Thanks, Srikanth.
I would love to hear from someone who uses a high end phone, and I can promise
it would be a very interesting conversation that would help provide a better
user experience for everyone who reads and edits Wikipedia on the phone :)

Heya guys, I think somebody like hari Prasad, Anoopan, or somebody with a
high end phone, [Android/BlackBerry/iPhone/Nokia Eseries] et all, get in
touch with Mani as that segment was completely left out by me, when we had
our conversation.

Hoi Mani,
I am now subscribed on a gentlemen on twitter that expressed really
interesting and imho relevant observations about telephony and web sites in
India.
http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2010/10/about-foss-and-telephony-in-india.html
The remarks are quite strong and are not limited to India. I would love to
know a WMF reaction on this.
Thanks,

Hi Everyone,
I am still looking for participants for the study on Wikipedia usage on the
mobile phone. I am relaxing the criteria for recruitment, and I am hoping
more Wikipedians will qualify for the study. If you read Wikipedia on the
phone (English and Indic languages) or have edited any Wikipedia on the
phone in the last one year, please email me at mpa...@wikimedia.org. Only
readers are also welcome :) I prefer folks who read Indic languages on the
phone.
It is really important that we conduct this study to provide the right kind
of user experience to Wikipedia readers and editors in India on a mobile.
Also, we need to understand user needs, experiences and pain points to help
Wikipedia grow in India. So please email me back, if you are willing to
participate in the study.
I would ideally like to conduct the interviews over Skype, and it would take
about an hour. I have provided some details of the study, please see below.
Thanks in advance
Mani
