(The above official Nokia specs frm Nokia.com)

First Impression
Wow! Its beautiful and um... heavy, yeah dis is one hell of a fone in the looks department coz wherever I use dis fone all eyes turn to me(or actually my mobile) and bout the weight its surely a mans fone coz its real heavy at 135gm(I feel like holding something actually worth 40k)THis fone is all bout exclusivity and its done its job quite well till now, I've never seen neone else carryin it till now.

Camera
Nothing grr8 in dis department, its just got a .5mp camera tht takes about ok pics, well to be frank it sucks but after all this wasn't supposed to be a multimedia fone after all. I've included some pics I've taken with it. Vid recording is gud, limited by memory I cant include a vid becoz my internet is damn slow. It has a 4x digi zoom which is pretty useless coz the pic gets completely spoiled if taken in full zoom

Marks: 5/10

Display
Now this is where it scores, its has a crystal clear 18bit screen which is coated with sapphire glass so that there are no scratches and I havent got one till now.Colors are vivid and the contrast is very high,the resolution is gud at 208 x 208. Both contrast and brightness can be adjusted.Even in sunlight the screen performs well and its very readble.When I'm watchin videos on it(or showin dem 2 my frens) seems that its a minature TV, it performs very well.But I do Feel that its a bit small at times, thats bout its only con

Marks:8.5/10

Design And Build Quality
It has a superb sliding design(everyone tries to slide it down at first and then finally resolves to slide it up) and its a nokia 80 series which are supposed to stylish fones.Its a "all eyes on me" fone in short.Its probably the most stylish nokia I've ever seen.The steel panels make it look extremely sexy, it does tend to get fingerprints but they are not quite visible unless u look closely.ANd when I keep it in the cradle tht came with it looks simply outta dis world, I'll try and include a pic of it.It got a gud Nokia standard build quality,it didn't get a single scratch when I dropped it too(hey It was by mistake)the body is very sturdy and strong and when I say no scratch I mean no scratch

Marks:9/10(well 9 coz I suppose if they brought a samsung or motorola designer a better design cud be wrked out)

Keypad
Well the keypad layout is nice but the keys at the bottom some times get irritating to press and the four way directional pad is also a bit small. And it does take some time to get us e to the keypad.To be frank I didn'yt like the keypad.

Marks:6/10

Multimedia
The sound is nice with 64 polyfony which is loud and clear, it supports mp3 which play quite well but i can hardly put in 6-7 songs becoz of the limited memory.Radio is present though I've never used it coz its not available here.3gp videos are supported which seem gud.Nothin grr8 here but its not a multimedia fone after all(how many times have I said Tht?)

Marks:7/10

Connectivity
Its got many connectivity options
*EDGe:Though dis feature is present and I have a hutch sim but still this service not availble in my area so haven't tested it.
*Bluetooth:Its bluetooth connectivity is gud I use it send files to fro from it and i tested a bluetooth headset too which worked fine but didn't get a headset of my own coz if I don't flaunt dis fone wht shud I do wit it.
*GPRS:Well it wrks fine ,nice speeds.
*Modem:Frankly I've never used dis feature though it is available
*INfrared and Usb absent

Marks:8/10

Pros
*18bit, high resolution screen.
*Gud design and build quality
*Exclusiveness

Cons
*Low Multimedia features
*Expensive
*Keypad has small keys
*A bad camera

MY opinion
This is a flaunt fone meant for celebrities and those who seek style, elegance and exclusiveness.
I wudn't recommend this fone to sumone who wants a feature packed fone, otherwise if have the moolah it has the style and just enuf features to impress.

How to know when sumone is lying?

noreply@blogger.com (CooLCRooK) — Fri, 19 Aug 2005 15:48:00 +0530

How to know when sumone is lying?
1.If he holds the skin on his neck and says "Kasam Se"-->He's Lying
2.If he seems to rehearsed and formal instead of his normal casual attitude-->He's Lying
3.If he goes red all over(isn't it obvious)-->He's Lying
4.If he smiles too much or is too gloomy while speakin-->He's Lying
5.If he overreact's or gets hyperactive on an accusation-->He's Lying
6.If he tries too look away from you when he's speakin-->He's Lying(xcept in xceptional cases when there's no other way)
7.If he says he can prove it and says he's busy whenever u ask him too prove it-->He's Lying
8.If he is ready to pick a fight neone who doesn't believe him-->He's Lying

And I say he here becoz lyin doesnt apply to the females
Becoz they mostly don't know what they are sayin they just blabber what they heard from sumwhere else, they make modifications to the rumours and spread it.

