Woes of a Reliance WiMax user:

Standing advice for people who are thinking off to shift to Reliance WiMax Broadband Connection-”Dont”. WiMax Connection is thought to be handled by experts in telecommunications and this makes out to nothing but pain in the a** for most of the subscribers. An IP address wouldnt be provided for the system with a connection, the IP address would be changing every time you log into your system.(Well, this can be understood, No ISP provideds a Stati IP address unless you pay more). But, wait for more woes.It is a common experience that you will face multiple timeouts due to which you can login to any of the mail acounts or Orkut. Sometimes, you need to wait for 10-20 minutes in order to get an IP and log on.

It is a common notion that Reliance wiMax BroadBand Connection is still under the beta face, but released onto the public to play with their money and emotions. And add to this, the pathetic Customer Care, which would always say that your complaint had been resolved. Many a users have a common opinion. How would your problem be resolved without checking on the Customer’s Feedback? And once the call is resolved, it cannot
be reopened with the same complaint number and the caller would loose the advantage of emphasizing the complaint. So, opening another ticket would mean, starting over again. The Customer care professionals ask you to do basics of checking the IP Address and flushdns, ipconfig and thats it. Your connection is up and running or We will send professionals who would arrive after again reminding them.

Add to this, getting a duplicate bill. A friend of mine expressed his problems in a simple manner. “Using for the past 3 months, 2 Complaints per week, no duplicate bill even after calling 5 times”. Most of the times when the so-called technical people arrive at your doorstep, you begin by helping them out in letting them understand the basics of setting up an internet connection.

Most of the people suggest that Reliance should be awarded “Worst Ever ISP Award”.

LG KU990 Viewty

The LG Viewty (LG-KU990) has been launched in India. It was unveiled by Bollywood’s latest hearthrob, Deepika Padukone. Within five weeks of the handset’s launch in Europe this year, LG Viewty has already sold over 310,000 units globally.

The LG Viewty has a 5 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens and a Xenon flash. The ISO800 and SmartLight, and one-touch image stabilizer helps in clicking clear photos even in poor light or shaking conditions. The 3-inches LCD full-touch screen is enhanced with a touch signal to allow users confirm proper functioning of the touch-screen. Pictures once taken can be instantly viewed and edited on the LCD screen using the handwriting editing function.

The Viewty has a 120fps video recording function for shooting videos. The videos can be shared through single-click connection via HSDPA 3.6 high speed internet capability to YouTube.

The ‘ergonomic quotient’ of the handset is improved thanks to the jog wheel placed on the backside, which mainly makes for quick scrolling and searching, as also turning the volume up and down, fast-forwarding and rewinding, zooming- in and out, etc. In three steps, users can select modes, including camera, video, and album.

LG India Director (Sales and Marketing) V. Ramachandran added in a statement: “We want to consolidate our position in the Indian market and are targeting 8-10 per cent market share in a couple of years. We plan to launch around 20 more new handsets in the GSM segment where we have nine models. We want to be among the top three mobile handset vendors by next year. We will also focus on offering premium mobile phones in the GSM space.”
