Samsung Galaxy Tab (Android 2.2)

Just a couple of points I thought to mention which I did not find while seeing reviews of the above mentioned product on the Internet.

1. When  a phone call comes or when a phone call is made, the speaker phone is automatically activated. In fact there seems to be no other option. If you want private conversation, you need to connect a headset.
2. While flash 10.1 is supported and therefore the videos in sites like cnn.com are expected to be visible, many sites do auto-redirect to mobile sites (including cnn.com at the point of writing) which often lack such videos. To disable this auto-redirection, type, "about:useragent" without quotes at the browser address bar and hit go. Then choose, "desktop" option from the pop-up which means that any site that you visit now would consider your system to be a desktop rather than a mobile phone.

Happy tabbing!

Nokia N81 "Memory Full" Workaround

The users of Nokia N81 may be knowing about this issue. The issue is with phone memory and is there irrespective of how much free memory you have in your memory card. While there appears to be an inherent problem with this handset, you can remove some programs/applications from the phone memory that are not absolutely must for you to fix this problem. To do so, just go to, "Menu" > "Applications" > "App. mgr." and uninstall the programs that are not absolutely must for you. Before uninstalling, you can check the memory that a program is using from, "Options" > "View details" and then decide if it would help to remove that. Any new program that you have installed in phone memory like, "Opera Mini" for example should be removed from there and should be installed in memory card.

Additionally, it may be a good idea to clean cache from the default browser frequently.
