my old cellphone display is not day light readable that is screen is extremely difficult to see in broad daylight so i decided to buy a new phone which has a visibility in daylight though i thought simple googling will give me the answer on which cell phone to buy but then i came to know that there is no much information about on this matter.
and after a long hard search on the net i came to know that Blackberry, iPhone, and some nokia E series have a daylight or sunlight readable screens and most of them say motorola and lg are the phones to be away if you are looking for visible screens.
what i am looking in the new phone is 3.2MP t o 8MP camera, excellent audio, 3G, wifi nice keypad, slim and thin body and good battery life and of course sunlight reflective screen i dont want to again endup covering my hand in the sunlight to read the content on the screen if any one of you know such phone do suggest me some good phones.
recently Aircel launched a first of its kind email device in India to enhance email experience on the move, what special about this device is its a email only low cost device priced at 2999 INR and it is said to be available in all Aircel stores, croma, ezone and few other stores. coming to my personal review based on my experience in email's and based on the features of peek has to offer, peek comes in two flavors peek and peek pronto but in india aircel is offering only peek, peek is said to:
Peek features --> support multiple(three) email accounts --> easy to setup interface --> supports push email that is you get emails as and when you get it that is on the fly, --> peek as the the ability to view attachments (pdf, word, excel, pictures etc) --> supports features such as Security lock, Airplane mode, themes, sounds and alerts --> Ability to download contacts --> Can search inbox for mails --> Remarkable battery life 3-5 days( from various sources)
now coming to look and feel of the device --> Large Screen --> Peek is slim, thin and ligt weight --> QWERTY Keypad --> Side Scroller Wheel to scroll the mail headers and menu up and down --> a back button on side of the device --> Nice Email indicator on top of the screen to for alert new emails
below is the video on overall first hand review on peek which gives a nice overall view on this email device
the aircel peek plans is as below: Prepaid: unlimited email service for first 90 days at the price tag of 897 rs and subsequent plans are rs 89 for 7days and 299 for 30 days.
Postpaid: similar to prepaid rs 897 for first 90 days for unlimited email service and monthly rental of 299.
and my take on the peek being a email application developer for more than 3 years, though peek says what it does it has the some of the cons on its side being a non touch interface device it is very pain to browse view and compose email using the scroll wheel and button but this will be a good device for less tech savvy people such as grandpa's, doctors who access emails once in a while and other major cons of it is its inability to make voice calls without it people always carry two devices one for emailing and one for voice calls, what ever it is lets see how Indian people goes with peek?
Are you getting the warning "The break point will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document." recently all of a sudden breakpoints stopped working in my project on vs IDE the breakpoints became hollow circle with a warning message inside though i had this problem previously on both VS 2008 and Vs 2005 i always forgot the solution on how i fixed it so this time i thought of logging it in my blog for future reference ;) below are few points that comes handy when you break points stop working on vs
--> First of all check whether you are running on debug or release mode if you are running on release mode change it to debug, if it is in debug try next step.
--> Go to Debug-->Windows-->Modules check whether all the project dll's have symbol status if it says cannot find or open pdb file right click on module select load symbols and browse to the path of your application PDB,if it says says symbol Loaded then try next point.
--> Exit your IDE and delete bin and obj folder go to visual studio command line and run "devenv /resetsettings" NOTE: running this command will reset all your visual studio settings to default so think before running it and use at your own risk.
--> If you are using web development then Clear temproary output folders the path looks something like below
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\{framework version}\Temporary ASP.NET Files\{some name}\{some numbers}\{some numbers}
--> if your are Windows developer like me and all the above tips fails try deleting the emulator images actually this worked for me go to below path and delete the emulator images as shown in below pic
C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Application Data\Microsoft\Device Emulator
though just deleting the image emulator worked for me there are wide array of reasons why the break points never hits and depends on type or projects and applications being developed if your problem was different and you fixed it and if it is not in the above points do share with us by leaving a comment here.
