Fly Ivory is a Win-Mo 6.1 Dual SIM GSM (2G) and EVDO Rev.A handset http://www.flyphone.in/products/IVORY.html?model_name=IVORY ZTE Buzz is possibly ZTE GC 990 - GSM/CDMA qwerty - but CDMA 1x only (As per GSM Arena the GSM version - X990 is Win Mo 6.5 based, but no idea about this one) No idea about Micromax Alive

^^^ Try to get an AMEX card. Nobody will refuse to issue a card to an AMEX holder. But if you already have a Signature card, why bother about what Kotak does.

^^^ Are you aware of the present extent of EVDO coverage? its way way beyond the metros.

kindly check it out showing error.... seems yahoo had made some changes in the server name. revised server names Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: in.pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995) * Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: in.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication) also you may need to shift to classic mail version.

SBI Card is not the product of the Bank. It is a product of a NBFC - SBI Card Services Limited. As such, it is beyond the purview of the Banking Ombudsman and the issuer is well known in taking full advantage of this and making profit at the cost of consumers. They are called Secured Credit Cards. Issued normally in case of consumers who do not satisfy the standard credit evaluation process. Such cards carry lesser rate of interests. Credit limit is generally offered upto 80% of FD value.

The STD facility was provided as default to existing BSNL numbers which were not on special tariff plans, when they started the One India plans. The General Plan which is applicable to most BSNL Landlines has One India plan and therefore also has STD facility. At that time BSNL requested users who did not want the STD facility to give an application to that effect.

^^^ except Delhi and Mumbai (as per their website)

seems other than EVDO Rev.A nothing much is great about this handset. Samsung, though with EVDO Rev.0, seem to be a better option.

TATA Photon Plus Mobile EVDO postpaid/prepaid is officially available on the following handsets with offer of 2 GB for 550 per month * Samsung Corby TV * Samsung Metro * BlackBerry Tour 9630 * LG 510 Cookies Zip * BlackBerry Curve 8530 http://www.tataphoton.com/tata-photon-on-mobile.aspx

^^^ yatra.com/ezeego1.com/makemytrip.com etc are many times not showing the latest availability position. Further, I found that they generally do not show Special trains. For all trains from Delhi there is an in-built option in irctc "New Delhi - All Stations". similar options are also available for Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai etc.

primary link for all CDMA prepaid details http://bsnl.co.in/service/wll_tariffcard_pre.htm

because ezeego is merely acting as an agent of irctc. the main backend booking is done through irctc system only.

irctc charges and credit card charges are levied by irctc and the payment gateway. if you are booking at irctc using net banking of certain banks, the credit card charge becomes nil.

The above plans are for non-HSIA (read EVDO) handsets only

As per their website TATA is also offering 2GB for 550 on HSIA (Corby / LG 510 etc) handsets as a special offer. Anybody having experience of activating EVDO with TATA? Given the difficulties faced with Reliance, shifting to TATA may be a better option then.

waiting for RCDMA to react to TATA

^^^ Yes. That is correct. Just make sure that in phone's bluetooth profile DUN (Dial Up Networking) is activated/selected

I found the nimbuzz app to be extremely buggy and prone to crash.

The yahoo.co.in based mail IDs have free POP3/SMTP for more than five years now. * Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop3.mail.yahoo.co.in (Use SSL, port: 995) * Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.in (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication) * Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the “@yahoo.co.in”) * Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., user@yahoo.co.in) * Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password In your Yahoo A/c, under Options>Mail Options>POP3 and Forwarding the setup should also be complete.

^^^ This is DATA only option and can not be used for voice. The prepaid version has both voice and data.

Not correct both are worthless sets EVDO coverage is far more than 3G at present. and 1x speeds are much better than EDGE

If Airtel asks for 700/mth for 3G services in Delhi, people will switch to MTNL which is already offering 3G to all customers at no extra cost

As per Manual attached, its a OMH based handset. so why three different service provider linked handsets?

There are several buy/sell threads on this forum offering HCC cards, and some of them from persons associated with Webworlds. Which means that they are still operational.

I think there is some option in GSM phones. I have seen this in one of my associate's phone where his phone(with GPS) was showing on google maps the location of various persons (with GSM numbers only). He said there is an error margin of 1000 mts (i.e. 1 KM)
