This comment might be out of place for this post… but I read that you use the XBOx 360 here in India. Are you able to use the xbox live features over there? Have you done any MP gaming? How is the reponse considering u r on an 256kbps connection? Does it lag too much or is it playable?
But since the live services hasn’t been launched officially here in India, how do pay?
I am considering getting a 360 now that it has been launched here in India. But wanted to know if the live features worked well off here…
Yes, Xbox live works from India with the 256 Kbps connection. There is sometimes but generally very playable. I play Halo2, COD2 and G.R.A.W multiplayers regularly. I had an Live account when I was in Belgium. I just renewed it using my current credit card. I do not know how you will be able to create a new account from India.

Hi Vazz. Did you buy E61? How is it? I am looking for a good mobile when I come India. Here in US mobiles suck…
Yes, I got one. It is a nice business phone. So I does not have a camera. But the other features are great. But the 3G does not work in the US. See this review: http://www.about-nokia.com/blog/index.php?itemid=354

I thought E61 was still not available in India, can you tell me what network supports it better. Airtel?
Also, is it available at the retail outlet or do you have to get it from Nokia-India or from Europe etc. Thanks.

It is available in India in most retail stores. I even saw it in the small store below my apartment.
It should work with any GSM network. I use it with Hutch. It works with Airtel too.