Three fastest ways to spread something-->
1.tel-e-vision
2.tel-e-phone
3.tell-a-woman
(read this sumwhere forgot where)

No offence meant to anyone.
Plz dont take it seriously.

Get Your Ipod Back To Working Condition

noreply@blogger.com (CooLCRooK) — Wed, 17 Aug 2005 20:01:00 +0530

How To Get Your Ipod Back In Working Condition-->
Well my Ipod had crashed and I was really tensed and tried lots of stuff get it back working.There was of course help on the Apple site but it was not satisfactory.Well lets get to the real thing.

My Ipod stopped working becoz I ignored the do not disconnect sign and took out the cable frm my pc.
When sumthin like it happens to ur Ipod and it shows a folder icon with an exclamation mark or shows a ipod with a sad face try the following steps-->
1. Reset the Ipod, do this is easy-->switch hold off and then back on and then press the select and menu buttons together for 6secs(If it starts wrkin on this step dont continue)
2. Charge your ipod and try restoring it withe latest ipod updater after putting it in disk mode(All your songs and data will be lost)
3. If it doesnt work totally discharge the battery of the ipod.(Do this by putting it in disk mode and leaving it for 15-20hrs)
4. Then connect it to a high speed usb port(remember the ipod's battery must be totally discharged)
5. It will not be recognized at all for a while but after it charged to a viable level it will be reconized.
6. Let it charge for an hour or so because according to the manual if the battery is not charged the usb cable wrks at lower speeds as it automatically goes to battery saving mode and letting it charge 4 a while is recommended.
7. Then go to my computer and format the removable disk which is ur ipod, at the end of the format it will say cannot be formatted,its ok.
8. Then open updater and restore ur ipod after putting it in disk mode(All your songs and data will be lost)
9. Your Ipod will be back to normal(at least mine was)
10.On ur pc uninstall all ipod related software.
11.Put in ur ipod cd and install evrything all over again,ur ipod will be totally back to its factory settings.(you have to put all ur songs in ur ipod again)
12.If u have any updated versions of ne ipod related s/w install them now.(only after installing the s/w tht came with ur ipod)
13.If this didn't work the go to Apple Support site for Servicing or u can always google for more help.

HAPPY IPODDING!!!!!!!

My Ipod Photo 30gb is not working.I dont know what happened but it just keeps on resetting and showing a folder icon with an exclamation mark.I tried all the troubleshooting tips on the apple support site but to no avail as my ipod's condition remains the same.I have reset it,I have tried discharging it,I have restored it with the ipod updater,set it to disk mode and what not.
Well now my problem is that I bought this one from the grey market,thus it has no warranty cover where in India can I get it repaired or does neone know any other method to bring it back to its original state.
I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY IPOD.

Independence Day

noreply@blogger.com (CooLCRooK) — Mon, 15 Aug 2005 07:22:00 +0530

Today is the 15th of August.The Independence Day of India.
It is the day on which India got freedom from the clutches of the British.Many freedom fighters dedicated their lives to give India the freedom that it has today.Today we are celebrating our Independence full-flegedly.Its obviously a national holiday.Here in my hometown we are gonna have a grand celebration, all the schools here are gonna present march past and band displays, the best will recieve prizes and then we will have football tournament finals.People from all over India come to Kalimpong on Independence as it is believed that after New Delhi, Kalimpong has the best Independence Day celebration.
The Prime Minister is giving his speech as I type but he doesn't even seem to know what he's speaking, he's just speaking what he's been told to speak and he hardly means it.

I liked a dialouge from a movie which said-

I do not believe that India is a great country but I believe that we Indians have the ability to make India a great country.
