        Hey guys, any experience with word/excel/pdf documents? Is it able to read them at all? If yes, is there a size limit? Thanks in advance.

                Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970They're almost identical, even down to the dimensions. There really is little to choose from, just look at them both and see which has the features you're most likely to need/want.

Vertical gives you a standard vertical touchpad (as on normal phones) and horizontal gives you a qwerty keyboard. S'all in the review guys :)

                    Does it support Voice recording for a phone call? What't the maximum duration? Does it beep every few seconds like Nokia phones when call recording is in progress? Please let me know.

                            No stylus in the box but it's a brilliant handset, really good value for money.

                              Himanshu, 18 May 2009Any one using the phone can you tell me if this syncs with ... moreHi Himanshu,

                              The phone does sync with outlook. But there seems to be some limitations. For Recurring appointments, only the next appointment is shown. (e.g. if you have an appointment on every monday for the next 5 weeks, only the next monday's appointment will be shown) There seems to be some kinks, but will only figure out if they are defects or features after some extended use :)
                              2. The phone does come with a stylus, but only a dongle one. Does not fit into the phone. But i feel you dont need a stylus at all. I havent used it AT ALL. Its not even come out of the box yet :)

                                Hi all,
                                There seems to be no good review available at the moment, hence decided to put my views on this to paper... well... screen. :P
                                1. The phone comes with a "dongle" stylus. There is no place to fit it within the phone. It sort of hangs from a notch. But i personally havent even touched the stylus. The finger touch is pretty good. You need to get used to it a bit. A hint : Try using the finger tips, instead of the nails. It allows scrolling much easier, just like iPhone. My rating : 4*
                                2. The Camera is decent. No flash. Very limited photo-editing. My rating: 3*
                                3. The full Qwerty keyboard is just AWESOME! Very useful! Just turn the phone on its side! My rating: 5*
                                4. The accelerometer works, but slightly "moody". A little patience is required here. Rating: 3*
                                5. PC suite. NOT good. Very fixed. Cannot copy movies directly to the memory card, as far as I can see. (If somebody knows how to copy a movie/video bigger than 100MB directly to the mem card, please let me know). Rating: 2*
                                6. Battery. Decent. 1 and half / 2 days approx.
                                7 Cool feature. 3 "desktop"s, like linux machines. You can have diff widgets open on diff "desktops". Niiice! I have a Maggie Q walpaper... the first "desktop' has her face, and then you slide into the next desktop to see... more ;)
                                8. Price. Pune- Rs 9500 plus/minus Rs.100
                                Mumbai - Alfa - Rs 9250. Others should be around 9500.
                                Hope this helps!

                                    It's the ultimate phone if you are thinking about a touch screen.
