Maybe but RIM is still cheaper... for those who have the earlier schemes then it is Rs. 75 to Rs. 200, depending on your base tariff plan for UNLIMITE RIM to RIM in Maharashtra & Goa. For those who take it now charge is the same for 1000 mins.... so its still cheaper... i heard the RAZR is coming in at around 12k... NOT WORTH IT....

Hey, I have just joined this forum... I do agree with Manish on most of the things having gone thru all the same problems and more... But I have to say that RIM does offer an excellent network and its call rates are some of the cheapest... though the free roaming is to end this month. They are going to charge 25 bucks a month for national roaming... I do agree it is not worth spending on the current crop of CDMA phones coz u get much more value for money in GSM phones for the same amount.... BUT for those of us who have the old ON-NET pack which lets u call RIM to RIM free in your circle, its great...i mean the charges... I pay 125/- per month for calling free RIM to RIM in Maharashtra!! But i still would not go for a RAZR unless the price is not more than 6k... definitely not buying it if it does not have xtended memory cards etc... I use a Samsung Boss coz its one of the sleekest handsets, super tough and good memory... I use RIM for making free RIM to RIM calls... my whole office in on it.... and it has cut down my bills from around 2k to around 650/- and i satisfy my cravings for super gadgets coz i have a GSM connection also and use a 9300 all in all CDMA has a long way to go before the prices are similar to GSM...
