EXPERT REVIEW

The utilities

Here are several utilities that do pretty much the same job with a different flair. Instead of comprehensively writing about each feature, I've noted down the most relevant points that stand-out below.

Also note that these software applications are by independent developers which do have certain bugs. System administrators need to be extra careful as some of these applications may not preserve certain attributes, time-stamps, etc which may cause problems in Enterprise environments or automated file backup situations.

Please note:- File-copy/Windows file transfer is used interchangeably which refers to the entire gamut of actions -cut, copy and paste.

TeraCopy

Simply the best copy app for everyday usage

- Light weight application that can replace (optional) the default Windows file transfer.
- Can pause/resume transfers.
- Let s you skip individual files
- Has copy queuing wherein during the transfer process, pressing Crtl+C/V or dragging n-dropping to different location will automatically be added to the copy queue.
- Works with XP and Vista, Beta version works on 64bit versions

TeraCopy has got to be the best freeware Windows file copy replacement. It comes with a Pro version which is $14.95 (Rs.600) with additional features such as removing files from copy queue, etc. By the way, AVG 8.0 may stupidly identify this as a virus.

All third party software's are its own way to handle the command of copying. but windows copy comand and its operational procedure is most easiest even for a 1st standard student.

Nikhil, I'd like an app that can support copy queuing in the sense that I can select files from multiple folders and once I'm done, I can copy them to a specified location. Do any of these apps support this feature?

Instead of focusing on just C&P, if you look at holistic windows explorer interface, xPlorer2 from Zabkat is quite good and has a whole bunch of to die for features in addition to a practical copy utility that can ignore errors and also synch folders to name a few.

Samsung - U800 Soul b

User Reviews , November 22, 2008 0341 hrs IST

Samsung has produced some great-looking and affordable quality mobile phones through out the years, Samsung was one of the first company to deliver the first music phone and its also one of the first to introduced internet enabled phone, Samsung also is known for their quality phones and the Samsung U800 is probably one of the best they have ever made. The Samsung U800 has a mettalic finish which gives it a classy look, the phones feel solid and doesn't feel like cheap plastic like some of the mobile phones out in the market. Samsung also used a very good keypad on the Samsung U800 similar to the ones used in Motorola Razr's handsets except the ones on Samsung U800 is ver reposive, the keys are large which is very convenient for texting, specially when you have large fingers. Feature wise the Samsung U800 has all the things you need on a basic phones today plus a little bit more, the Samsung U800 is a Tri- Band phone it supports GPRS and HSPDA, its has dual cameras one in front for video calling and on at the back the main camera a 3 mega pixel resolution camera, the image quality of the 3MP cameras is very good, The processing, sharpening and colour detail produces good results and the camera interface is easy to use and quick for finding settings so you don?t miss anything, however video recording fared less, at a frame rate of 15 fps doesn't really impress. Playback of the recorded video showed footage that was jumpy and bitty, the Samsung U800 also has a built in FM rreceiver, Samsung U800 also supports MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+,e-ACC playback and it has a 1000mb internal memory and expandable using a Micro SD, the Samsung U800 has Bluetooth v2.0 conncectivity, the Samsung U800 handles all the common types of messages, SMS, EMS, MMS and emails, and you can store 500 SMS, 30 push messages, 200 broadcast messages and 30 configuration messages on the available 1GB memory., it also has an bult in speaker phone. As for the interface it has a standard Samsung mobile phone interface it is easy to navigate and understand. The 2 inch screen has the full colour at 16 million colours at 240 x 320 pixels , the images are sharp and of good quality. The main menu displays a grid base menu system or a standard list whichever you prefer both are easy and simple to use, so if your looking for a simple but feature pack, user friendly, classy, solid looking the Samsung U800 is a good phone, with a very good batery life (5 hours talk time), I would suggest you take a look at Samsung U800 it might just be the phone for you. ...

I loved this phone for its feature fast OS and music capablities.I m an audiophile even ipods sound quality cant satisfy me.But when i plugged my headset into my phone it satisfied to gud extend.Its unfair that Frazier have reviewed phone on default headset which i thought were only of average quality.I started chosing my phone with primary condition that it should have 3G . I u also start with that condition here is my advice. U want symbi.+music go for it. U want camera+big screen go for 5610 U want loudspeaker go for 6233 ...
