As Dr Mufaddal is vouching for this handset, it can be blindly relied on Dr Mufaddal : any kind of short coming in this phone ? Eagerly waiting for this beauty !

Are you still hopeful that they will come up something good for CDMA ?

^^ you can install it using any file explorer program. You need to intall the .jar file. Then you can launch the application by going to Start -> Programs -> Java -> Applications -> as mentioned by manish.

You cannot do the calculation like this, GPRS charges mentioned by you are for "/10kb", so even if you use 2kb at one instance, you will be charged 10 paisa for it. So you need to the instance of usage alongwith the total usage

Good Feature !!! Can anyone tell me how to get this on android device?

Android 1.6r1 arrives ! (Support for CDMA !!!) Today, Google bowed the next version of Android, its mobile operating system. "Donut" is the name given to this version of Android, which is otherwise known as 1.6. New features? You betcha. Android 1.6 brings support for CDMA phones, more screen resolutions, more APIs, better camera software and improved device search. Dr Dobbs talks with with Claudia Backus, Senior Director of Ecosystem Programs at Motorola, regarding the company's recently released MotoDEV Studio for their Android-powered phones. Android 1.6 -- a.k.a. "Donut" -- is where things really start to get juicy. Google dropped Android 1.5. ("Cupcake") back in April. Donut brings a wealth of improvements to the Android fold. The most notable change in this version of Android is that the platform now supports CDMA devices. Why is this important? It means the recently announced HTC Hero, which lands at Sprint next month, will have to have Android 1.6. Other new features include support for multiple screen resolutions, adding QVGA and WVGA. This gives hardware makers a bit more flexibility when it comes to crafting Android hardware. Other new features include gesture APIs and a new text-to-speech engine. Developers will get access to Android 1.6. today. The rest of the world needs to wait until October, which is when Google promises that Android 1.6 devices will be ready for the market. The Android Developers site details some of the changes below: Quick Search Box for Android Android 1.6 includes a redesigned search framework that provides a quick, effective, and consistent way for users to search across multiple sources—such as browser bookmarks & history, contacts, and the web—directly from the home screen. The system constantly learns which search results are more relevant based on what is clicked. So popular contacts or apps that have previously been picked will bubble up to the top when a user types the first few letters of a relevant query. The search framework also provides developers a way to easily expose relevant content from their applications in Quick Search Box. Camera, Camcorder, and Gallery An updated user interface provides an integrated camera, camcorder, and gallery experience. Users can quickly toggle between still and video capture modes. Additionally, the gallery enables users to select multiple photos for deletion. Android 1.6 also provides a much faster camera experience. Compared to the previous release, launching the camera is now 39% faster, and there is a 28% improvement in the time from completing one shot to the next. VPN, 802.1x A new Virtual Private Network (VPN) control panel in Settings allows users to configure and connect to the following types of VPNs: L2TP/IPSEC pre-shared key based VPN L2TP/IPsec certificate based VPN L2TP only VPN PPTP only VPN Battery usage indicator A new battery usage screen lets users see which apps and services are consuming battery power. If the user determines that a particular service or application is using too much power, they can take action to save the battery by adjusting settings, stopping the application, or uninstalling the application. Accessibility Users will be able to download new accessibility services built on the new accessibility framework and enable them in Settings.

Now, SMS alerts from banks and airlines for a price You may soon have to pay for your mobile alerts from banks and airlines which you currently get for free. Free and bulk SMS providersin India like SMSGupshup, MyToday, Way2SMS say that industry is up for disruptions even as large operators like Airtel, Idea, Tata Teleservices have entered into interconnect agreements which allow for a 10-15 paise charge on each SMS to be paid to the network which has received them. Currently, bulk text messages are sold for as low as 4-5 paise per SMS, and costs might go up to 20 paise per SMS if operators start charging 10-15 paise for termination (the network receiving the SMS). At present, free text messages are used by banks, travel operators, airlines, hotels and restaurants to alert consumers about their ticket bookings, bank accounts, or new offers. Health departments in many states have also started using the service to spread awareness about swine flu. Many coastal states use free SMS to send disaster warnings to citizens. Many panchayats use it to spread awareness about new crops or cattle health. The result. Free text messages may become paid in many services for consumers. On the other hand, it may impact the fledgling Rs 70-crore text message marketing industry. Besides, consumers may get less marketing text messages too. Says Abhijit Saxena, CEO of Netcore Solutions and provider of MyToday brand of free news, stocks and sports SMS feeds: "The agreements between operators like these may completely wipe the free SMS industry out. It's a disruptive thing and there is no way we could be profitable by providing an SMS at 20 paise. Free SMS alerts may become paid with these agreements." Companies like Netcore operate on an advertising revenue-based model for survival, where in a free SMS is inserted by a text ad. Hyderabad-based V V Raju, CEO of Way2SMS, one of the largest free SMS service provider with over 50 lakh subscribers, also feels the move would adversely impact the fledgling industry. "However, he feels that VAS providers will have to enter into deals separately with operators now," Way2SMS also provides free email alerts via SMS on mobile phones. An SMSGupshup official, however, said that they were deeply concerned and were redesigning their strategy because of this move by the operators last month. Many companies under the Internet and Mobile Association of India are planning to approach the telecom regulator Trai to regulate the operators. "We are going to fight it out with Trai as our members are affected by it. Levying high interconnect SMS charges will impact the industry," says Subho Ray, president, IAMAI. But it might not bear too much fruit as regulations allow interconnect charges. Says telecom consulting firm BDA Connect's Kunal Bajaj: "Currently, SMS interconnect charges are under forebearance by Trai which means operators can charge any amount for termination. On the one hand, large operators might gain in the short term from this move. But in the long run, they may lose as it will wipe out the free SMS industry." In contrast, an official from a large operator said that it is unfair for VAS industry to say that they should not pay up if they are using our network. On the other hand, many in the VAS industry suggest that interconnect charges should remain low at 1-2 paise to allow for profitability. Says Mobile marketing association's India co-Chair Rajiv Hirnandani: "Already, marketing through industry was ailing with regulations like Do Not Disturb. This move will impact it more." Currently, the SMSes which you get on the mobile have two letters pre-fixed to them. For instance, a 'TM' message might mean that it is sent from Tata Tele Maharashtra. Source : Economic Times

I have been to the similar situation when I have to re-activate my mobile number. My suggestion : Write a complaint on paper, with all details, then submit this only to the Manager of the webworld,. taking acknowledgment of the complaint. I am sure that before acknowledging the complaint, he/she will personally investigate what exactly has happened and it will help to resolve the issue. In my case, the manager has given his personal mobile no to me with a deadline of 24 hrs for resolving the case and indeed it got resolved in 24 hrs. Summary : Start communicating in writing with these people.....
