Thanks for your response. Yes, this is a brand new piece, no open box, refurb, etc. Luckily I am getting price match at Best Buy, so it is guaranteed to be a new piece. I scratched out the 2011 model and have come down to two choices now - Samsung F9000 (55" 2013 model, UHD, 3D, built in...

Hi guys, I am on the lookout for a good TV and I found a pretty good discount for a Samsung D8000 LED TV. But this model was launched in 2011 and I am wondering, does the year matter a lot? Feature wise I dont care much, but I want good picture and colors. Do the panels used in 2011 models and...

If anyone has information on this, could you share it please? I heard global version phones will have warranty coverage, but wasn't sure if it was only for phones purchased before a particular date.

A slightly unusual deal ... if this is not appropriate, I can pull down this thread - I have a makemytrip.com coupon for Rs500 instant discount available for sale. Offer Highlights: Get Rs 500 OFF on one way domestic flight on minimum booking of Rs.5000 and above. How to redeem this offer...

I bought a 64GB OPO from the US. I upgraded from the S3 and I am not a power user (just do the general calling, browsing, light gaming, messaging and a few apps.. no rooting or any of that kind of stuff). I haven't had any issues with the OPO. After initial setup, I upgraded to the latest...

Thanks for the response. Does Aircel provide only the sim for data connectivity? I mean, since I have the USB dongle, can I save some money by just getting the sim card, or are all plans such that sim is packaged with the USB dongle? Couldnt get this information from their website.

Hi folks, I am going to be in Bangalore for a month and I need temporary internet connectivity for my laptop while I am there. I need at the most 2-3 mbps connection with about 5-6 GB data limit for a month. I looked up all the options and am thoroughly confused between airtel 4g or tata photon...

Hi guys, I dusted the cover off my old PSP slim today. Could you let me know what is the latest custom firmware that I should install on the PSP slim? I have 5.50 Prometheus on it. Also, any suggestions on any good games? Some of the games I liked playing on this were Tekken, God of War...

Hi folks, I am looking for an application that I can run on Win 7/XP that will give a graphical representation (time v/s remaining battery life) of the battery life of a laptop. Does any one know of such an application? TIA.

Hi, Probably folks who have experience with solid state HDDs can help me - Is the boot time for an OS like Win 7 significantly faster when run on a solid state HDD? If yes, how much is the difference? Thanks.

I am very happy with my Kindle.. not sure about how you plan to use your ebook reader, but the sole reason I bought the Kindle was to read books and news. Reading on a 6 inch device is very comfortable, I would say in some ways it is better than the 9 inch version - the small form factor and...

Got my Kindle delivered to me yesterday. I must say I am impressed with the e-ink technology.. the print looks very natural, almost close to paper! Have been reading for the whole day and unlike reading on a laptop, my eyes are not strained.

Thanks for the responses! I'll go for the Kindle 3 Wifi then.

Thank you everyone. My old desktop died and I still have the monitor, keyboard/mouse and external dvd writer with me. So the netbook seemed to be the most economical option to me. From the responses, looks like I dont have to worry about any performance issues.

Hello everyone, I am planning to buy the Kindle 3, but wanted to know if it makes any sense to buy the 3G version if I'll be using it in India? Also, any cons if I buy the reader from US and use it in India? TIA, -DK
