Today Nokia announced the launch of Dual SIM Nokia X1-01.These phones offer a Dual SIM experience superior to any other models on the market, remembering the settings for up to five different SIM cards and with no compromise on battery life, music features or messaging. Nokia X1-01 is inexpensive phones that offer an exceptionally long battery life. That’s up to 43 days standby time and 13 hours talk time on the Nokia X1-01 – or 36 hours if you choose to play music solidly. The Nokia C2-00 offers a still-gigantic 19.2 days standby time, with 5.75 hours talk time. Both devices are aimed at developing markets where, often, a steady and reliable power supply isn’t yet a reality. The daily top-up that many smartphone users in other regions have become used to isn’t always an option in some parts of the world. Nokia X1-01 Nokia X1-01 is offer a Dual SIM experience superior to any other models on the market, remembering the settings for up to five different SIM cards – and with no compromise on battery life, music features or messaging. The Nokia X1-01 is a music machine, as evidenced by the massive speaker on the back, which can deliver up to 106 phon. A phon is a unit of perceived loudness. If you have 106 of them in a mobile device, it’s loud enough to serve as a makeshift home-entertainment system. The speaker has also been specially tuned so that there’s little distortion, even when turned up to eleven. The Nokia X1-01 has in fact got the loudest and clearest speaker Nokia has ever produced! The device offers support for up to 16GB of storage using the SD card slot – enough for thousands of songs on board. It offers an FM radio, of course, and also an MP3 music player with dedicated music keys and one-click creation of a favourite playlist. The 3.5mm AV jack can be used to plug the output into headphones or even louder speakers. The Nokia X1-01 also has a flashlight on the top. That’s a useful feature for anyone, but especially so if you can’t rely on the power supply or where civic lighting doesn’t exist. In addition to remembering the settings for up to five separate SIM cards, the Nokia X1-01 also lets you give each SIM its own logo, music signature or ringtone. Nokia C2-00 The Nokia C2-00 offers a number of additional features. The main one is the way the SIM cards are arranged, offering Easy Swap, a feature that’s only on offer from Nokia. One SIM card is stored internally, like a traditional phone. The second card is easily accessible through a slot in the side – so you don’t have to open or even switch the phone off to change SIMs. This is especially useful for people who want to use more than two SIMs, such as if the phone was to be shared between different members of a family, a group of friends or various community members, for example. While the Nokia X1-01 runs the Series 30 operating system, the Nokia C2-00 runs Series 40, which offers some key advantages in the form of internet access, a web browser and Nokia Messaging for email. The Nokia C2-00 also sports a VGA camera and allows for MMS messaging. There’s support for up to 32GB of storage using an SD card, allowing users to carry thousands of photos, videos and music files. In selected markets, the two phones will be offered with Ovi Life Tools: bringing news, market prices, entertainment, health advice and education services to people who are likely to find it difficult to get these things in other ways. The Nokia X1-01 and Nokia C2-00 will ship this quarter in India, China, South-East Asia/Pacific region, Middle East and Africa, Eurasia and Brazil. Before local taxes or subsidies, the X1-01 will cost €34 while the C2-00 will cost €45. Source:- http://telecomtalk.info/nokia-launches-new-dual-sim-phone-nokia-x101/67209/#more-67209

