I have used reliance gsm (smart), it has poor services and coverage presently. Balance is not deducted immediatly so you cant make std call below 50/- may be they will update it. Reliance will certainly save its existing customers by expanding coverage but i dont think it will get much customers in other already saturated areas.

Speed in gprs connection depends upon many factors, like no. of users under your BTS, signal strength etc. I am getting ~15MB data transfer at an average in one hour in browsing. If i download using download manager, it goes upto 18MB. I am using bsnl gprs via BT. and previously when bsnl u/l plan was 350/- pm, there was not too many users in my area, as airtel is providing u/l gprs @100/- pm

I am using it on my pc via bluetooth, so it is possible.

Yes, by any of above method. Charges: post paid:200/- unlimited or 50+0.01/KB (5MB free) prepaid:0.02 per KB speed: ~40kbps

What are the charges? Rs 0.50/min? Its too high for browsing on PDA/mobile. as you can not fully utilize speed. R-connect charges should be lower. In gprs you can get unlimited plan for 100- 200/- pm. R-connect charges should be volume based, with unlimited plan under 500/-. Further RIM should provide full wap/web access with download facility under R-surf.

I forgot to mention: in gprs enabled handsets we can browse full internet. is there any way to do it on RIM handsets? PS: i have made this post from my mobile with bsnl gprs

i was browsing wap using LG6130, i could not open midi files or wallpapers from wap sites. is it this set's problem or all RIM sets have same restriction? when i use GSM hand set with GPRS, i can download midi, jpg, 3gp, jar, sis or any content from wap sites (or even from web sites), does any set from RIM support this? if not then reliance R-surf is crap. as these days you can find a lot of stuff free on web and wap sites, why to pay RIM for downloading ringtones and viedeos?
