This is the case like always in Reliance they have made an upward revision in almost all the tariff.

true! In my case it is about a week for every two months. So roaming charges is not a big deal.

This move has got major implications! As the whole country will now be effectively transformed into a single circle, you dont need to change the no. when you move from one state to other. You can use a Delhi no. in Kerala without fearing bulged bills and as such will be stiffly opposed by all operators Roaming is a significant source of income for those who have national presence and network in all the circles, read incumbents.

This 'telecom scam' have seeped deep and have attained proportion beyond our imagination/grasp. How come allianz got the license cheap for 30 crore while others are shelling out 1000s of crores!? It is a colossal loss to the Govt!

True. The etisalat has not yet had a commercial launch and they only had a 'soft launch' for not losing the licence.

Etisalat bought Allianz Infratech in 2009. Allianz paid Rs 30 crore for Madhya Pradesh and Bihar circles. They didnt launch service, held the licence for some time and then finally made a windfall profit by selling it

I am suprised to find Uninor's name figuring here! What criteria does it not meet?? It had rolled out full fledged service in most of the circles it have received spectrum in and had garnered enough subscribers too!

Delhi and Mumbai will have to shell out the most for 3G as their auction burnt Airtel/Voda/Rel hand.

any idea which handset??

iPhone in CDMA will be just awesome! but will it be overpriced like its GSM counterparts?

Hey just the ''calling cards'' or will other plans and packs also apply??? I am talking about gprs, sms and unlimited call plans

so true!

I was expecting it by dec-jan in best time, that is what airtel said.. Wow! So soon! Time to remove the idea sim and put in DOCOMO in the sim slot of N95

Is the laptop issued by your company?? Are you facing the problem at work hours alone?? There is no mystery - they are blocking it on purpose as these sites, fb, twiter and even youtube are considered as a colossal waste of time and something which hinders prouductivity BTW, most organisations does it.

They are giving free on-net tata to tata calls with these internet packs. I got 50rs worth with the 43rs-1gb plan.

good article. To sum it up - Nokia should get its focus right on smartphones. Symbian is nearly obsolete and they should embrace Android OS. Btw, anyone have used Meego OS or is it still in the making??

I had a very bad experience with Videocon V1675 I felt like they are sourcing it from some lame Chinese manufacturer like Huawei and just renaming them. Yeah they are real good in consumer product. But also novices in mobile sector. Their foray into telecom market is also proving as a disaster.

Getting off-topic. Anyway sony cares for money. And only money. Look at their product line and all are over priced. Btw. Liked their play station - disk reading error LOL.

that is suprising. Btw I hope you are in a place covered by the network...

We, the common man can never ever know for sure what goes on inside the big businesses. One thing for sure - IT GETS HANDS DIRTY. So let us all not waste our time speculating on it.

UPDATE after a week of using : When I am playing songs from the memory card, there is no option to play it in the background! And they call it a music phone!

there is samsung mPower muzik and lg 6300 @ around 5000rs. But feature wise this one SEEMS better, also with a big screen. - Waiting for the actual phone to come to stores near me.

There are more than 100million users of CDMA in India?? I dont know the exact no. as it is not reported regularly. Anyway we surpassed China in 2009 and presently is the second largest market after America and still it is not large enough to invoke interest from Nokia??

Do Not Disturb is just for a name sake in Reliance GSM. It is activated in my number since last year but still getting those pesky calls.

phone looks cool PLS post the detailed specifications.
