Ten days ago, my Nokia 6600 mobile got un serviceable beyond the `economical` repair. I used to access Internet through the Opera Mini Internet Browser.
Thanks to addiction to this website, I certainly needed a device at the earliest so as to access the Internet on move, mainly during my absence from my base.
I reached to a mobile shop at the sector 31D market, the shopkeeper was `Monu` , a very nice person who after listening to me, gave me a landline looking device from Aircel.
I said that I needed a Java based mobile set only. But he insisted to take that device to my home and myself check the utility of the set. I said that I would come back to him in two hours, but no assurance that I shall purchase it.
Myself being an avid experimenter , was so curious to explore the new Internet device free of cost... Lol.
The device is a Landline. But it has a Prepaid aircel SIM inside it. It also has a big touch screen of exceptional quality with a touch pen. It has an external antenna too. shall attach the photograph of it in the evening or night today.
The key pad are placed at a comfortable distance to each other as enough space is provided for placing the key pad. The Speaker phone is truly very very effective.... one of it`s kind.
Coming to the very special feature which is the big Touch screen. It can be even kept at comfortable angle just like a laptop...lol. The touch sensitivity and screen resolution is real good. wallpapers can be changed.You can have all the option on a single screen in graphical form like the Browser, Alarm, Profile, Contacts, aircel services, Messaging, Calls, Tools and setting.
It also has four shortcut icons of calls, message, Internet and the Pocket Internet site by the the right side of the screen.
The Internet access is at the EDGE based speed @ 236.8 kbps.... good enough to browse the MouthShut_Official.com site conveniently. It`s very convenient with using it`s own touch screen.
The set has a auto installation software when connected with provided Data cable. It just took few minutes for the first set up and got the short cut icon on the desktop.
The set has many options to customtakeoutize the internet access including setting my home page to the MouthShut_Official.com... lol.
The 3.5 inches colour touch screen with qwerty virtual touch pad key makes it very easy and interesting to send text as SMS or MMS. Just two fast clicks with touch pen and you have a virtual key pad.Doing SMS is a pure delight with this device.
It also has an effective Alarm with snooze function. In fact, it has almost all the goodies of a mobile and all goodies of a lanline with a HI Fi Touch screen.
I came back in flat one hour to the shop keeper saying I am taking the set right now. It was 9 PM, but he arranged a set by 10 PM and activated the Aircel account.
I paid Rs 3400 and got Rs 500 talk time, 300 SMS free and Internet free for 1 month.The call rate is 50paise per minute. Also I shall be getting Rs 150 TT for next 11 months and 300 accumulating SMSs each month for next 11 months. The Internet charges is same in roaming too.The validity for every thing is life time including the initial Rs 500 talk time.
The battery back up for it`s NiMH battery is amazing. I accessed Internet on it`s touch screen for continuous five hours, but one level of battery was still left.
Also, `un officially` I got 5 hours of Talk time free on any network all over India.
I am an satisfied customtakeouter as of now for last 10 days. If any update is there, I shall let you know for sure.
I promised for the update and here it is............ All embrassing indeed.
I was not able to Log in on my most favorite site.... MouthShut_Official.com..... Lol.
I was taken aback.
I could not bear it any more.
Straight I went to the sector 35C Chandigarh office of Aircel in a furious mood.
I was not entertained well by Mr Rakesh Bhardwaj. I was treated as if my problem was not genuine. He refered me to Ms Bhawna. She tried her best to help me out but at last she expressed her in ability to help me out. Already two hours over..... my patience was running out. On my threat to expose them, at last she agreed to call the technical expert Mr Jaswinder from Mohali office. I was little optimistic now.
But, Mr Jaswinder said, `` I can not help you out, it may be a software update problem``. I was unpleasanly surprised as the set was hardly 10 days old....Lol
As I was coming back to my hometown Ranchi. I have decided to hand over this item to my father as he does not need internet.
