hi i am new user 4 krome spy in delhi pls..
advice me were u r service center in delhi
my krome spy battery is damage so i need
a new battry n how much plzzzz..........
I bought a Krome M9000i Handset and I loved it, But to my dismay the handset died completely in 3 months of warranty period and insult on injury is that the shopekeeper says that Krome was a big failure and they have stopped their operations in India and the phone can not be repared. They suggested me that they would return half the money it cost me which is not acceptable. Now I dont know what to do because even the e-mails to Krome Australia and Service Centres in Delhi and Mumbai have been ignored. Being in the WARRANTY PERIOD should I drag the dealer in to CONSUMER COURT or is it that the dealer is just washing his hands off telling me lies about Kromes failure n no more service in India? I will be glad to know if Krome still exist... Plllleeeeeease advice me.. Thanks a Lot...

Hi, O2 is made by Compaq and SPY is made by Krome (australian). Australians are the best in pda technology so KROME SPY is the best and the diffrence is that it looks better, it has permanent save feature which saves ur contact and other important data from being erased during power loss of main battery and backup battery (internal) and other small features which O2 mini does not supports..
o2 and krome are not 2 diffrent companies but are manufactured by the same company called HTC.the o2 mini has a company name and its called HTC magician.there are many models based on this model i.e HTC magician. o2,krome,i-mate all are just brand name but there manufactured by HTC. For more details visit mobile-review.com (it has an english version too)

hi friend, as all phones earpeice area has curves for the air to pass but our Krome is just flat and has direct contact with the ear and there is no way for the air to pass and the hear of the ear is transferred so the way is to use hands free kit, speakerphone or to use it with minimum contact with the ear speakerphone can be turned on by press and hold the O.K (GREEN) BUTTON FOR TWO SECONDS DURING THE CALL...

KROME SUCKS!!!
WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE WAS WHEN I BROUGHT THIS OVERPRICED JUNK.
I BROUGHT KROME IQ200 8 MONTHS BACK. IT HAS BEEN WITH THE TECH SUPPORT FOR 3 MONTHS FOR VARIOUS REASONS.
THE SUPPORT COMPANY REDDINGTON HAS EMPLOYED A BUNCH OF ABSOLUTELY INEPT STAFF WHO DO NOT SHOW ANY RESPONSIBLITY, PROFESSIONALISM OR EVEN THE BASICS OF COURTSEY.
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IT THEN YOU CAN BUY MY PHONE AT ROCKBOTTOM PRICE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT MY EMAIL FOR DETAILS.
hi vivek if u want 2 sell ur KROME sell it 2 me for 12,000/- rupees or else u should not sell ur phone due to irresponsible staff as this is the best phone in the market after I-MATE JASJAR.

this product is excellant. spy mobile phone is like a small computer having all latest features. But the staff, mainly technical staff (harish dimri, delhi) of the company is not serious in his work as he has love affair with his married subordinate in the company itself which is not good for the batterment of the company.
Hi, i plan to buy this but i need to know the foll:
1. can i use a foldable key board with the phone, if yes which one & how much?
2. what about a mouse?
The Spy - can hold your information for 2-3 days after the battery is completely dead- but 2 things is very important -
1) The SPY is a microsoft device and u need to sync the data over the air with your microsoft exchange server - ( microsoft has just announced a free windows mobile patch to all MICROSOFT EXCHANGE 2002 USERS - OTHER THAN BUYING 2003 SERVER PACK ) now this is really good news-
2) the other good thing about spy is that is fully tested with all operators in India and has all GPRS and MMS settings - for hutch, airtel,idea, bsnl -- already preloaded.
THIS IS A BIG DIFFERENCE FROM THE O2 MINI DEVICES AVAILABLE LOCALLY IN INDIA- AS I HAD TO STRUGGLE WITH THE GPRS AND MMS SETTINGS - AND MY O2 MINI IS GIVING ME TROUBLE - WITH MMS -
Yup - it does. I should mention here, for the benefit of anyone interested - the SPY, like any Pocket PC device cannot be switched off. Most people who switch from regular cellphones get a rude shock when they realise this. You can put the GSM radio off (Flight Mode) but the device has to be always on to retain data. Infact the unit (like other Pocket PCs) has a spare internal rechargeable battery. All data is usually stored on the RAM which is volatile (it wipes clean on total loss of power, like the RAM in your computer). Therefor the main battery always has to have some charge. When the main battery is taken out (to replace a SIM card for example) the backup battery takes care of the data for 30 minutes (provided it is fully charged). Beyond that all data will be erased (including your contacts, unless of course you store them on the ROM, which is non-volatile. Thank God there is the option - though ROM is severely limited, a majority of ot being taken up by the operating system and various other pre-installed programs.)

I would trust Krome - more than any thing else - as I beleive I-mate and o2 are wrapping up operations in India - and service is going to be a problem with them. - Krome has 36 service centeres and its own corporate office in New delhi

well. yes actually - the name does ring a bell. All these products (including the O2 XDA II, XDA Mini, XDA IIs, i-Mate Jam, i-Mate PDA2k, Krome SPY, Krome IQ200, IQ 700, and Navigator) are manufactured by Taiwan-based HTC (High Tech Computer). You can check their website at www.htc.com.tw.
They are the worlds largest manufacturers of Windows-based mobile devices. The Krome SPY is actually the new avataar of the HTC Magician (the old shape Magician is sold as the XDA Mini, Dopod 818, T-Mobile MDA Compact, i-Mate Jam and Qtek S100 among others). The new shape is sold as the Vodafone VPA Compact, Orange SPV M500 and Krome SPY, to name a few.
Certain specs are missing too - the device has 64MB of RAM and 64MB of ROM. The SDIO slot accepts SD, MMC and IO expansion (like Wi-Fi or GPS cards). Infrared port is available too. The screen has a resolution of 320x240 pixels (standard pocket PC resolution) at 65,000 colours. This means a whole load of pocket PC applications are available from the word 'go'. The operating system is Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC Phone Edition Second Edition (Yes, that's the full name!!) and it has native landscape support in all applications (that means you can hold the device horizontally and vertically while using it)
