hello guys , i have recently purchased Motorola Milestone with android 2.0 , i send lots of sms but the contacts cannot be selected from the message send from message screen , can anyone tell the solution for it ?

[jain_pranav]

@ max_demon

Even i faced this problem..in contacts,ur nos. must be assignesd "other" category..
Just change them 2 "mobile" category..
U need 2 change 1 by 1 though

[tgpraveen]

if u go in messaging settings there is a option show all nos./show nos. with mobile or something. using that ur prob can be solved.

Gawd!! Just download handcent from the market and be happy.

[amitabhishek]

I don't recollect having this problem. Once you sync your contacts with Google account you wont have that problem again or just download handcent SMS as dreamcatcher says.

Hmm.. Galaxy S coming to India in June: http://www.cellpassion.com/2010/05/3...india-in-june/

[sujoyp]

It would be awesome...its the best out there right now

[kalpik]

^^ Well.. The absence of camera flash kinda ruins it for me

[sujoyp]

camera flash does not provide much advantage anyway other then torch

I find Led light good for nothing...and single led is just useless

[sriharsha_madineni]

^^ Well.. The absence of camera flash kinda ruins it for me

It still is full of confusions whether the final production model will have flash or not.
Look here

^^ This might be true coz the one GSM arena reviewed has only 256MB RAM, where as Samsung confirmed that the production model will have 512MB RAM. Same might be the case with flash I guess

^^ Nice! If it DOES have a flash, then ill have some food for thought! Constant updates of N1 vs the sheer hardware specs of Galaxy S

[kalpik]

Hmm.. Reading more about this phone, it seems it's a really nice buy! Lets wait for some reviews once its launched

[FilledVoid]

Seriously? Last week you were ranting at me for recommending this phone to you . If I recall right you blamed it for some UI issue !!!

If you don't buy a phone within the next month I'm starting a Donation for Kalpik's Phone thread!

[kalpik]

^^ HAHA! No need for that! And yes, now that i've read more about it, the phone looks good! sowiee for shooting you down earlier

Another factor which caught my attention is that it's gonna be a June release with expected price tag of 28k.. Availability and price were the other 2 factors why i rejected this phone last week

[FilledVoid]

Lol valid reasons. But whats going to be the problem is . By the next month something else is going to come and again you are going to be back at waiting for it as well

[kalpik]

^^ Hehe yeah.. Well, i would have already bought the N1 if stocks were there.. And if this releases by 10th June (like the rumors are), then i might buy this too

[dreamcatcher]

The only thing that is pissing me about Android right now is the non-availability of paid apps. Gawd!! I seriously dont mind shelling a few bucks for some proper apps.

[amitabhishek]

Paid applications are not available in India. They are made available only in:

Australia
Austria
Canada
France
Germany
Italy
Japan
Netherlands
New Zealand
Spain
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States

However you can use this hack to buy some:

And how exactly do you pay? Do they include the expenses incurred to my bill?

They'd ask for your credit card number and CVV code.

Just read X10mini review on gsmarena.com

Its a positive review somehow....but still its targeted to very less people...mainly for people who want a small and light android phone with all features..

typing msg on it will be a pain...its better to get x10mini pro

[sriharsha_madineni]

OMG what happened to Samsung Suddenly, First they come up with Galaxy S, if that 4.0 inch super AMOLED wasn't enough, now they announced equally beautiful and powerful android based tablet with 7.1 inch Super AMOLED, Galaxy TAB , targeting the iPad I suppose.

And now they are even revamping their mp3 player line up with android based PMP YP-MB2 ,targeting the iPod touch may be
and guess what again the same 4.0 in Super AMOLED in this too

[kalpik]

Hehe.. Yeah.. They've gone launch crazy! Waiting for the Galaxy S myself

[desiibond]

This definitely is going to be the year of Android platform. Looks like everyone is eager to get a lions share.

[sujoyp]

Samsung makes good competitors but r not much innovators...but who wants to spend thousands on apple...Samsung is good bargain for us

[amitabhishek]

And why on Earth are they calling their PMP as YPMB2! Some needs a lesson here on branding!

[sriharsha_madineni]

Check out the Galaxy S homepage, samsung definitely is moving ahead in all terms( ^^ Other than naming of course ) Wish Nokia would wake up from their day dreams
