I was searching for a mobile phone for my mom who can’t use the easy touch technology smart phone. She is addict to the old Nokia 1100 phones for its easy use. I wanted to replace the old worn-out Nokia with an alternative replacement for easy to use phone for elder persons.

I searched online for the best alternative to Nokia 1100 mobile phone and came across many phones which are out of choice. Finally, came across Micromax x097 phone, initially I was reluctant to buy online thinking that with the price in a small thousand, the piece will be very small with even smaller button.

Went to a local shop and asked for the same Micromax x097 and had a feel through the same I thought of purchasing. Yes, exactly it is the same phone which is better alternative to Nokia 1100 and will best suit to my mother.

The most important feature of this Micromax x097 is, it is having bigger button keypad which makes comfortable of older person when in use and this comes with cheaper price alternative to Just5, Aassan, Doro.

Convert To Cash By Selling Old or Dead Laptop, Computer, Mobile Phone, Electronic Junk Gadgets

We are interested to get the best of the electronic gadgets to feel and show over superiority to others. On the other side, with course of time – even whatever the best of superior gadgets we have or had, become junk because either we want to switch to other to keep our superiority or the gadget itself becomes obsolete.

The more we have the obsolete or junk gadget we have, the more the frustration we get. Believe me, we get frustrated because we invested huge money to get a superior item and with the advancement of technology, we want to move further to superior, thus leaving the old system unused or it becomes junk.

I would like to share of what I came across online. There is a company called ReGlobe (www.reglobe.in) an Indian electronic recycling – refurbishing company which buys our junk electronic items at reasonable prices and offer the refurbished items and cheaper price as the best alternative choice to many.

It is time to quit Airtel - Discounted tariff gone-up to Rs. 295 and the days are reduced from 90 to 70 days, 2G from 98 for 1GB for 30 days to Rs. 126 for 1GB for 28 days to now Rs. 149 for 28 days.......it is called systematic rape of customer by corporates and politicians.

Seems fuel cost will get reduce now and poli-corp (politicians & corporates) will try to concentrate on communication services.

Negatives and Alternatives to Moto E Launched in Flipkart

With the launch of the Moto E in flipkart, in just few hours, there were more than 250 reviews in flipkartitself. Many of the other technology blogs have given updates related to MotoE. I would like to give a short point on features missing on Moto E.

1. 1 No secondary camera in Moto E that means one won’t be having video calling, etc
2. 2 No flash on Moto E that means one has to take closer snap to enhance more on picture quality.

The price of Moto E on launch day in flipkart is Rs. 6999/- with the least EMI option of Rs. 626/-. It is sold by WS retail which gives additional offers as below:

Launch Day Offer :- Extra 50% off on a later purchase of a Transcend 8GB memory card View T&C

Launch Day Offer :- Free preselected eBooks worth Rs 1000 on downloading the Free Flipkart eBooks App View T&C

Launch Day Offer :- Extra 50% off on a later purchase of original Moto E back covers View T&C

The alternative mobiles phones for that price range I consider are Gionee P3, Micromax Canvas Juice A177, Lava Iris 406Q. All these mobile comes with 1GB RAM (except Gionee) with some features which may suit best as alternative to Moto E. Click here to compare these mobile phones.

How to unlock / reset micro SD memory card password?

Some of the advice I got from my friends to unlock / reset micro SD memory card password:

1. The best way to unlock the micro SD memory card is to reach a mobile repair shop in your town. They will probably have a Memory card unlock. It’s a small device like card reader and unlocks the memory card. They will charge you up to 1$ here in India. But you can’t get all the data back. Try using Applications like recover my file after unlocking.

2. The other solution is to format the card you need a Memory Card Flasher. Buying it is not a wise decision, as you won't be getting into the same problem again and again. So carry it (the memory card) to a Cell phone repairing shop, who has a flasher, they'll do it for you. It’ll take 10 to 15 minutes to format a card (for 1GB). They may charge anything between 50(INR) to 150(INR), depending on how dumb he thinks you are! I got it done for 80 bucks (due to my impatience) @ National Market, Bangalore, India.

3. Put micro SD in mini SD adaptor and put in N73 nokia or try on others simbian nokia where you can put micro sd. with FE explorer go to C:,system>mmcstore and transfer that file to pc. Open with notepad and read pass... u can use other program for simbian who search for all password on phone, input micro SD and scan.

My other friend explained the same thing to unlock memory card in two methods……

Method 1: Recover memory card password, using Fexplorer. We need Fexplorer for this mobile hack. After installation, Browse to c:\system folder in your mobile phone. Here you would find a file mmcstore .This file is actually used to store memory card passwords in a mobile phone . Rename this file to mmcstore.txt and open with notepad. Now you will see the memory card password as it is, exactly.

Method 2: Unlock memory card passwords of Nokia Nseries and Eseries phones. The first hack to recover the password of memory cards will not work on Nokia Nseries and Nokia Eseries devices. Here we will use the remote lock feature for re-setting the password. For this, go to your pones settings >Security >Phone and SIM> and then allow Remote lock. The password of your remote lock will be the password of your memory card .So if you want to change the memory card password, just send an SMS containing your remote lock message.

RIM BLACKBERRY: How Push Mail Works?

Research in Motion's (RIM) "Push Mail" for its Blackberry phones keeps its customers constantly in sync with their mailboxes. The Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) encrypts incoming mail and pushes it on to the handheld device through the mobile telephony network. Therefore, the customer does not need to "poll" the server for any new mail by checking the server periodically.

The encryption is very powerful enough to ensure the mail cannot be read by other parties. The company already provides access to voice calls, SMS and internet access. How Blackberry Push Mail Works can be understood from below points.

If anyone sends email to your mail address, it arrives to your desktop PC.

Blackberry Enterprise Server Compresses, encrypts and forwards the message to handheld device via the internet and wireless network.

Your handheld device receives decrypts and decompresses the email. You can respond to email using the keyboard on the Blackberry handheld.

PaisaGate - Expense Tracking Solution Through Mobile Phone

As the world shrinks into your handheld device, the mobile phone is becoming very increasingly popular for most of us. Yet one more application developed by Chennai based Flexscient Technologies called PaisaGate which keeps track of our daily spending through short text messages.

PaisaGate is a money management service that helps users with budget planning and expense tracking using SMS, mobile application or online interfaces. Users get daily updates on expenses and a consolidated expense report at the end of the month. The PaisaGate expenditure tracking solution has been designed with the large mobile subscriber base in India that still uses ‘basic' mobile phones.

Ideally, any mobile phone that supports Java can use the service. The first task the used have to do is to download PaisaGate application on to the phone from the website: www.flexscient.com. If your phone has no GPRS, it can be blue-toothed, or transferred via cable on to the phone from a desktop or laptop.

For a case in point, if a user types in petrol 80, indicating the amount spent on petrol during the day and sends via SMS to the server, these expense inputs are automatically categorized by the software into different expense heads and a consolidated report is sent to the users every night at the end of the month.

Standard charges are applicable to users for SMS by their mobile phone service provider, when sending SMS to the service. This service is offered in three different subscription packages — Personal, Group and Professional. The Group and Professional packages enable a group of members (e.g. a team, household, small business) to track their expenses in a centralized account.

PaisaGate is available for subscription for 6 months for a fee of around Rs. 150. Users and try for a one month free by registering with this linkhttp://www.paisagate.com/login.htm?task=register
