thanks budddy..for ur instant reply.u seem to be the most active member on this forum!
r u the Problem SOLVER for every one!

well in refrence to the querries posted earlier ..The Blue light...i dont tkink so that its a GPRS indicator coz wen u exit from ur browser u can also see a globe just next to the signal power which vanishes within a second or two and this light is still there even if u switch ur cp off nd then back on ...also wat r these 4 cascading squares just next to the same thing..i think its somwat related to profiles or may be vibrator indicator ..plz clarify

          No,

          the whole point of infrared (IR) is that you don't need cables (but you need an IR port on the PC). It is the same technology as in remote controls for video, tv etc.

          That's why some people actually use this technology in their mobile phones to control their TV/dvd etc (this is done by downloading programs for this via internet - I do not recommend this and will not give download sites for this - this you can search for yourself - however it's possible).

              Hi all... mr unknown (who asked abt a gud phone of cost abt 6500), i wud recommend K300i.. coz its the best thr is in its range... if u want 2 buy a new one then wait for a month or so then its price will be about 6500... but if u r in a hurry then go for a good second hand K300i.. it will cost u abt 6500-6700... nd ensure tht the set is OK nd it has got warrenty of Mobile Zone coz all other warrenty mobiles are not working very good.. nd its the best thr is .. so don't worry and just go for it..

                Riyan,

                it depends on your own perspective! If you are used to black/white TV it is OK. But if you are used to colour TV, black/white TV it is not acceptable. If you are used to DVD quality, video quality might be unacceptable. The same thing goes for displays. What phone have you been using up till now, and how would you rate it?

                K300 has better display quality than T610 but worse than K500, K700, K750. It all depends on what you are used to.

                    Prashant Bhutani,

                    1) blue light above the signal power is indication of GPRS in use
                    2) download modem software at sonyericsson website. Read my other posts below for exact address.
                    3) it is a matter of opinion. Try it yourself and see.
                    4) cable 2 be used is DCU 11. Check out websites/shops for prices

                          RKXJ,

                          1) Unfortunately I do not live where you do and have no idea about the market; prices and currencies where you live. It is better if you compare specifications of different phones in the price range you are thinking of. You can also check sites like this and see what is said on the forums for each of the phones. Lastly I recommend seeing the phones live before buying.

                          2) What do you mean by screen - the actual plastic on top of the display? It is very scratch resistent; actually one of the most scratch resistent screens I have tested on any phone. By this I don't mean that one should drag the phone on the floor etc, but I always have the phone in the same pocket as my (sharp) keys and this usually wears out the phone. My K300 still shows no wear on the screen after more than 6 months!

                                  Yes,

                                  it's much better than the one in T230 - the K300 was launched 2 years after T230...

                                  It's a good display for a CSTN display. However, practically any TFT display is better - it's a matter of price. If you can - look at the displays of K750 (TFT), K700(TFT), K500 (TFT) and K300 (CSTN) in a shop and check out for yourself. What are you prepared to pay for?

                                      Riyan,

                                      T230 has a screen with 4096 colours (STN) and has the resolution of 101x80 pixels.

                                      K300 has a screen with 65k colours (STN) and has the resolution of 128x128 pixels.

                                      If you are used to TFT technology (as in T630) you will probably be disappointed. Then you should aim for K500 instead. This display is an improved version of the one in T610, though a little smaller.
