MIgrating from Nokia E50 to HTC s710

Posting after a long gap, lots of things have happened in between, got the new mini Vidas machine, started number of new tests. That took lot of effort, but in the end things seem to have settled down.
Little bit of alteration is going on in the premises, not much attention being paid there, hoping that things will take care of themselves; afterall mother and better half are paying attention on that front.
MGM medical college - work has multiplied over the years. Everybody has to elevate their performance to next level.
Respite is hard to get, when it comes it should not squandered in watching TV, it should be spent in thinking about how to improve work efficiency so that day to day work becomes less bothersome.
Anyway, let me return to my experience with s710, yeah it has that Windows tag and all. Not used office much, except ofcourse the outlook syncronisation, that is a dream, though it needs some tweaking to get emails from mobile memory to memory card. Again people have had this issue and they have solved it through a hack in the registry. Details are can be found somewhere on the web.
Then came the big problem contacts, again that was not as difficult as expected, once they were backed on to desktop outlook from E50 and then went to new s710... time consuming but so far so good.
Camera looks better, as expected, being 2 megapixel; got to play with it some more to get the feel.
Overall phone is little bit slow and bulky compared to Nokia E50, contacts keep disappearing time and again, and need reboot to make them appear again.
I don't what is it about windows that makes reboot such a important routine!
Anyway overall it is good change. Especially the email sync, it is cool! When nokia gets this on their lower end phones, that will be tough to beat.
BSNL broadband wi-fi and vodafone GPRS still not configured, will try...

Bottomline - this is definitely worth a try.
