DileepKS

Thanx copper. (Stoopid Question Alert!) Does the local mobile stores carry CDMA products? The Friends and relatives I talk to respond as if CDMA doesn't exist. "Reliance? You go to their shop!" they say.

Hmm. Had no idea . The USA online stores are much cheaper than street in my experience. I was researching phone service/equipment for my upcoming move to India. CDMA is the choice primarily because of availability of Internet access. I faced difficulty in researching handsets because of very limited online price info. Got to get hooked up within a few days of arrival, so not much time to look around there.

There are a number of online stores like fabmall, futurebazaar etc that sell GSM stuff. But not much of CDMA stuff are available online. Apart from eBay, I have seen only Rediff offering CDMA handsets. Is there anybody else?

There is no details on the BSNL site about the service. Is it available only in big metros? Or is it nationwide? Do they sell handsets like Reliance? Is it the same as the "Tarang" service that has one pathetic page on the website?

Pardon the stoopid question, but what is the diff between 6275 and 6275i? Nokia site mentions 6275i and reliance/tata says 6275. USer manual of 6275i says no RUIM and 6275 says RUIM. If Nokia is selling 6275i themselves, how does that work without RUIM?
