^^^ it should be called "in touch with fantasy"

Now there would be counter offers to retain customers also.

No information in main BSNL website. BSNL Chennai and BSNL Kolkata are treated as separate profit centres and has certain level of independence in offering of tariffs. So this offer could be limited to Chennai circle only.

People try to cross the tracks even when there are over bridges, People hang at the doors or get on to the roof instead of waiting for the next train, People jump level crossings, all just to save a few minutes. What really comes out of all the information above is that the life in Mumbai have become so mechanical and fast that every day 10 persons are committing suicide in Railway properties and people of Mumbai have become so insensitive that they no longer even care.

which are the circles in which IDEA has 3G licence

Reliance Myservices scores above others on these issues

what is so great about the tariff? all freebies seem to be one time only whereas the adverts would be applicable for lifetime.

And that too non-standard proprietary samsung socket.

Calling Sam Pitroda in this Place is like Punishing him on a Dirty Place. hehe Sam Pitroda is currently advisor in the Planning Commission. He can serve the country better in that position than being a Minister.

and no information about the battery back-up

BlackBerry Pearl 8230 Reliance CDMA Handset is also available @7,990 link Further they are also offering additional discount voucher of Rs.435 (effective discount) through www.snapdeal.com discount link As they are mentioned to be Reliance CDMA sets, would it be possible to activate EVDO on them?

Video calls @ 5p/sec. Costly. On MTNL (Delhi) it costs 1p/sec.

and even higher radiation levels

^^^ So do MTNL, BSNL, MTS, TATA Indicom and any other Indian service provider offering Mobile TV. But Full version Apalya software is not compatible with Android and Android users would have to be satisfied with a stripped down version available in the Android Market.

Spice has launched an Android based 3G handset as the first one of the new series called "Connected Spice Life”. It will be available exclusively through Spice Hotspot outlets. It comes preloaded with modified proprietary apps. Introductory price 9990. Features: Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset, Android 2.1, 3.2 inch touch screen HVGA capacitive display, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and capable of recording 720p HD videos, 3G (HSPA enabled), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v2.0, GPS with AGPS support, FM, Google Mobile Services, Push Mail, accelerometer, Bluetooth, a proximity sensor, MS Office document viewer, Micro SD Support Capacity upto 32 GB (Phone Memory 156 MB). official link http://www.spiceglobal.com/SpiceMobiles/Model.aspx?Id=167 would it be a good handset to go for?

^^^ The handset comes with Andriod 1.6 But anyone with only basic knowledge of Internet and practically no knowledge of Smartphone or Anroid would be able to download and upgrade to 2.1 in about 20 mins. I have seen the handset in operation with MTNL 3G connection. The user was himself able to successfully upgrade to 2.1 the day of purchase. It does not have video call facility. But after installing Skype, it is possible to do Skype VOIP and Skype Out calls directly (I have seen Skype not working in some other handsets). GPS also seems to work well with the location of the handset showing in the Map fairly correct. Spice has now increased the official price to Rs. 10500 The build quality seems a little doubtful though.

The current week is being observed by the CVC, Govt of India and all organisations under the purview of GoI as the "Vigilance Awareness Week". The SMS is sponsored by the GoI. Similar SMS have been also sent from other operators.

^^^ I'm registered with the DNC since 2007. I still get unwanted calls, mainly from the so called employees of RCom (who are more likely over active RWorld employees).

Is it possible to install third party JAVA apps on this handset?

^^^ Guru B559 seems to be a better option given the price advantage and battery backup

how do you connect to the internet? Home Broadband/USB data card/through office server/any other?

Thanks. That was great information.

what is the difference with Spice Mi300. Or are they both same Chinese set branded differently?

ok. do you need to load it through the phone only or can load through PC. but what & how good is a phone that gives difficulty in the basic function of making and receiving calls
