@ umerhayat
Yes at every place, every city (where telenor service is working)
because of (MobileTV).
Posted by Nyb
@meero: where did you get this information from? i haven't noticed any such thing while using my telenor account in lahore.. also mobile tv has nothing to do with edge as it isn't an edge exclusive service but instead works on gprs.. the presence of edge in certain places merely improves its performance.

@ Nyb
So strange dear, im living in vehari near multan, yesterday i put my telenor sim in my mobile and the logo of "EDGE" "e" was appear on my mobile, then i surf on net a while and check my mails.. and it works fantastic and fast..
so strange that in small city like vehari the service edge is on and in big city like lahore edge is availabe but only on limited locations like the mall, liberty and etc i think in that area's..
and second i think edge is very essential for mobile tv coz heavy data has to be transfered and it definitely needs speed to transfer.. and edge is the solution.
am i right?

hi.i am using cracked rok tv on p910 with warid gprs.it works ok on warid with gprs.soon i insert the telenor sim in my w810 and see if edge present here or not

it is really a great news.
i also belongs to vehari (Garha Moor) but lives in Islamabad.
but telenot doesnot give EDGE where its service is. becuase even a tower just a few meter away from my house doesnot have EDGE enabled.
but may be in near future we will have country wide EDGE.
Posted by meero
@ umerhayat
yes sure, give it a try and check it..
@ shuak
thats realy nice dear.
No edge in isb. too.. very strange, then why in vehari? maybe they get to know that im living here.. hehe

even if telenor provides edge in whole pakistan in near future.it is of no use for me and other heavy gprs users until it provides some gprs unlimited usage package

only Indigenous mobile operator is Ufone which is a private company of the Pakistan telecom
Posted by meero
hmm. maybe its no use for dear, but for me its very useful..

@meero
i didnot said that Islamabad doesnot have EDGE it has EDGE but in some parts of the city Telenor has lots of BTS even my area is covered with EDGE but one tower doesnot have EDGE enabled.
may be it is good for light user like u (if iam correct) but it is not for heavy user like me.
@umerhayat
absoultly correct.

you can always use mobilink edge, they have unlimited GPRS package.
Posted by shuak
ah dont take name of this shity company. i just cant find the right words to show my hate and anger for this company,
i have used Indigo GPRS for three months so first of all it only has EDGE service in some really small areas, only in Marriot and F-10 so i am not that rich to live in these area.
i even tried to use EDGE in this area but whenever my fone shows that iam connected with EDGE tower my download stops and i was unable to brows and when i connected to GPRS tower every thing goes back to normal. and when i ask about this problem from their representative they said "Yes, there is a problem in the Network and our enginears are working" and 3months had been past, same problem like day one.

i dont know from where u guys are getting news that telenor has started EDGE all over the country, even there website doesnot show that, Telenor has only given EDGE in some cities not all over country.
Posted by srmz
And just like Telenor, Mobilink also has only a few places in Lahore and Islamabad covered with the EDGE network. Just hope the situation will improve over time.
Anyone any news if Warid and Ufone also plan to introduce the EDGE or a higher network.
Take care and have a nice day
Posted by solja786
anyone kno the new warid rates...are they 30 second or one minute
Posted by QVGA

Posted by umerhayat
@srmz.its already mentioned that warid also has edge coverage at many places in lhr.but they did not announced it officially.its testing service i think.@solja786,new warid rates are for 30sec and apply only when you take zem 30 sec billing

@korbindallis: where did you ask for the price of the screen protector? mobilezone? if so then is it a good quality one or just another chinese made one?
Posted by umerhayat
Screen protector = the paper like sticky thing people put on screen to protect from scratches???

Posted by umerhayat
Man.why you prefer the p990 on w950 or m600 , due to camera thingy or what
This message was posted from a W810i
Posted by korbindallis
I put one on the phone i had not checked if it was chinese lol
but its smooth and clear and they had a pro to do the job putting the darn thing on the phone casue thats a little tricky getting the screen protector on the screen with out bubbles forming.
check out if you can tell there is a screen protector on i cant tell

But in which city MZ are you talking about . I mean in lahore or what
This message was posted from a W810i
Posted by shuja91
Which do you guys prefer. MZ or United mobile?
Posted by umerhayat
Usually some sets are available with MZ and some with Untied.I mean,i have w550 with united warranty.because MZ did not had the w550.I have w810 with united warranty and w810 is not available with united

i dont think it matters whether its MZ or AT or UM
Posted by solja786
guyz..does anyone kno the price for n95
Posted by QVGA
its about 45000rs
Posted by umerhayat
@QVGA.Come on man.it matters.for example,if you call MZ helpline they always pick up and help you.united help line is not so good.if you loose a mz warranty card,they issue you duplicate card in 250 rupees.you loose united warranty card,your warranty gone

MZ is giving insurance facility,which i think is great.CHIMERA is giving replacement warranty.where as united is not offering such things at the moment

Posted by umerhayat
Hi.can any one tell me that where can i find original accessory for w series sets in lhr.some shop etc.i call MZ and they say we do not deal in accessory,this is bull s**it.i mean you sell sets and if we need accessory you do not have it
This message was posted from a W810i
Posted by QVGA
you'll rarely ever come across a shop which sells original accessories. the only one i saw were the external speakers for SE phones.
Posted by Nyb
sony ericsson has a helpline for customers in pakistan:+92 (21) 111 22 55 73
i think they might be able to help you find a shop in lahore that might sell original accessories even though the number is a karachi based one
Posted by umerhayat
@QVGA.yes man,but why is so.why original accessory is not available any where.@NYB.thanks man.i will try it
This message was posted from a W810i
Posted by QVGA
there is no demand for it, there're too expensive.
Posted by umerhayat
Hmmm.yes man.its expensive.but some times we want to buy it.my w550 is now more than 10 months old and its battery needs replacement.so i want to get the original battery.because only original gives good stand by and talk time
