I have a Nokia 6300 Phone. Now I m planning to get a new connection which can serve for both, less STD charges and good speed internet connection.

So for which plan shud I go????????

Someone told me that Airtel provides a good unlimited Browsing/Downloading internet plan and also low STD rates.

Need more suggestions............

Also I m planning to buy a new System for me with a good configuration.
I need a configuration which provides extreme gaming and nice development work as I m a Software Engineer working with Dot NET(VS 2005). Also I will install Vista & Linux on it as needed.

Also I need a good music system with it + good quality headphones +

My budget is around 40-45K

As I think, I shud go for a Desktop PC as it can be upgraded & also I can get a high configuration for such budget but my friends suggested me to go for a Laptop as I m Software Engineer.

I m confused :confused: so need some good suggestions.......

OK, I have extended my budget to 65K and in that I have opted for DELL 1520 or HP dv6500, in both I can configure according to my requirements.

In DELL 1520 I will get

P-4 Core2duo 1.8 GHz
120/160 GB HDD
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA 8700 256MB Card


but in HP 6500 I m getting many things like........

P-4 Core2duo 2.4 GHz
250 GB HDD
NVIDIA 8400 383MB Card
Webcam, FingerPrint Reader, Microphone
All in One Printer (Optinal)


I m in Bangalore now and I asked at one showroom, they told me that HP 6500 is not available in India.

So anyone can help me to decide what to do??????????
