Yes indeed, 910i would be great. But its cost is the hurdle... Ok, Nokia smartphones can run this: Total irRemote To control TV/radio/oven/etc/etc. Bemused is the app for winamp/powerpoint control. Oxygen Phone Manager for messages sending/receiving thru PC. To give just one example of an app incompatible with 7610/6630 - FScaller (full screen caller). Hundreds more apps too hang those phones when installed. The 6630 has the advantage of being 3G compatible - but its being phased out, replaced by the 6681. And hey, another observation i made was that the 3230 was much faster than the 7610/6630, despite lot of apps being installed & memory/MMC being almost filled up. The 3230 does have IR. And a 512 MB DV-RS-MMC compatible with the newer class of phones, would cost you about Rs.1800 in grey market. Lamington Road might give you even lower prices, if you bargain. BTW, you could get a 1 GB (plain) MMC itself, for Rs. 2k, but then you need to do all sorts of fiddling to get it to fit any of the newer phones.
