Vithagan, See if you can install Opera browser, then you can view tamil fonts. In Adnroid phones, Opera is the ONLY way!

If you don't get Opera for Touchpad, try this:- In your Browser Settings select 'Text encoding' and set it to UTF-8. Kindly post the result. I am not sure if this will work or not....

Before changing, make note of existing option! If UTF-8 doesn't work, you may need to revert it back

I'm not able to get into browser settings, I just have Browser preferences which has the following option

Block Popups
Accept Cookies
Enable Javascript
Enable flash
Autoload flash

Other than that I don't see settings for text encoding.

which is the best* android phone? Samsung or Sony Ericsson or Motorola

* Best - (in my definition)

- Cost effective, fast, good resolution, Wi Fi, 3G, supporting many apps

- Camera / Music quality not a matter at all

- Price should be around 10K

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Rsubras, I have Dell XCD35 which is 10K, Its the best Smartphone in this range. Kindly search for my posts in this thread or see the comments for this mobile in flipkart.com

"supporting many apps" - In android all mobiles support most apps. need not worry about that, This is the great technical beauty of android!

- Cost effective, fast, good resolution, Wi Fi, 3G, - All this fits for this mobile! Resolution is higher than iPhone 3 and Screen size is equal to iPhone. all other 10K Android phones lacks this!

- Camera / Music quality not a matter at all - Yes! Camera and Speaker quality not that great but u can wear headphones. But this is the most you are getting in this price range

thanks sakala..where do you get it? In bangy or Chennai? in DELL show room? why is it not available in univercell, poorvika etc.,?

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Dell doesn't have strong dealership network for mobiles it seems. I got it in a local shop bangalore(10.1 K) , but need not worry, mostly its genuine except burma bazzaar types. In chennai, most of the big and medium shops shud have it i guess.

You can take time to know the features and to find dealers. Local shops and dealers may sell for less. Poorvika Univercell & shopping malls etc may sell close to 11k.

If you are ready to shell extra 4K, i would suggest Spice Mi-410 which is rebranded Huawei IdeOS X6 phone. 4 inch 1 GHz phone

Rsubras, just one info, In case if you buy Dell XCD35, buy only those which comes with Android 2.2. Some resellers are selling the same phone with version 2.1 which is slightly older..
