MUMBAI: Sir Richard Branson, the colourful chairman of Virgin Group, decided to hang in front of a five-star hotel here on Sunday, to announce the launch of his brand in India’s mobile phone market. It was, in fact, suggestive of the delicate balance he is trying to achieve with Virgin’s venture in the country, caught as it is in a controversy over its legal status. Sir Richard and his Indian partner went all out to assert that Virgin’s entry in partnership with mobile phone service provider Tata Teleservices is not as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO)—a status not allowed in the country—but through a brand extension plan. And, both said they retain the option to work with other partners as well. “Tata has got the network, we have got the brand.. it makes a win-win for both the companies,” the Virgin chief, dressed in a traditional sherwani, told ET. The deal is a simple franchise arrangement under which Tata will sell part of its services using the Virgin brand and pay per use, he said. Tata officials said their service would now have two brands: Tata Indicom for the mass market and Virgin for the niche youth market. The Virgin-based service would offer the extra zing that young users want, such as music, games and downloads. Virgin and Tata hope the alliance will break even at a user base of 5 million, expected in three years. Mr Branson put the revenue target at Rs 35,000 crore by 2010. Tata Teleservices has lagged competition in India’s growing, but fiercely fought, mobile phone market. It operates in the code division multiple access (CDMA) market, as opposed to the more popular global system for mobile communications (GSM) standard. The group, which has a pan-India-presence serving 22.5 million customers, had a 9.3% market share at the end of January, compared with rival Reliance, which had 17.5%. Under the deal, Tata Teleservices will pay a pre-agreed fee to Virgin for every user buying the youth-focused service. Both, however, refused to give details of the revenue-sharing agreement. Mr Branson said that Virgin would also look to enter into similar arrangements to cater to GSM users in India. “In another nine months, when the new GSM players start rolling out their services, we would look to offer similar services on GSM as well,” he said.

Motorola W755 “features 1x and EVDO for data transmition, a 1.3MP Camera, and a small External Display (same size as the K1m) with Touch-Sensitive buttons located around it for Music playback control, activating the Bluetooth, and changing the Volume settings between Vibrate and Medium-High. The Motorola W755’s hinge is very similar to the LG VX8700 and the MicroSD card slot is located under the battery. Internal Memory is limited to only 80MB.”

dear i dont know as it is not yet launched officially by the motorola. it is leaked info from moto. so wait n watch.

second one is The Nokia 7205 is 1X and EV-DO compatible, has a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a vertical external display similar to the LG VX8700 and the Motorola W385.

First up, is the Nokia 2605 clamshell-phone. It’s roughly 20% short than the Motorola V3c when closed, sporting a pitiful QVGA 320×240 camera, Bluetooth, 25MB of internal memory with option to expand via microSD card slot. It does how ever have a larger external display than the Motorola W755. If the source is correct, the Nokia 2605 only runs on 1X CMDA network.

buhu . . .call dropping has also started more frequent in my area where i had never ever experienced a single call drop in 4 years its enough the DOT is taking lot of time and thus creating hussle and confusion in the air.now india should introduce true technology neutral way by treating CDMA and GSM at par and to create real competition b/w all operators.DOT should not succumbed to the GSM gang.[/font]
