Well I guess I possibly cannot make an unbiased appraisal about myself as thats for my acquantances to decide. I try to be affable and social in nature. I like counselling people and have often served as an agony uncle to my friends passing through a bad phase in life. I love books, music and the outdoor life (namely trekking) I also love tinkering with gizmos and computers and try to keep tabs of what's happening in the worlds of science, technology and current affairs.

Thats all fine and dandy, but I still can't post a review on the Nook Color
Commented on kumargautam1983's review
LG will be releasing an updated version of this mobile with 1720 maH battery instead of the current 1500 maH one. That should significantly improve battery life. just hope the new battery will fit the old black handset, then your battery problems will be gone
Commented on vijay_nicpn's review
well if you have trouble with the keypad, install swype or swiftkey. They're great for one handed typing. The battery life of my P500 is great even after 9 months of usage. get a replacement, as the original one mustve got damaged. the fast moving screen means your phones CPU is snappy, practise a b read more...

I've been using this phone for the last 9 months, and quite honestly I've not faced any of the issues you mention.

Hmmm it's been 10 years since I wrote this, commented by the CEO himself too :) a decade later, Mr. rohitk seems to differ with our opinions and thinks I'm a paid shill for Samsung. How unfortunate!
It's been 5 years since I write that review. and the Laptop still performs well, though I overwrote the original XP with Ubuntu 10.04. Just hope Lenovo continues with IBM's impressive build quality traditions
I'm using this ancient laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 now. still runs liek a dream, though sometimes I'm getting a fan error. well guess I'll have to service teh heatsink myself.

Google and it's rarified atmosphere Companies like Google, and Oracle (where I work) considers India nothing more than a cheap destination for off shoring bum jobs (ADwords reps in google’s case) In most cases the ratio is usually like 10 heads for the price of one in their home soil.

I think that DRDO instead of carrying out core R&D activities itself, should stick to appraising defence technology from 3rd party vendors.

Firefox has the same features and it was released atleast 3 years before My IE did. AND it open-source and can be installed on any platform.
I'm flattered you found my review amusing and comprehended my anguish.

Try looking at their side profiles, they are identical. From my experi read more...
