Nope. They use different frequencies, bandwith, codecs, transmittion technologies, receiving technologies etc etc etc. Moreover while GSM is open source so to speak - CDMA is proprietary stuff and will only work with Qualcomm processors.

The DAPO scheme announced there wouldn't be any ISP charges... Soon enough RIM started charging 200 bucks/month for R Connect (isn't this illegal!) apart from per minute/mb charges! But they offered discounts - free for people who registered by Aug 15 2003 & 100 bucks a month for after Aug 15 till sometime in Nov 2003. The offer was to continue till June 2004. Is this offer now closed? Or has it been extended? When will the introduce more reasonable internet tarrifs! They should be able to offer unlimited downloads @ Rs. 700-900 easily! If the can make night surfing free for the FWP, why can't they do the same for mobile users?

it works just fine on my samsung 563 & my old samsung 191.... if i remember correctly voice ringtones dont work on the LG b/w model so HAH!

yeah many gprs phones support cable connections to a computer through which you can the surf the net using gprs. however the speed there isnt quite as fast or the price quite as expensive as RIM....

yeah the new site is better and brighter! but there hasn't been much change in the content/presentation!

Chirag, How much time/money does the upgrade cost?

thanks for the info chandra - i have the same version!!! can't understand why that thing doesnt work for me! im on win 2k & bitpim .7 test 10. Can you send me the link for bitpim that you are using. have you downloaded it from sourceforge? i dont know why that should matter?

Chandra i cannot connect my 563 using bitpim!!! tried v.62, 7.10test & 7.15!!! Whats your phone PRL & software, hardware versions???

The 563 accepts MA2 & MA3 formats. Never heard of them myself! I tried with Bitpim .7-15 & .7 test 10 neither worked! Look for MA2 & MA3 converters and let me know if you've been able to upload. Are you using the Windows version of Bitpim??? what about the cable? is it the 1200 bucks reliance rip off or the 100 bucks local market stuff?? im on the 100!

I think the ringtones are stored in mmf format. perhaps you can try that!

tried with bitpim .7-15 - didn't work!

how about if i want to upgrade my samsung a563 to a camera model!!! when will an upgrade scheme for that be available!

1GB vs 2MB wheres the competition. Plus Gmail loads faster. No popus. No ads in your email!

Haven't seen this tarrif offer on their site as yet. Is it a rumour/to-be-implemented or is this scheme available?

RIM Prepaid doesn't have any rental and charges Rs 1/min access charge!

nice buildings but we need more pics of their signal towers!!! those are the things that are really hard to find!!!

how can fwp be slower? it works on the same technologies and infrastructure!

yeah as long as you registered before its fine (till 30 June 2004)!

they don't have to provide pop access! they just have to wap enable gmail. i tried accessing gmail through google (which has built in wap converters) but google failed with an error message. i think httpS has something to do with it!

Reliance to launch EvDO services NEERAJ SAXENA TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 2004 11:03:50 AM ] <duplicate of above post>

And this comes as a big surprise to all of us!

Fair enough - City etc is right. Therefore we should ban the following discussions and activities: 1. Bitpim and downloading/uploading ringtones & logos! 2. Field Code keys 3. AKEY codes etc etc Arent they illegal/immoral as well. Because not only do they access "restricted/secured" portions of information they also violate music/pictures copyright laws! Arun you should take them off ASAP!

Well I did a similar upgrade and I sat in Web World till about 9p.m. manually entering each entry (about 200 odd) when I upgraded from the N191 to the A563. Learnt my lesson. If you have a data cable - its the simplest - you can upload the old phone contents to a software and download it to the new phone. Of course I don't know if there's any software available that supports both LG & Samsung phones! You can try FutureDial SnapSync though!

uhuh and at 500 bucks a month too

Tata Tele to switch to 10-digit mobile number from June PTI[ MONDAY, MAY 31, 2004 05:31:08 PM ] NEW DELHI: The erstwhile WLL mobile users of Tata Teleservices will get 10-digit number with effect from June 4 to begin with Andhra Pradesh followed by Karnataka and in other circles in the subsequent week. "For our AP circle, the change to the 10-digit number will start from June 4 or June 3 mid-night while for Karnataka circle, the changeover will be from June 7 midnight or June, 8," Amit Bose, president, telecom, Tata Teleservices told here. For the remaining circles, the changeover to the 10-digit numbering will happen by June 15, he said. Tata Teleservices and Reliance Infocomm were earlier asked by the Department of Telecom to switch over to a 10-digit number from the current eight digit number by March 31, 2004 but due to operational glitches, this was not possible. All operational glitches including agreement with BSNL have been reached for the smooth switchover, Bose said. In December last year, in a letter to the then secretary, DoT, Vinod Vaish, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India had recommended 10-digit numbers as a follow-up of the unified access services licence migration. TTSL and Reliance had migrated to the Unified licensing regime. Other regional players who had switched over will also have new 10-digit numbers. TRAI, in its letter, had stated that numbering scheme for full mobility, provided by the existing basic telecom operators who have migrated to Unified Access Service Licence should be at the same level as that of GSM operators. The numbering of GSM players start with 98. When's RIM doing this!
