vishal maniya Mobile updates

Recently at a press event in Bangalore, Dell showcased its Dell Streak tablet which was first leaked during mid 2010. Because of its 5” screen size, Dell Streak is much smaller than most tablets out there, but bigger than all the smartphones. This was the reason why it created a category of its own, that is, a mini tablet with smartphone capabilities. Now, this mini tablet is ready to do wonders in Indian market as well, and will hit the Dell stores on October 15.

Dell Streak runs on the Google’s Android operating system, providing a huge application base for the device. Even the hardware of this device is quite powerful, and this little wonder runs on a 1GHz Qualcomm processor with 512MB RAM. Checkout the complete list of features of Dell Streak:

Screen: 5” TFT multi-touch capacitive touchscreen with 480×800 resolution
Camera: 5MP rear camera with 2592×1944 resolution, autofocus, dual LED flash, Geo-tagging, and front camera for video calls
Processor: 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250
Memory: 16GB flash storage, 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM, microSD card slot supporting up to 32GB
Connectivity: 2G, 3G (HSDPA 7.2Mbps; HSUPA 5.76Mbps), GPS, GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth, USB 2.0, and 3.5 mm headphone jack

No doubt that Dell Streak is a powerful machine, and with Android support, its power just gets double. The only downside in Dell Streak is the inability of playing radio.

Dell Streak will be available from October 15 onwards in Dell exclusive showrooms and Tata Docomo stores for a price of Rs. 34,990. Lets see how well it does in India.

You can make free phone calls with GA628 (also work on other models)

NOTE: This trick has only been reported working on PREPAID GSM CARDS and in some countries and with some software versions.
The prepaid GSM SIM CARD is a kind of "SIM card" which only has a certain amount of credit on it.
Here's the trick: Dial the number normally and press YES. While "connecting" is shown on the screen, the following procedure should be carried out:
Press CLR then 0 then # and then NO (twice) so as to switch OFF the phone. You can then still speak on the phone while it is switched off but the SIM card does not record your calls which will lead to FREE phone calls in some countries.. I hope!!
