Hey Prashant,
Thanks for clarifying my earlier doubt on the file size of the resized divX movies.
1. If I am not mistaken the phone comes with 2gb card in which the GPS software is loaded. I read in a lot of online phone review sites that the GPS software takes up most of the 2 gb space and that if we want to use the phone for storing data (music/movies) we need to get another card which we need to swap each time. Is this true or can the same card hold everything ?
2. Almost all the sites have said that the phone is sluggish and becomes slow to use . Is this true and if so to what extent ?
3. Do we have to pay for the maps in future ?
4. Can I manage with google maps itself ? I read earlier that the maps need to be updated every 3 days online. What happens if I dont do so ?

Basically, settings for all Indian providers are already installed on phones being sold here. All you need to do is go to Start -> Settings -> Connections tab -> Network Setting and select your provider in the dropdown list after enabling the checkbox.

I use pretty high settings for a good quality picture, and the file size is about half that of the original 640x480 sized movie. As for the screen size, 320x240 is reasonably big to enjoy a movie on the way, and also doesn't consume a whole lot of battery.

If this is the case with your college as well, then go to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections, and click the "Set up my proxy server" link on the Tasks tab. Ideally, you should already be connected to your college WiFi network when you try this.

Simply go to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Network Setting, and select AIRTEL from the dropdown list after enabling the checkbox. If that doesn't work for some reason, give Airtel a call, and they can send you the settings remotely.

There you should see all the detected WiFi networks in the list on the Wireless tab, which should include your D-Link Router too. Click on it, and it takes you through the Settings screens. Fill the 1st and 3rd screens as applicable, and enter your authentication type & password details in the 2nd one. Click Finish and you'll be back at the Wi-Fi settings. Click the Connect soft-key, and that should do it!
Don't really know anything about Lotus Notes - just as any other software, you'll have to check if they have a WinMo version, and if they do, then you can simply go ahead and install it.

The phone has a pretty good battery life, and the phone won't be vibrating for long durations for most people anyways. I'll try and call you up tomorrow - just got a little held up today.
