1) No, it isn't that bad and many are switching so that they can get access to a wider variety of GSM handsets than CDMA handsets. Since you are getting a top-of-the-chart CDMA handset that shouldn't be a problem. No you cannot switch to a GSM operator with the same handset later. 2) I haven't heard of any issues and many I know are using it.

Thanks a lot anurag! Installed using .apk and is loading fine on HTC Incredible. I was unable to get past the "Create PIN" screen though as it showed unable to process, please try again. Not sure if it has to do anything with ICICI's server at the moment. I think they are restricting it for "CDMA Handsets". "GPRS" is mentioned in the instruction screens and maybe that is causing the PIN activation to fail? It also requires to send an SMS (through the app) for PIN registration. Other options like ATM location search are working fine though on 1x.

Correct, but that is what he said/meant anyway

well an application will be handy as it will be easier to access the information/service with lesser clicks especially if you are on the move with 1x connectivity.

Interesting... CDMA operators do not charge extra for national roaming on EVDO

Not showing up for me either. Checked in Finance - Just in, and searched for imobile as well.

3 months is too much time; is likely to have lost in shipping. I think I got mine in around 1 month's time.

Yes the same site opens in WiFi There is no problem in WiFi It is correct that https sites are not opening Internet is running through proxy setting ie tatazone pack is activated So the proxy might not be supporting secure (https) protocol.

Do the same URLs open in the phone when you use WiFi or not?

Samsung Fascinate, Blackberry 9330, 8530 has been added now.

Note: dkaile wants the porting experience to be posted after you have completed the porting process. So please post after completing your porting process only.

right, working fine for me here in Trivandrum as I tested again now.

Posting this reply through 1x for testing

yeah, I was trying to figure out that now. I am wondering what upload speed is being offered on the 4 mpbs plans. Anyone here on the 4 mbps plans?

TRAI has released a directive on MNP for all providers today: http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/trai/upload/Directives/142/MNPdirective18jan11.pdf In the end of the document it says... "shall come into force in all telecom service areas in the country from 20th January, 2011"

New revised plans look good indeed!

The wimax settings are different is what I have been told, so it may not work.

afaqs! Telecom Yatra New Delhi, December 10, 2010 There has been a lot of hoopla surrounding the launch of 3G services by private operators in India. While Tata Docomo has already launched 3G, other operators will soon follow suit and are currently promoting and advertising their third generation networks. Two operators, Reliance Communications and Airtel, have exhibited their 3G services at the ongoing India Telecom Summit 2010 and these include video calling and live mobile TV. Reliance mobile TV currently has around 60 channels of which 16 are news channels and 32 are regional. Airtel too put up an exhibition of its 3G services. The company's Mobile TV includes 110 channels at present and is growing. Mobile TV enables the transmission of on demand, recorded and live television content to a mobile phone. Mobile operators can either broadcast or stream content to users' handsets. While streaming, low bandwidth causes the mobile TV experience to be hindered if multiple handsets are accessing the same program at the same time. In a normal scenario there are several players who work in the mobile TV business, such as content and broadcast companies, mobile service providers, infrastructure providers, handset manufacturers and technology providers. All these companies work together to enable TV on mobile phones. Neither Airtel nor RCom divulged when they'll launch 3G services. It seems we'll just have to wait and watch.

Have you checked whether any application is draining the battery using "Battery Left"? You can pay using Indian Rupees if you buy through eBay Global Easy Buy: http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ImportHubSearch&qwd=htc+incredible+battery&cid=-1&qbtn=Search I wouldn't prefer extended battery as it increases the size of the handset; if it is fine for you then buy it.

Install "Battery Left" application and check if any application is draining the battery.

How terrible is it for you? Doesn't last for one day with average use?

it must be account locked

well ebay coupons are account locked these days

It must be an issue at TATA Indicom's side as it doesn't happen with Reliance CDMA. Earlier the SMS delivery report did not show delivered with Reliance CDMA for a few months on HTC Hero/Indredible but that issue got resolved later.
