    raj, 17 Jan 2011hi vamsi, Can v office application on this phone?Hi Raj, I never used my mobile to check office (like word, PDF). But this phone does not have office preinstalled. You can use it through third party app (you should get through Android market\google) but it might run slow on this phone.

      I did charge my mobile at around 9AM IST(17th) (@ battery charge level 20%) for 30min with USBand used for messaging, phone calls (no internet usage) till 1:00PM IST (17th), charged again for abt 20 min and played game (angry birds) for 30 -40min and used Internet through browser for some time (to book tickets) and followed by phone calls, messaging (total calls of 2 to 2 1/2 hrs talktime and 40messages), gallery, watched a video and some music. After all this right now @ 1:15AM IST (18th) the battery level is at 60%........

      Hope I answered your query...

People having issues copying (Syncing) contacts from Outlook to this phone (who are using Kies V1.5) should use latest version as there is some issue with Kies V1.5 software itself.

                          It’s been 4 days now, I am enjoying this phone so far. Battery back-up is gud (runs more than 24hrs) with games, messaging, little web usage and many calls (no count). I have seen many comments that battery back-up is not gud but I felt it was ok not bad for this kind of mobile (with multimedia and graphics), people who have used to Nokia earlier might feel the difference (also battery should be fully charged before first usage). Coming to Music it is superb no doubt you all will like it...seeing the earphones you might feel its of cheaper quality (very light weight) but quality is very gud. Otherwise you can use you own preferred headphones (I am using Philips SHS390). This has got many equalizer options to set (Rock,pop,Bass enhancement, Music clarity, Classic...etc). One more point this does not have the live wallpaper option, not sure if we can install them (tried to google it but did not find any). Screen clarity is gud…..and camera is gud for a 3.2 megapix with many options to choose. Last and most important thing, people who wanted to use Maps, gtalk, Navigation etc…and using Vodafone as your carrier then you should be using Vodafone mobile connect(should opt for a data plan), these all will not work with Vodafone Live except for Internet browsing from mobile browser.

                          I am sure it would help people who are still confused to purchase this mobile.
