent put it to good use myself.) SpodRadio -Internet radio with more than 100 stations. It can also act as IR-remote for most of the electronic items and also as wireless webcam for your pc.
Chat:- Agile messenger:-
An interoperable im client for yahoo,msn,gtalk,etc.
File Explorer:-
Putty:-Every now and then you find yourself needing to do some small things on your server with no Internet connection or SSH in sight. This is where Putty SSH comes to the rescue; while writing with the phone is a somewhat painful experience, this little application is very useful when you need to do small administrative things on the command-line.
Available from: http://s2putty.sourceforge.net/
Music player:- Do you still need an I-Pod (I am not sure, confused again.)
Games:- Skyforce, Asphalt, MotoGP, Chess, Pool.
Even more confusion.
Last month i was confused and had tough time making a call between Maruti Wagon R and Santro. After visiting both the showrooms and taking the test drives, asking lot of friends for opinions finally decided to book a Wagon R Lxi. BUT then Maruti Udyog introduced the all-new Zen Estilo.
For the first time ever maruti has retired a model completely and introduced a new one.
Estil0 = Style. But technically speaking this is not at all a zen. This more like a funky Wagon R , it also reminds of cute lil Matiz. The Alto, Wagon R and the Zen Estilo are spun off the same platform. The 1061cc 16-valve four-cylinder motor that develops 64 bhp at 6200 revs and 8.5 kgm of torque at 3500 rpm.
The cheapest version of the car will have a showroom price of Rs 319,403 in New Delhi.
So the question is should i consider my self lucky that i havent booked the new WagonR (new withe aggressive styling and face lift) ??? i dont know Because i am confused once again.
Santro / Wagon R / Zen Estilo ???
Got these in a mail forwarded by a friend of mine from NCST. This mail was just mind blowing. It was just like one of those hindi movie flashback, straight into my engineering days at RAIT.
People who did engineering from mumbai university can easily relate to each one of these.
Reminds us of those engineering days....
4 years of non-stop of what follows... day after day...
Engineering Dialogues

Tip 1 : Do u know how to use the edit button (abc or pencil button)?
Heres how... in the inbox for example; u wanna delete multiple sms, simply hold the edit button, scroll down, and then, press c to delete the marked sms. The edit button can also b used to copy and past text in sms, simply hold it and scroll across, choose copy. pretty good for placing song names in ngages
Tip 2 : Shit happens, on a smartphone, its inevitable u do something wrong, and tis calls for a format of fone. to format the fone, press *#7370#, then enter the lock code, which is the sec code of the fone.NOTE: batt must b full, else if format is disrupted by low batt, consequences will b disatrous
I heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same i tink.
for 6600 users, to format the fone, theres an alternative way. Press and hold <3>, <*> and Call (Send) buttons, then power on fone, keep holding on the 3 buttons, till u come to a format screen. this method ONLY works on 6600, and need not enter the sec code. BUT sec code would be reset to default 12345.
Tip 3 : TO NGAGE USERS; Did u know u can install .sis files simply using the cable given? Juz plug it in, place the .sis file anywhere on e: (the mmc), not in any folders, root of e:, disconnect, then look for it in manager.
Tip 4: Save on battery and system memory being used by regulary checking the task manager which can be accessed by holding down the menu button!!
Tip 5: Type *#06# to display your IMEI serial number, very valuable for the unlocking your phone to other sim cards
Tip 6: Type *#0000# to view which firmware version you are running
Tip 4a: Set the screen saver to a short time out period to prolong battery life.
Tip 4b: Avoid restarting the phone, or repeatedly turning it on and off. This helps increase battery life.
Tip 7: If you would like to avoid being "blue jacked", keep bluetooth turned off, or set your phone's visibility to hidden.
Tip 8: Don't want to carry a watch and a phone? Set the screen saver to show date and time, then you can ditch the watch.
Tip 9: Save memory when installing apps, by installing over bluetooth. This can be done using the nokia phone suite and a bluetooth serial connection. Only works with .SIS files, so java still has to be sent to the phone, but will save space when using .SIS files.
Tip 10: Operator logos
Use a filemanager like FExplorer or SeleQ to add the folders: "c:/system/Apps/phone/oplogo". Add a .bmp picture to folder "oplogo" and restart your phone! The .bmp picture size needs to be: 97 x 25 pixels
Tip 11: Check if the recepients phone is on
Delivery reports
or
Type *0# your message in the message composer window space then write your message, the recipient will not see the star zero hash bit - just the message When they read it it will relay a message back to your fone showing the time they recieved it. (haven't yet tried it myself though)
Tip 12: BlueJacking
First up, you need to know what Bluetooth is. There are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate Bluetooth as one of their many features. PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern devices. Bluetooth means that Bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address book contacts, pictures & notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range of about 10 metres. So, we've got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, eg. 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field. Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will popup saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has just been received by Bluetooth" or something along those lines. For most 'victims' they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone.
