Checked this handset about six weeks back at spice outlet. The handset comes with Android 1.6 only and would be loaded with 2.1 at a subsequent date. And there were major issues in making and receiving voice calls. I think Samsung Galaxy 3 (at 2k more) is a much better option.

personal experience. Once I shifted to web-based payment/recharge for my RCDMA numbers, all unauthorised activations stopped.

stop recharging from web worlds. They are the real culprits, not RCom as such. They activate such plans without your consent to achieve their targets.

^^^ The only feasible option for the moment would seem to be a wifi router compatible with USB data cards Else get a tablet device thats EVDO based.

^^^ Website also says GPRS Class 10, which is supposed to be a GSM feature.

^^^ TATA subscribers can convert to EVDO Mobile wifi Router (instead of USB data card) available in the Metro cities with All India roaming and use any tablet on wifi mode.

^^^ This is a built-in HSDPA (GSM 3G) device. EVDO is CDMA based.

I got a normal mechanical watch. HMT Pilot, bought in 1984. Still working perfectly and with precision. Needs winding up daily and oiling once every two years.

Activate Photon+ for mobile. Default tariff : All Outgoing & Roaming incoming : 1p/Sec Data : 50p/MB Special Data Recharge (Validity 30 days) Rs. 110 - 256 MB Rs. 320 - 1 GB Rs. 550 - 2 GB

They now have the Airtel virus

I have actually seen MTS Buzz at a shop in Delhi

I have MTNL 3G prepaid with lifetime validity for base tariff. (1p / 10 KB) Don't think they can change that.

The only one available currently is MTS Buzz (ZTE make). But its not OMH.

its the EVDO version of the HSDPA model H360 which is available with MTNL 3G connections. But H360 has dual camera for video call. I am using H360 for last 10 months. A decent set @ 5.5 K.

MTS-Buzz is ZTE not Micromax and 1x only MTS-Alive is Micromax and EVDO Rev A

I had an Alcatel handset in 2000 to 2004. It had awsome reception and voice clarity and also the option to use 3 AAA alkaline batteries in emergency when the battery is discharged.

why would one invest 5.5 K in a non-3G network locked handset at this point of time?

is it CDMA or GSM ? Since the site refers to GPRS, assume its GSM i.e. DOCOMO network

N93 is not HSDPA, its only 3G, meaning speed is capped at 384 kbps. same is the story for E63 and many other nokia phones. In HSDPA sppeds are upto 3.6 mbps. Get a HSDPA phone for maximum speed over 3G. with Nokia E71, E72, E52, 5230 are some of the HSDPA models.

it does not work with Vista also. only XP versions are supported.

^^^ I want one too. The last time I checked, it was around 7,000.

difference with Reliance simple 99 plan local 30p instead of 50p CUG rental 199 instead of 99 no free sms AND most importantly FREE calls in roaming

^^^ HSBC is still providing movie benefits on Platinum card

a stupid enhancement that will eat up your bandwidth

^^^ white one is Fly Ivory
