so iis it a capacitive or resistive touch screen and what os Android or just their own Jawa platform

Hey dude...i think galaxy S is better...i am havin 1...its awesome..u can choose between Desire nd Galaxy...milestone is bit old nd u know abt motorola's market condition in India...so if u want a camera with flash nd ready for not havin a video call with wi fi in ur phone then go for Desire but b ready to suffer abt the battery part of it...nd if u want a Super AMOLED display nd 16 GB of storage but with flash(v all don't use camera much in totally dark places nd even if taken with it,it is pretty decent)....nd battery stays for abt 12-14 hrs with medium usage of wi fi nd gamin....so i feel u should go for Galaxy S....nd Droid X will take more time as the milestone has been launched hardly 2-3 months back..

It is a new software called BREW. AFAIK it has got a resistive touchscreen.

Did u try *#7370# ? But back up any important data before doing so.

@rockrz
which phone are you using?

I have read about a few launches by nokia here Techno Gadgets: Nokia

I guess he has the Nokia 5230

Great!
The Nokia 5230 runs on Symbian OS 9.4 i.e s60v5.
Steps to hard format the phone>
1>Format the memory card, using the filemanager(look in office or tools folder)
note that you can surely take a backup of your media files(strictly media files, system files should not be included in the backup)

2>Now switch off the device.

3>Now PRESS AND HOLD-
green button+red button+camera key and switch on the phone using the power on button located at the top.
Note>do not leave those 3 buttons while switching on, you have to keep them pressed all the way long.

If you did that successfully then the country selection screen will appear and now you have the phone like new(software wise only).


Regarding automatic installation of softwares there is an app called "AutoSisInstaller" but i guess it requires your phone to be hacked, to hack your phone(hacking allows to run unsigned code on your phone) head over to google and search for "nokia 5230 hack ipmart helloOX tutorial".

NOTE: THIS IS A GENERALIZED PROCEDURE FOR ALMOST ALL OF THE S60V5 DEVICES.

By the way your phone connecting to the internet again and again automatically could be because of>

*email client running in the background.

*some phone tracking app periodically updating phone's location on the internet(eg. Periodic Phonelocator).

Further queries accepted with full delight.

this is the speed im getting for the MTNL 3G Data Card... good? bad? wat?



and how do I know its on a 3G network? sometimes its shows UMTS, sometimes HSDPA..help?

guys am looking for a mobile under 20k(budget is flexible if anything worth for it)..earlier i was about to buy Samsung wave but it got discontinued & now am not liking 3.7" super clear LCD screen of waveII
main things i am looking for r
- good camera with HD recording(30fps or 25fps won't make much difference)
- camera must have a good flash..xenon is preferable but a good LED will also do my job.
- all connectivity features like Wi-Fi, 3G, bluetooth 3.0 & all, which i think is present in almost all handsets of that range.
- I wanted SuperAMOLED but now i think i'll have to settle for AMOLED screen.
- preferable OS is Android..if not then any other OS with good app support.

As of now I am thinking of buying Nokia N8 but its screen isn't as good as earlier wave n also i don't know how good Nokia's new symbian is though am really impressed from its cam..also i haven't seen new wave in flesh so am still keeping it as an option..suggest me among or apart from these handsets near by my budget..

@111diablo111
Samsung Focus !!
you'd get the awesome SuperAMOLED screen and all other features you've mentioned. (bluetooth 2.1 though)
Its not android, but the promising Windows Phone 7. It might have a couple of bugs as the OS is new but would be fixed with an update.

seems like a nice phone..how much does it cost in India??

my bad. seems it hasn't been launched in india yet. although i saw in some site that it has been launched in early november but it din mention the cost. In US it costs 200$ but with a 2 year connection. So its expected to cost around 500$.
25k

What Mobile ?

A complete noob in mobiles (I still love my dead Nokia 1108 Had short flings with a motorazr and motorokr but again bought a 1200 !!)

Now, because of a new job where i won't be having access to the net i will need to upgrade to a new phone.

Requirements
1. Doc/pdf/xls viewing capability atleast.
2. Push email (like in bb) - Would like to configure a few accounts.
3. a big screen (accessing fb on mobile seems like a pain on those small screens)
4. IM capability (which corresponds to an easy to type interface)
5. Battery life.

Would like to have:
1. GPS capability -- But i wonder whether it can be a substitute for a navigator.

Things that don't matter
1. Quality of music player.
2. Quality of Cam.

I am not particularly for or against touch phones and have zilch idea about pros and cons of an android over a symbian. Nor do i see myself downloading too many apps etc.

Budget: Upto 15k. Might stretch if its worth it.

I was suggested the Nokia E5. Do let me know any other phone which fits the bill. No motorola though (have suffered because of two of their phones :P)

A Seperate Query::
Currently, i can source a phone from the US. However, no idea how to get it from there and how the whole jailbreak/unlock thing works. As far as i know, US phones are contract bound, so can one just bring here without any issues?

Samsung wave is a great phone,especially the super amoled display which is best in business.and good hd video capture . At 17k its a great buy too. But yes its not available everywhere(not discontinued, i checked with a local dealer here and he said they will get new stocks on 11 dec) and wave2 is simply not worth the price.
i would choose n8 over wave any day. 12MP cam, usb on the go,hdmi,scratch proof body and screen,16gb storage,and a proper os. ( if u are going to buy n8 wait for a month, or buy only if its manufactured in december coz theres been issues with n8 powering, ( google 'n8 crash,or n8 dead'). and n8s amoled is not that bad BTW. AT 22k its the best camera phone till date.
