Watch IPL 2010 matches on your mobile

The IPL 2010 season is about to kick off in a few hours from now. While you can always watch the matches in the Stadium or on your Television, most of us have jobs and other responsibilities . So a good alternative would be to catch the IPL on Youtube or on your mobile phone.

MiMobi is the official live mobile video streaming partner for IPL and they support almost every operator in the country. But the charges are approx Rs.10 per day to Rs.50 per week appox. Since only BSNL offers 3G speeds, the video quality would surely be better on a BSNL 3G connection than the rest. Continue reading “Watch IPL 2010 matches on your mobile”

It is much more than a number to us – it’s like an identity for many of us. And MNP which was like dream come true . It was going to offer us a chance to retain that identity and move to another operator  without fear of loosing touch with your loved ones or key business contacts.

Nokia E72 Review Part 1 – Hardware

Roughly a Week ago I was offered to trial a Nokia E72 by my good Friends of WOM World Nokia. Already having experienced the Awesomeness that was the Nokia E71, i was very eager to get my Hands its Successor. Filled in the Trial Form, sent it back to WOM World and here we go, the Adventure that is the E72 begins:

I received the Box on late Friday afternoon and went to work with it on Saturday Morning. After i first took the Device in my Hands i’ve decided to come up with a few Words to the Person who trialed the E72 before me: You’re in a very elite Group, Pal. You have the Privilege to get your Hands on one of Nokia’s latest Devices. The Handset came in a Condition that some of my 2 year old Phones not even look like. The Screen is scratched, some Corners look like they’re losing small Chips of Chrome the hard way. So in my Opinion the Device has been dropped and not at all been taken care of. If you don’t know how to treat a Test Device, you better leave them to People who do. Seriously, you don’t deserve it. Not cool.