Tip 13: While you are viewing a picture in your phone's gallery, press one of these shortcut keys (definitely works on 6600, not sure about other symbians)
1 - turn image anticlockwise
3 - turn image clockwise
* - toggle on/off of full screen
5 - zoom in
0 - zoom out
#15 u can select all files in a folder by selecting THE folder and copy it then paste it somewhere. however u need to make a new directory. fexplorer wun let u copy that folder together. well seleQ can mark files to copy but it really takes time!
#16: A soft and Hard reset
A Soft-reset - the process of resetting all the settings of the phone to the factory default! No applications are deleted! A Hard-reset is like formatting a drive! It does format the memory. Everything that has been installed after the first use of the phone is deleted! It will recover the memory of the phone to the state you purchased it! It is done by inputing the following code: *#7370# NOTE: The battery must be full or the charger has to be connected to the phone so that it does not run out of power and make the phone unusable.
#17: Formats of images
supported ones: JPG UPF GIF87a/89a WBMB MBM TIFF/F PNG EXIF
How to copy & paste text in your Nokia 3650:
Press and hold the pencil key and select your text using the scroll key.
Left function key will change to 'Copy'. Press it to copy the selected text to clipboard.
You can paste the clipboard contents the same way:
press and hold the pencil key and press 'Paste'. Or, press pencil key once and select 'Paste'.
Press and hold the Menu key to open the application switching window, where you can *duh* switch between applications.
If a program hangs and you can't shut it down, select the application in the
application switching window and press 'C' to kill it. It's also a faster way to exit programs.
Turn on/off the "click" sound made by the camera by selecting the 'Silent' profile or by turning warning tones on/off:
Menu > Profiles > "select your activated profile" > Personalise > Warning tones > On/Off.
(This also effects the sound of Java games and apps).
To change background image go to:
Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Standby mode > Background image > Yes > "choose an image".
The best size for background images is 174x132 pixels.
Only got blue, green and purple in your 3650 colour palette?
This free app adds 3 more colours: Palette Extender.
Display an image when someone's calling:
Menu > Contacts > "select a contact card" > Options > Edit > Options > Add thumbnail > "choose an image".
Add a personal ringing tone to a contact:
Menu > Contacts > "select a contact card" > Options > Open > Options > Ringing tone > "choose a ringing tone".
Delete all messages from your Inbox at once:
Menu > Messaging > Inbox > Options > Mark/Unmark > Mark all > Options > Delete.
Send or hide your caller ID: Go to: Menu > Tools > Settings > Call > Send My
Caller ID > 'Yes', 'No' or 'Set By Network' to follow the default settings of your home network.
If you often copy large files to your MultiMedia Card, I recommend a card reader.
E.g. With a card reader it takes only 12 seconds to copy a 10 MB file!
Record the sound of a phone call using the (sound) Recorder.
Menu > Extra's > Recorder > Options > Record sound clip.
Note: short beeps are audible during call registration.
But there is a 60 second limitation so if you want unlimited sound recording get this app: Extended Recorder.
While writing text, press "#" to switch between upper and lower case and Dictonary on/off (predictive text input).
Press and hold "#" to switch between Alpha mode and Number mode.
Keyboard shortcuts for zooming and rotating images in Images:
1 = zoom in, 0 = zoom out, press and hold to return to the normal view.
2 = rotate anticlockwise, 9 = rotate clockwise, * = full screen.
In standby mode, press and hold the right soft key to activate voice dialling.
To add a voice tag to a phone number, open a contact card and scroll to the phone number and select:
Options > Add voice tag.
You can customize both soft keys located below the screen (in standby mode):
Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Standby mode > Left/Right selection key > "select an application".
In standby mode. press scroll key center (joystick) to go directly to Contacts.
In standby mode, press and hold 0 to launch your wap home page.
In Menu or any subfolder, press numbers 1 - 9 to start the application at that location.
123
456
789
In standby mode,
45# + dials the number on your sim in memory slot 45.
50# + dials slot 50 and so on.
If you have your keylock activated just press the on/off button to turn on your backlight
to look at the time when it's dark without having to unlock the keypad.
Never, ever, in your whole life, install WildSkinz on your Nokia 3650!!! WildSkinz screws up
the whole 3650 system. It was never intended to work on the 3650, only on the 7650.
Why assigning Video Recorder in the right or left soft key does not work?
Sound Recorder is launched instead of Video Recorder)
It's a bug with firmware version 2.50.
How to check your firmware version:
A "Firmware" is the phone's operating system stored in internal Flash memory of the device (disk Z.
Manufacturers release new firmware versions containing bug fixes, improvements and - sometimes - offering new functions.
Firmware upgrade can only be made in authorized Nokia service centre (point).
To check your current firmware version simply type *#0000# on main Phone screen.
How to check your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)?
Type *#06# on main Phone screen.
Start up in Safe Mode so no 'auto start' apps will be running:
To make sure that no memory-resident programs start when you reboot your phone,
hold down the pencil key when you turn on the phone and hold it on untill you have to enter your PIN code.
(When you have trouble booting up the phone with the MMC in it because it got corrupted for some reason, this trick will
almost always let you boot up the phone so you can remove the latest installed app which might have caused the
problem or if your phone is "unrepairable" you can still back up your important data before you do a format.)
