Walkman phones are already huge hit worldwide and we have seen many models of Walkman phones in different category and price range. Till now, the Walkman models were placed in the higher segment with price > 10000/- Rs, although there was w300i in lesser range, but it was not a major hit. Sony Ericsson has introduced the new model to bridge the gap between these segments, the new W200i.

The model comes in two colors – Pulse White and Rhythm Black with dimensions of 101×44×18 mm and weighs 85 g. From the exterior, the phone looks good with average build quality. It has a Walkman button on the top left hand corner for playing music, like any other phone in the Walkman series. Below this is the slot for memory card, a 128 MB card is shipped along with the phone and those who need more memory, there is provision to accommodate cards upto 1 GB.

The screen has a resolution of 128×160 pixels and supports 65k colors, which is lesser than the other Walkman models. The keypad is good and offers good back light in the dark. One disappointing thing in this model is the Joystick, which is little bit on the harder side.

Other common features include;

* 1000 entry phone book with each entry having 5 options.
* SMS, MMS and Email features.
* PhotoDJ and MusicDJ for editing photos and music files.
* Sound Recorder.
* Organizer, Alarm clock and WAP.

The phone has an in-build camera, with resolution 640×480 pixels and 4x zoom feature (VGA cam), plus an ability to record small video clips (in 3gp with a resolution of up to 176×144 pixels). The camera is just average considering the fact that other Walkman series have 2MP cams. The quality is also average.

It also has an in-build media player similar to the ones available in other Walkman series. It also has a radio. Now coming to connectivity, there is no IR and Bluetooth available in this model. This is really surprising for the fact that many of the users now prefers to use bluetooth headsets. This is most crucial let down for this model

The package includes;

* Handset
* Li-Ion 750 mAh battery
* Charger
* User Guide
* CD with software
* M2 memory card (128 Mb)
* USB data cable
* Stereo-headset HPM-64

Verdict: Performance wise, this model is good and the only let down is the lack of Bluetooth module. Priced at Rs 7300/-, this is a good offering from Sony Ericsson to capture the lower end market. This model is definitely worth the money and also there is no competition to this model in this range, but purchase this only if you cant afford a better Walkman phone.

Rating: 3.5/5

NB: 1 USD= Rs 41/-

Everyone would love to access free airtel gprs and getting free airtel gprs is now made easy by teashark, a mobile internet browser which is also available as a free download just like opera mini. Whats most amazing is the fact that the working of this browser which enables it to provide free airtel gprs access without even changing any of the airtel gprs settings is still unknown. I have been trying to figure out how it works and will get back to you shortly with its working. Till then you guys enjoy surfing free airtel gprs.

To get this gem working, you first need to download this. The file can be easily downloaded from the following link: http://www.teashark.com/download.html. The downloaded file is an executable jar file which can be easily installed on any java enabled phone. The next thing you need to do to take you one step closer to free airtel gprs on your mobile phone is selecting the access point as airtel live from the teashark mobile browser. Once you are done with the above settings you are now ready to enjoy free access to airtel gprs. Don’t hesitate, just start browsing with the free teashark browser, you won’t be charged a single penny.

In this paragraph I will try to inform you about all the installation hurdles which may come in your way to free airtel gprs on your mobile phone. The first and the foremost thing you need to take care of is to ensure that you have got airtel live activated on your phone for which you have to call the customer care and it is free of cost. Only then you should select airtel live as the access point. Another problem which you may encounter is that your phone may show white screen, if it happens then restart your phone. If it continues to happen you should better reinstall teashark and click on the yes option in case your phone asks you to clear previous data or overwrite previous data. You can also try keeping the jar and the jad files in your phone as this solution has helped some people.

If you guys cannot get teashark working then the other way around to get free airtel gprs access is by downloading teashark from this link: http://mosh.nokia.mobi/content/422B3629768A1249E040050A453005BC. I guess this is another version of teashark which gets installed without any problem and you can access free airtel gprs. Another solution to the fuzz is that you can also try to upgrade the nokia phone’s software, just take it to the nokia centre and get the software reinstalled, its free too I guess. What actually happens is that this will change your default configuration settings, then request new settings from airtel and try with the installation procedure of teashark again.

Teashark however allows you to browse free but it does not allow free downloads. You will be charged usually for the downloads as the downloads are done through the phone’s browser and not through teashark. In some cases getting it to work may take upto 2 days and more than 50 tries. Moral of the story is getting the free airtel gprs on your phone is not easy infact getting anything free is not easy at all, so don’t lose heart and keep trying until you succeed.

Resco Photo Viewer is designed especially for phones other than nokia N series for viewing photographs and editing them. The inbuilt photo viewer of nokia N series mobile phones is way better to be replaced by Resco Photo Viewer but the only advantage is gives is that its functionality is very fast as compared to the default built in picture viewer. in case you own E series phones or other phones then Resco Photo Viewer might prove to be a better option than the default picture viewer application.

Features of Resco Photo Viewer:
1. Resco Photo Viewer is astonishingly 8 times as fast as the default in built picture viewing application.
2. With Resco Photo Viewer you can view the images in the thumbnails of 14 and 44 along with a list view which definitely shows more information about the image.

3. You can also browse through your media gallery with the “display hidden files” option also so that you do not have to enable the hidden files separately.
4. Resco Photo Viewer also provides a huge number of keypad shortcuts which certainly will require a little time to learn.
5. The addon feature in Resco Photo Viewer is that you can directly jump to google maps from the geotagged information in the image options.
Resco Photo Viewer is a really tough application to find fault into so this application is highly recommended for atleast series E nokia phones. But you need to remember that Resco Photo Viewer is a photo viewer only and it won’t provide viewing options for video files.

Supported phones: nokia S60 and S60 3rd edition phones.

Anyone may have to transfer the contacts from one phone to another phone, if your old phone is malfunctioning or in a case when you may want to change the mobile phone model.

Latter is the case is with me as I want to change my mobile phone from Nokia 6600 to Nokia 5310. So ,now for transferring the contacts from nokia 6600 to nokia 5310 I searched almost every method and software but, still none of the software work for me as both of the above phones have a different base operating system.

But finally I had to use one the worst ways out for transferring contacts i.e using a sim card for storing the contacts.

A normal sim card can hold around 250 contacts so depending on the number of contacts you may need one or two sim card.

In order to transfer the contacts follow the process below 

1. Go to your phone contacts and copy all the contacts to sim card.

2. If your contacts are greater than the memory size of the sim card ,first check upto which contact it got transferred to sim card

3. now insert the sim card in the new s40 phone and copy all the contacts from sim card to phone memory.

4. Repeat the steps until you are able to transfer all the contacts.

5. I know this process is really cumbersome but unfortunately this is the only way out.
