any news on the launch date?

no.. it was to be done in 2004 itself.. i read the article somewhere around march last year

a few days back, there was a guy in the WW whose v730 stopped working after a day of use. I thought it was a rare incident.

ev-do stands for evolution - data only with peak speeds of 2.5 mbps. RIC was supposed to launch it in a phased manner from aug-2004 to dec 2004. I guess it will only be done after the new spectrum policy is announced which will be done within 10 days.

i tihnk its one of the ugliest interface's ive ever seen

Does Nokia 6255 work in RIL network or not ? Can someone from RIL give a clear answer . This phone sure is good in features . 24193[/snapback] Let it launch first. Its not been launched in any part of the world yet. I've asked some1 in nokia to find out when it will be launched here. If i get any info, i'll post it .

For those who can't afford an Ipod, here is a chance to own one. The new ipod - 'ipod shuffle' comes in 2 variants 512mb and 1 gb starting at $99. The 1gb model is for $149. The downside is that it doesn't have an lcd screen. Its size is smaller than a pack of gum. Some pics are given below.

as far as i know.. the cdma operators are on 800mhz and gsm are on 900 & 1800 mhz.

i think he means the phone browser. The browser in rd2030 is called 'jbrowser' by jataayu software. I dont know about other phones. mine is version 1.5.1

it will also enable reliance to upgrade their network to ev-do as the current spectrum allocated doesn't seem sufficient for upgradation.

it's to be launched in new zealand in feb also.. so it must be a global launch since no country has launched it yet!

January 7, 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Delhi: Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has issued directives to Tata Teleservices and Reliance Infocomm for withdrawing advertisements for fixed wireless services as 'Walky' and 'Unlimited Cordless' respectively. The Authority is of the view that referring the fixed wireless phone service as 'Walky' and 'Unlimited Cordless' conveys the impression to potential customers that the facility provided is similar to mobile service when actually fixed wireless services are offered. The operators have been directed to file a compliance report in this regard with the Authority by January 13. TRAI has directed the two private operators to withdraw from the market all promotional material, including banners, brochures, information sheets. The Interconnect Usage Charges and Access Deficit Charge regime provide different treatment for calls from mobile and fixed services, including wireless fixed, it said adding such corrections shall also be made in the relevant content of the website of the operators concerned. "Whereas it has been brought to the notice of the Authority that Tata Teleservices (Tata Indicom) have advertised their fixed wireless service as Walky with the slogan 'freedom of mobility at landline rates', the TRAI is of the view that the said advertisement with the said slogan is misleading as consumers are led to believe that mobile services are offered when actually fixed wireless services are offered", the directive to Tatas said. The directive to Reliance Infocomm said "whereas it has been brought to the notice of the Authority that Reliance Infocomm Ltd. is claiming to give 'Unlimited Cordless' in their fixed wireless telephony services, the TRAI is of the view that referring the fixed wireless phone service as Unlimited Cordless conveys the impression to potential customers that the service provided is similar to mobile service when actually fixed wireless services are offered."