Virgin Mobile India, a JV between Tata Tele (TTSL) and Virgin Group which started in 2008 has come to an end as Virgin Group is planning to exit from the venture. TTSL will buy the shares of Virgin Group and will sell their services under Virgin brand. For that TTSL will pay to Virgin Group for brand royalty. Still spokesperson of both TTSL and Virgin India did not comment on this. It is also not clear for how much Tata is buying Virgin’s share in the JV. It is expected TTSL will buy the share in phased manner. Virgin Mobile chose wrong operator -it made entry into India partnering TTSL in March, 2008.That time TTSL was offering mobile services only on CDMA as Tata Indicom. Tata Indicom has no circles where it is positioned 1st or 2nd or 3rd as per subscriber base. Virgin Mobile chose wrong technology – CDMA while it targets youth population. CDMA is not a preferred technology for youth as to be a Virgin one need to get a CDMA handset. Virgin did not introduce any great CDMA handset which can attract youths. Also limited choice of CDMA handsets keeps people to be a Virgin. Virgin Mobile did not offer OMH RUIM, OMH handsets and data services (1X or EVDO) on handsets. Even VMI plans are not really cheap, often hidden with daily rentals. With excellent TVC, presence over social networking sites and paying for incoming calls Virgin Mobile India did awesome work for Brand Awareness. But nothing works! Virgin’s foray into data card market (vFlash and vLink using TTSL CDMA 1X and EVDO network) never works because TTSL never wanted to give competition to its own Photon+. No cheap tariff of vFlash and vLink for youth certainly gives a thumbs down! I always believe being under the hood of TTSL and not being a MVNO, venture of Virgin Mobile in India suffers a lot. TTSL treated VMI as stepson! Even Tata Indicom shoppe do not sell VMI connection, but they sell Tata Docomo. But TTSL can make really good with its CDMA services using Virgin branding. GSM Service from Tata Tele as Tata Docomo was introduced in India in 2009 and CDMA business goes under more negligence.

Nice observation @ Saket

If its locked u wont b able to use any other sim other that for which ever operator its locked. If u will buy any unlocked like Micromax / Alcatel/Beetel ..... then u can use any GSM sim either 3G or 2G, it automatically detects setyting 2G/3G/EDGE/GPRS and settings , u just need to connect to the network and what ever data plan u will b having it will b charged from that........ in my opinion go for unlocked one cost max of 2200 for 7.2 MBPS either use 2G or 3G.... and keep changing ur sim as per the lower tarrif

The Government has proposed a new verification model that will require telecom operators to mail SIM cards and a personal identification number (PIN) separately to customers seeking a new mobile connection. This is similar to the model that is adopted by Banks to deliver Credit/Debit cards PIN to their customers. Under the new proposal, mobile phone companies will have to re-verify the documents of the 700-million mobile connections in the country. The proposal also demands the cancellation of mobile-connections of those customers who have changed their addresses but failed to report the operator about the same. What is more ludicrous is that if the new rules are implemented, consumers across the country will not be able to furnish electricity bills, caste/domicile certificates, photo-IDs attested by MPs/MLAs and Group A officers and student IDs from recognized institutions to buy new cell phone connections. This proposal has left the Telcos baffled who have now decided to approach telecom ministry as well as the telecom regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). Implications of the new verification model The intention behind the new verification process is genuine. India has some real security concerns and we all know that the existing process of seeking a new mobile connection and verification thereafter has too many loopholes to be desired. So it makes perfect sense to tighten the verification process. But implementation is as important as the intent. And I am not sure whether the proposed verification norms by the Government have the true potential to address our Security concerns without inhibiting the current growth exhibited by the Telecom sector. India is one of the fastest growing cellular markets in the world. Despite this, users enjoy the lowest tariffs in world, thanks to the cut-throat competition amongst the operators. But the new proposal will increase the operational costs and the Telecom operators would be bound to pass it to the customers. This will kill the current pricing model and hence the benefits enjoyed by the customers. It can also have adverse impact on the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) scheme which is due to be implemented soon. The proposed verification scheme will also delay the process of new registrations. Gone are those days when we had to wait for days to get a new phone connection. But the new proposal if implemented would involve the SIM to be mailed, thus causing unnecessary delay. And the further we go out of the main cities the worse the problem will be. It will certainly slow down the telecom sectors pace of growth and we cant afford that. The growth of telecom sector is fundamental to the growth of our economy. But rolling back the gains which the telecom sector currently enjoys is no answer to our Security woes. True that Security should be our prime most concern but we will have to be more prudent in dealing with that. What we need is better policing, better coordination, better intelligent gathering and less corruption. Lets see if we are smart enough to devise a new way to address the security issue without compromising on the growth.

It might be like which ever operators are there in karnataka will follow the MNP according to the date.... only thing we can do is just wait and watch again..............

One major issue even after NDNC registry is the service provider themself, they use to activate several packs without customer knowledge and when we use to call CC they refuse to revert bak the money sayng u are caling after 24 hrs and after 24 hrs no refund can be made......... its a big big issue even withot getting and call and already registered NDNC

Lets wait for other circle tooo........
