For Bangalore XX is 19, it seems to b working.

Please ref http://192.220.122.83/upcoming_models.aspx. Only Free 512 MB Memory card seems to be new.

As per CC clarification today, SMS to 9773300000 will be treated as 3rd party SMS & will be charged Rs 3. each , but Google link says "There are no premium charges for this service, only the cost of sending a standard SMS. Incoming messages from Google are not charged" . Does ' standard SMS' means "local', any clarification ?. Obviously, these SMS s will not be included in any 'free' SMS quota. http://www.google.co.in/mobile/default/sms/

One simple reason for sticking to Reliance is, at least in the bigining, it provided better reception in our area/working place, compared to other networks.

^^^ It seems LG3100 what s available in market is nearly one year old stock, so, to that extent it s shelflife will be less. Also one of LG s warranty limitation for battery is '....12 months from the date of mfg ....'. Though, LG may be bit liberal with this clause, better to buy from more recent stock or buy LG3600 which came to market later.

^^^ Ple check the Spice link http://www.spice-mobile.com/ServiceCenterLocator.aspx One M/s Hotspot.... Ph No 08060005566 is listed as service centre.

^^^ It seems CC itself gets new info later than public/press. I sympthacise with CC agent, he just gives the info he gets form his monitor, 'lazy'/ overenthusiastic agent may give incomplete/wrong info. When I checked with CC about Google SMS, agent fist simply said NO info. It s good to know that there is some official/semi official (?) responce thro a'r.world' member.

^^^ Thanks for the 'correct' info. Mumbai circle customers will benifit most, for others its std SMS & not a premium SMS. Is it because RIM SMS servers are located in Mumbai ? OR another way of improving revenue.

Full features in the SPICE link 1)' Open market dual GSM + CDMA handset which is technically superior and equipped with Reliance, TATA & Virgin settings. Insert any CDMA SIM Card & handset automatically detects its settings'. 2)D-88 GOLD will work as a Remote Control: 'Ever dreamt of a mobile that could also operate as a remote for your computer or laptop? With the D-88 Gold, your dream is now a reality! Thanks to the integrated HID technology, the D-88 Gold empowers you to operate your PowerPoint presentations and Multimedia files – all at the touch of a button, and that too, without being tied to your workstation ' http://www.spice-mobile.com/model_fer_D88gold.aspx

Yes sir, you will get the same no for your new handset. Whole process of activation takes about 30 min. ID proof is required.

^^'chandannasta' You may need to change the LG2030 handset to have 'new' basic feature like FMradio, betterSMS software,colour, & to avoid 'strange-looks' of onlookers ! Replacement set need not be costly, check LG3600(~ Rs 1700 ).

I understand that in USA depending on the network, Motorazr2 is available in 4-5 different versions. 9m is one such version.

I think they won't. No Rsurf info, as it will affect their other RWORLD revenue (for which the user pays). So its purely commercial mindset !

@ FEVIN-RAJ. Does LG6600 has RSURF ? If not, can one connect to internet thro' an application.

@ Arun Kumar. as per the same BS news item, to be on par with CDMA tarrifs, RCOM GSM prices will be 30% less compared to others. So it's good news for both GSM & RCOM users.

Pl note NSE,unlike BSE ,do'nt have WAP site. So U have to go thro' a trading account or an application. Nokia 6275 & other new hand sets have such facility.

U may visit Tata Indicom "True Value Shopee' or any of their big outlets.

No such facility in LG2030, so not posible.

As per Business Standard 19.10.2007 ADAG has obtained DOT approval for GSM & has payed Rs 1650 crs. GSM roll out in all circles, up from7,may start in about 6 weeks.

But, like Yahoo now Rediff wap portal is also blocked !

GOOD NEWS ! R Surf is back, without any addtional features.

Pl provide LG handset details ,mid range, with R connect. Thanks.

Today CC via email inform me that RSURF application has been 'UNDEPLOYED'(i.e. DELETED) from RWORLD, email(ed) attached here with for info. a.txt
