after many days of pondering over which device to buy and several days spent reading online reviews and specs of all models, a single hands-on experience and hands-on comparison with the competition was enough to convince me to pick it up without a second thought. none of the competitors come anywhere close to it. the lumia 800 is very smooth, lightning fast and highly attractive. windows OS is very pretty to look at compared to android, and most of the apps i wanted were there in the marketplace so thats not really an issue. my only grudge is its somewhat low battery life which runs out by night after a full day of reasonably heavy use on 3g, but then none of the other modern day smartphones last much longer than that nowadays and it does outlast my galaxy note. three cheers and five stars to nokia for a marvellous phone.

This movie easily makes it to the list of the all-time great movies I have seen. An extremely powerful portrayal of Sindhutai, a housewife abandoned with her small daughter by both husband and maternal home who, even in desperate poverty, adopts street children as her own and eventually becomes a much-acclaimed internationally renowned public speaker and fearless social activist. The performances are such that they stay with you long after the movie has ended and leave you in awe of this amazing personality. Ignore the fact that this movie is in Marathi and watch even if you don't understand a word. It transcends all languages (and of course has English subtitles). Go for it!

having used it for a few months now, i can safely say its nothing like i have ever used earlier. its reduced my laptop use by 80 - 90 percent with its superb functionality. very fast, doesnt hang, the display is amazing and addictively attractive. android market never ceases to amaze. the one grouse is battery life but i guess when i am using it pretty heavily 16hrs a day one recharge is justifiable. go for it!! its well worth the price. and flipkart super-amazing, delivered it the next working day, flipkart has the best deal for this phone.

everyone must read this book for understanding the potential of ordinary citizens of our great country explained by this great man in the most simple manner. for all those who feel india has no hope, this book is the one to read to dispel all those doubts and look at things around you in a totally different light. dr kalam, we are privileged to live during your lifetime. thanks for reminding.

dont read book three first, you wont understand a word. buy both and read the book two (this one) as the third book
(the girl who kicked the hornet's nest) doesnt even make a pretense of being a novel by itself, its a direct continuation of book 2. wonder why they put it in a separate book, 2 and 3 are actually one book in two parts. but surely read all three!! its a super trilogy :)

stieg larsson must be laughing in heaven. his trilogy has broken several records. its an amazing three books, though very much like a masala hindi movie at times. but his narrative runs smooth as silk and the characters are interesting enough to keep you glued to the end. surely you will lose a lot of working hours reading these fabulous books!!

surely the katha series are a collection of some of the most marvellous short stories to come out of Indian literature. this book is a far better read than most others, even in the Katha series this one i consider to be the best. please do buy and read. u'll really enjoy this one.

the bag is really good, flipkart service was awesome. but a few words of caution. the video clearly shows a section to place the laptop but this bag does not have any such section. it is indeed a great product but such misrepresentation is not expected from a top company like lowepro.