Q: How to totally format your Nokia 3650 and remove all installed applications, user files and restore all
settings to default like it's new out of the box? (OEM apps won't be deleted like Camera and RealOne Player).
A: First Format your MMC: Menu > Extras > Memory > Options > Format mem. card > Yes.
Note: It is very important to format your MMC before you format your phone!
Then format your phone by typing *#7370# on main Phone screen.
Phone will ask: "Restore all original phone settings? Phone will restart." Press 'Yes' and enter your Lock code (default is 12345).
Tip: Formatting takes several minutes so you'd better connect your Nokia 3650
to a charger to ensure that your battery doesn't get empty in the middle of formatting.
Note: All your created acces points and mailboxes will be lost so take a note of them. And all application settings will be reset.
E.g. In Camera, image quality is set back to normal and memory in use is set back to phone memory. And also in Messages,
memory in use is set back to phone memory, etc. Also backup your contacts with PC Suite or a program like Contacts Manager.
To reset your wallet, should you forget your code,
Type in:
*#7370925538#
this will reset the wallet code, the wallet contents will be deleted.

Pictures of Bajaj Pulsar 200 Dtsi
Pictures of Bajaj Pulsar 200 Dtsi
Bajaj is ready to launch a 200cc version of Pulsar in Jan 2007. Unfortunately bikers waiting for Pulsar DTS FI 220 will have to wait longer probably till may 2007.
This beast is capable of pumping 18 BHP and has an oil cooled engine. This beast should cost just a notch up than the Pulsar180 and has performance Much better Than Hero Honda Karizma.
P-200 has most of the goodies from the bigger Pulsar. Tubeless tyres, the LCD speedo/analog tacho dash, split seats, two-piece grab rails, looks stunning just like its big brother the P220 DTSFI but without a FI (fuel injection).This is probably to keep the costs down.
Thanks to original the original up loaders of this images on XBHP and funenclave.
Pictures of Bajaj Pulsar 220 Dts Fi
After writing a post on the Bajaj Pulsar DTS FI 220, I was wondering how would Bajaj go about advertising the Bike.
Bajaj has been coming up with great ad campaigns so far.
1) Bajaj Kawasaki Caliber -"The unshakable"
This was an amazing ad in which the guy returns after few years (dont rem from where) and picks up a cute puppy on his way to meet his love, incidentally when he reaches her place he finds a small kid playing and then his sweet heart married to some one else. He smiles, hands over the puppy to the kid and leaves calmly on his Caliber.
Btw i am proud owner of a Bajaj Caliber.
2) Caliber 115 - Hoodibaba
The ad had this green bike zooming around tight turns and stuff and background score was like "Hoooddibababaaaa". Was quite fun, although the bike didn't do well
3) Pulsar - "Definately Male"
This was again one of the best. 2 Nurses having a look at the new born and shouting "its a boy". And quite a few others emphasising on the masculinity of the bike.
4) The DTSI pulsar was again a simple an effective add.
5) Bajaj Avenger - "Feel like god"
The best so far. Emphasising about the feel the bike offers its rider.
This was the bike that truely brought cruisers to india.
people also say its a poor man's Harley, tough i beg to differ.
So the point is Bajaj has always had ads focused on the bikes, so the real celebrity in the ads have always been the bikes, instead of getting some one like Sorav ganguly (gr8 i still remember him), dravid, sachin, john abrahim.
Second and most important is keeping the chicks out of it. I mean say tvs Apache for eg. Do we really need an Apache to woo a girl? I mean a bike is a bike, why get scantily clad females in the ad, or try to convey something like "If you want to be Casanova you got to get this bike".
Every one from cars to soaps to undergarments some how manage to drag females in their advertising and sell the oomph.
So having said all that i am sure that bajaj will come with a killer ad for DTS FI and keeping up withe tradition i am sure the bike will have center stage instead of celebs or women.
BTW no matter how good the ad is, the bike is on my wish list and i am gonna get it ASAP.
Stay tuned for my first hand experience on that.
A lot has been already said about this much awaited bike from bajaj. Pulsar 220 DTS FI launch has been delayed due to some unknown reasons, but i am sure Bajaj is taking its for refining the product.
Pulsar 220 DTS FI has many 1st in India and 1st in world to its name.
Following are few of them:-
First 4-stroke engine in the world employing DTS-Fi (Fuel Injection) technology
First natural air-cooled 4-stroke engine in India employing a oil cooler

MyToday is an India-centric mobile internet portal. Our vision with MyToday is to bring the richness of the Internet to mobiles for users in emerging markets for whom the mobile is likely to be the primary ( and for many, the only) - device to access the Internet. Over time, we will also make available publishing tools to build out the mobile Internet.
One of the key ideas for MyToday is content "publish-subscribe". Publishing enables the creation of new, incremental content. Subscriptions enables setting up relationships with such content. At the same time, we will make available a wide variety of information that already exists - through of mix of creation, collection, and simplifying existing Internet content. This will provide a more complete experience for mobile users.
We believe that the Internet and mobile will play a complementary role - the small screens of the mobile offset by the portability of the mobile phone. India can be the role model for other emerging markets in creating a digital infrastructure which brings information access to hundreds of millions.
