Re: 11 Tips on Pitching an Investor, Mentor, etc.

Hi Sudeep,
Great point. However, i think that it takes time for people to build up their confidence and pitching style to be able to tell a story to sell your vision as well as Mukund does. People should set that as a target and thru practice, they should be able to get there.
Cheers,

Thanks Manish. I do think it's overblown. The problem does exist but it's easily avoidable and not the end of the world. Apple's initial handling of it is what I think got most people riled up. It does look like it's calmed down now. Now people are talking about the Blackberry iPhone killer to be introduced next week.....

Re: Will India Leapfrog the Apple iPhone 3G[S]?

pankaj — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:42:24 -0000

Well, it looks like I was wrong. India will not leapfrog the iPhone 3G[S]. Airtel announced today that they will be introducing the iPhone 3G[S] in India in the coming months. I guess the US slowdown of iPhone sales has put the pressure on Apple to get moving in India. Still, too little, too late in my opinion.

July should see the launch of the next iPhone in the US and other markets. However, should we wait for another 8-9 months after that to see it in India?

Manish,
You should make it a point to attend Startup Saturday Delhi (http://pjain.us/ssd) to talk to other entrepreneurs that may be interested in using your incubator.

Re: Apple iPhone on Airtel India Minus GPRS

You should update to iPhone 3.0 and after you've done that you can follow the instructions at http://bit.ly/7Sl9C to update the tethering, gprs, and mms settings. Make sure the service is enabled by Airtel as described in the post.

Your best bet is to read the post and contact Airtel as described.

Yes Tejas. Pick up the iPhone from Vodafone and it'll work fine.

Any chance that your script works with the new FB UI or is this based on the old UI?

Re: Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on ThinkPad T60

pankaj — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 01:42:08 -0000

Mtee,
I haven't had a chance to load ubuntu 8.10 on my T60 yet. However, if
you're using WiFi, I've had weird problems, sometimes, with the applet
responsible for managing WEP/WPA keys and connecting me to a WiFi
router with a proper IP address. I wonder if you're having that
problem or using a straight Ethernet.

Let me know.
Cheers

I feel your pain. I really really do. Just be patient and nag the hell out of them. When they finally get it right, it's worth the pain.

Abhay,
You should synch your iPhone with iTunes. When iTunes asks to update
your carrier settings, say yes. If that still doesn't work, you
should probably call vodafone. Good luck though.

Hi Sandeep,

The incompetence of the "customer service" reps knows no bounds. The
EDGE menu used to exist on the older 1.1.4 and lower firmware. The
2.0 firmware doesn't allow a place to change EDGE settings.

Ok, a few things,

1) Make sure you synch your iPhone up with iTunes. I believe iTunes
will update your handset with the settings required for your carrier.
This is something that may or may not happen. It's possible your
settings were updated before the phone shipped from the manufacturer.
Still, synching with your computer frequently is a good idea.
2) Once you sync and the settings are updated, turn the off and then
back on and see if you can connect via EDGE.
3) If you still can't connect, pick up the phone, and tell Airtel that
the iPhone service is not active. They need to activate it on their
end. I believe this is most likely the problem. They haven't fully
activated the iPhone EDGE service on your account. However, I could
be wrong.

If this still fails, you can try a few things:

1) yell and scream at the customer service reps to speak to a manager,
then yell at the manager, then send a letter and email to the nodal
officer for your region and yell at them
2) Go to an Airtel store, force them to exchange the iPhone for a
brand new one and have them get it working before you walk out of the
store
3) Call Apple and complain, though, I believe they will refer you back
to Airtel.

Let us know how it goes. I thought that Apple would have made sure
Airtel and Vodafone got their act together with the 3G being sold
directly by them.

Cheers,
Pankaj

Amit,
I believe Vodafone Live is activated by default but I could be wrong.
You're correct about Mobile Connect. It's their GPRS service that's
required to connect to any Internet services like email/browsing/IM
that are outside Vodafone Live. I think Vodafone has a 1GB of data
transfer for Rs. 999/month but it's been a while since I checked.

Re: Apple iPhone on Airtel India Minus GPRS

pankaj — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 03:04:08 -0000

Vivek,
I advise you to read the post again. You are most likely facing the
same problem I had with Airtel. They kept telling me that Mobile
Office was active when, in fact, it wasn't. The "E" just means you
can get to Airtel Live services (completely useless IMHO). Call them,
yell at them, get frustrated, wait 4 hours, repeat until it works.

Now that they're selling the iPhone 3G, they will most likely support
you when you tell them you have an iPhone. Also, you might want to
consider upgrading to version 2.0 or 2.01 of the firmware. Lotsa
little goodies in the upgrade and then you can run lots of great apps
from the Apple iTunes App store.

Rahgu,
I just noticed that you said "Enable 3G". You obviously have a shiny
new iPhone 3G. Did you buy it from Vodafone or somewhere else? Of
you got it from Vodafone India, they must get your problem resolved.
Even if you got it from another source, Vodafone will most likely
support you and help get your poblems resolved. Try contacting them.

On another note, what level of the firmware are you running? Have you
recently synched your phone with iTunes? Last night, iTunes offered
to download updated settings for my carrier, Airtel. It's probable
that iTunes will also update your phone with vodafone settings.
Please let us know if that does happen.

Cheers,
Pankaj
