This cool phone is available in Chennai from 2 dealers as of now.

Wavetel  and Poorvika 

22800 at Wavetel and 22999 at Poorvika

These prices are exclusive of tax I suppose.

Can’t see any sign of the Phone @ Univercell

I was surprised to notice a new mobile showroom on the ECR.There is only one showroom called Signals that i remember seeing on the same road before.Univercell has opened a new showroom in ECR

New No : 3 / 486, East Coast Road,
Pallavakkam,
CHENNAI-600041

With this the no of showrooms they operate in the city has reached 20

Airtel Chennai’s Network was down for about 2 hours today . As I write this post , the network seems to be back up.

Both General users and Blackberry users were complaining of lack of coverage.

I myself saw a 0 in the signal strength indicator for about an hour and my 6630 had switched to 3G.

If you want to get the latest mobile phone handset prices .. Do log on to FoneArena - Mobile Phone Pricelist

I was surprised when I came to know that Wavetelmobiles

is selling phones cheaper than many other retailers including Univercell

For instance take the Nokia N73 Music Edition which is a hot seller

Univercell sells it at Rs.22500 and Wavetell at  Rs.21950

Whom would you buy it from ?

UPDATE : Please check this page.

In this post I’ll take you through noted mobile dealers / shops in the chennai.

Most mobile thefts open in the road side or in in crowded areas. So many people are loosing mobile phones daily in the city. I got nearly 50 phone calls from people who had lost their cell phones after an article on FoneArena.com and IMEI in Adyar Times.

More than the cost of the handset ,its really the contacts and personal information which takes the beating. Most often people use their mobile phone phonebooks as their telephone directory. You might be maintaining it for years and suddenly one day when your phone gets lost, you might be in a state of shock !! I want to get in touch with this guy in this company. Damn !! I had saved it in my mobile. Its not that I can’t get the Guy’s number. I can , but I need to go again thorugh several people for a stupid reason.

I would also advice you to take regular backups of your contacts in your mobile phone in an excel file or use services such as Zyb if you have an internet enabled mobile .

Some pointers to avoid mobile theft

• Avoid using your mobile phone in heavily crowded areas
• Avoid using your mobile phone in public transport
• Avoid lending your mobile phone to strangers who might try to trick you
• Dont talk while driving
• Avoid leaving your handset in your vehicle
• Do not leave you phone unattended in any place, even at your home

Please add to the above list if you find anything missing.
