Tata and Samsung launch Mobile Web Browser on the Samsung Explore Handset
Tata Telecom, India’s leading teleservice, has collaborated with Samsung Electronics to launch the country’s first mobile web browser on a mobile phone, which is called Samsung Explore.
According to the official statement, the new service is fully optimized for mobile internet and giving access to all websites. It has the ability to deliver 3-4 times faster speed as compared to GPRS.
“This innovation is an important step in extending the power of the internet on to mobile devices, making it accessible to the large and growing mass of mobile users. With our new mobile web browser, Tata Indicom customers can get a rich and full internet experience on handsets that are very affordable. The new capabilities of the mobile browser with the faster access of CDMA, provides a quick and full experience, unlike any other that we have seen till now,” said Tata Teleservices Limited president (VAS) Pankaj Sethi.
Along with the web browser, Samsung Explore also comes with a ‘Go Active’ connection for the user to enjoy free incoming facility for a year and 100-minutes Tata-to-Tata calling at no extra cost.
Besides, the ultra-slim and sleek Explore features 0.3 MP camera, full-fledged MP3 player, FM with one-time auto tune, large 1.77-inch TFT color screen, unique customized-for-India applications, expandable memory apart from security features of mobile tracker and emergency SOS alert.
Tata Indicom’s Mobile internet is available at prices ranging from Rs 10 per day to Rs 99 for a month, with unlimited internet access.

where do i find the datacable for samsung explore

Posted By: Gokul,Dec 1st, 2007 pm31 11.52pm
I dont think that a data cable will work with explore model. Better go for a Micro SD Card and buy a card reader. The SD card will cost you around Rs:600/- (1 GB) and the Card reader will be around Rs:200/- and you can enjoy with !!

You can set any MP3 file/song as ringtone on your Samsung Explore. No size constraints.
Menu > MP3 > MP3 files > Scroll to your mp3 file > Options > Set to ringer > Call ringer > OK
A general review on phone:
Pros:
> Slim, Elegant, Light, Bright Screen
Cons:
> Low screen resolution, Low battery life (A 2hr mp3 playback on headphones and above average talking will drain the battery in -
Posted By: Asim,Jul 2nd, 2008 am31 01.01am
Connecting to PC for internet is possible. I get maximum speed of 50 kbps. Can be used only in case of emergency as the Internet plans available for GPRS mobile from Tata indicom is not at all competitive.
Also, I recently found that the GRPS modem inside my phone stopped responding. Tata indicom customer care technical team could not help much. 'Query modem' from computer was not giving any response after a few days of usage even though the Modem is detected.
When it comes to voice call performance, The transmission looks weak even though reception is good. On many occassions intermittently the person at the other end is hearing broken voice from me. -

Hi Asim,
In my mobile i cud not see set ringer option in MP3 options.Can u please mention the version in settings menu so that i will try asking samsung care.Becoz i bought this in last November.Please reply.
Thanks,
Ravi -
Posted By: Akhil,Jul 18th, 2008 am31 04.28am
Hi, i am using this mobile phone since november, 07 and i have also contacted samsung customer care. According to them, the new samsung explore is equipped with an upgraded software which is capable of setting mp3 songs as ringtone. The older model can be upgraded by visiting nearest samsung centre as they will perform the required software upgrade and we will be able to set mp3 songs as ringtone.
and abt videao, only recorded videos from samsung explore can be played in mobile, but videos copied from mobile will not work. also, we cannot install any software on our own, we can only download softwares avalable on tata zone..
All the above are the limitations of this cell, which makes it a little bit less dearer.. nyway njoy with samsung explore!! -
Posted By: Aman,Aug 6th, 2008 am31 03.48am
The samsung explore data cable can be ordered on tataindicom.com website online. It costs just Rs. 129. I have already got one.
