Need some advice!
Indiatimes has been advertising P990 for 15K! Makes me slluurrppp
Was in a mobile shop yesterday, told me he had it for bout 18.5k. Asked why, said indiatimes is mostly dishing out "OLD"(?) models, while he has the newer one, with the later 'software'. Nagged him for a while bout the software thing, and that the f/w can be upgraded, but guy seemed firm bout it. Is it really so, or is he just trying to improve his margin? I dont know if a newer version of UIQ3/S9.1 has been added. Pl excuse my ignorance, i'm noob for ze P series 
Pl do advice- Indiatmes or Retail shop or Sonyworld?
TNX!

Hi doc
P990 at below 20k is a steal.i bought mine 9 months back for 35k.Indiatimes sells it for 16k...not sure.Theres no new newer version of software thats factory installed...anything new in software can be updated online.
I dont know about Indiatimes refurbishing old mobiles..do they??of is that guy bluffing??
When buying from non authorized dealer ,check that the phone is World generic 1 or 2 ...other versions are pain in the ass when updating...also beware of phones which are locked/branded...those also r a pain in the ass.
I would suggest u to get it from Sonyworld or any authorised dealers as having a warranty is safe IMO.U r assured that it is updatable and not locked/branded or refurbished(many are available...after users who didnt like it due to software problems and sold it a week after using).
Posted by Ayush
indiatimes is not an authorised dealer then? p9 for 16!! i'll take it!
@doc what do u suggest? whats the market price for p9?
Posted by dr_thug
Market price for P990 would be 18-19k officially.
Btw,W910,W960 and K850 will be announced soon....AH...can't wait any longer.

Gooooooooood TGIF Morning ! 6:04 am !
Posted by drgopoos
F1 in delhi, it cost china 300 million USD to set it up
in delhi they have to find 600 acres of land for the project and the news said that they need just 1/3rd of what china spent... what do they think... they are going to spent 10 times what china spent and still reach no where....
Posted by *Jojo*
@dr - I hope that one will be set-up at your end mate . . . the many the VENUE of races . . . the BETTER !
!
9:30 am !
Posted by govigov
morning all... why did they have to put it in delhi such a stupid place to host F1.... why not hyd/bgl/mum... they all loook better to me.....
and more accessible... bgl wud have been best...
Posted by *Jojo*
@govi - I want it to be placed on the city where it RAINs most . . so that the cars and drivers will be TESTED to the fullest . . .
!
Posted by shyam335
Then come down here
It will rival malaysia for humidity,rain and temperature..
Bring it on
I read somewhere their intention to charge 10k per ticket..
Posted by sanjcher
10k??? thats ~$200 USD, lol i will get cheap grandstand tickets for either cdn or the usa grand prix for that price.
actually imo the f1 should have been in some small city, not the big metros. less crowd, more space!!!! someone pick a nice place right in the middle of india

Whoa ! Are you nuts ?!? I know u are but just felt like asking
Considering the absolutely pathetic infrastructure that bangalore has, it is THE WORST place to host an F1 race. The traffic would become 10 fold, as it is, it moves at a snail's pace !
Anyways guys, I have a doubt, My HDD is a Seagate 80 GB SATA HDD and my mobo is Asus A8N-E with nForce 4 Ultra chipset.. If you see the screenshot below, my HDD is being detected as an external device.. is this normal or what ??
[ This Message was edited by: k4m!k4ze on 2007-06-15 16:41 ]
Posted by shyam335
wow,thats something weird. Comes handy tho
Does BIOS detect the hdd without problems?
I find no reason to use safari,its extremely buggy as of now..
Posted by k4m!k4ze
yeah BIOS detects it perfectly that it's a 80 GB SATA II HDD.. Donno why this is happening in Windows
How can it come in handy ? I cant do anything like removing it or something, doesnt allow me to.. Is there a solution to this ? will this create any performance degradation ??
Posted by blu_6779
windows treats mine drives as cd drives
Posted by shyam335
blu,lol ,so much partitions ?
k4,In hdd properties,see if write caching is enabled..
and see what does 'Msinfo32' says..
Posted by blu_6779
lol yeah, i'm too lazy to delete the parts from the old disks.
Edit: Note the layout is simple and dynamic in n, o, and p

Did u made it dynamic to RAID or something?
and SCSI?
Posted by k4m!k4ze
hm.. MsInfo has the description as 'Local Fixed Disk'.. Is there anything else I should look for ?
And the write caching properties for the HDD themselves seem to be like they would appear for an external device. Screenshot -
Posted by shyam335
Im not sure,but was that the same before?
I mean some sata drivers allow sata hdd's to be hot swappable (but it shouldnt allow primary disks anyway) ,just like a removable device..
Posted by k4m!k4ze
Your asking me ?? hey your the computer geek here...
me.. i'm just a geek

ho hummm...
gotta get my beauty sleep.. See ya later guys, my HDD can wait

Goooooooooood SATURDAY Morning ! 6:22 am !
Have a HAPPY weekend . . . .
Posted by blu_6779
aaargh, I have to change the dynamic disk to a basic one cos I can't install an os on the dynamic one. Damn xp!!
Posted by *Jojo*
@blu - Hold you horses mate . .. things will become OK soon
!
Posted by blu_6779
yes it will once i fork more money on another hdd to copy the data off this one
.
Posted by govigov
@blu, just create backups on DVD's and you are good... and instead of buying a HDD, get a Dual layer DVD burner.... more than 9gb in one disc....
Posted by blu_6779
I've got 25 Gb already occupied. Where do u get dual layer dvds here? Last time I bought a chinese make for 200 bucks, it got trashed after writing.
Posted by govigov
@blu, do you have a RAID setup?
Posted by blu_6779
no. the problem is when i installed the hard disk as slave on xp, disk manager by default formats it as a dynamic disk without asking
. Now I just read up that I cannot install an OS on a dynamic disk .
Posted by whizkidd
