Normally, TATA photon+ rates are cheaper than Docomo 3G rates but for this device alone it's identical since TATA wants to provide seamless roaming across the country with single device and single bill.

I think you're mistaken. In this device, both Docomo-3G and Photon+ costs are identical. You can consume your bundled data in both modes interchangeably.... Only the speed differs.... In case if you unlock, can you please check with RCOM CDMA SIM and also RCOM GSM SIM?

HC defers bail plea of 5 2G case accused source:: http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/nation/north/hc-defers-bail-plea-5-2g-case-accused-222 Let us hope HC will reject the bail outright. These are highly educated real criminals who clearly know what they were doing is absolutely unlawful. These people are the financiers and directors of all that happened in this scam. These are not beggars who have committed such acrimonious acts to save their life or food. This bail rejection will show to India that our Judiciary is not money-inclined and natural justice can prevail.

Non-RUIM/SIM handsets is an old technology. Some legacy operators like in USA still hangs on to it due to inherent advantage of locking their users to their network. India being late starter has embraced better technology and it should be appreciated.

An important point to be recognized is although China Telecom is not OMH-complaint but it's RUIM based from the start. OMH countries to China:: It's very easy to pre-program China Telecom's data settings into OMH based mobiles and sell it in China. China to OMH countries:: On the reverse, almost all the latest CDMA chips from Qualcomm are OMH-complaint. So any CDMA handsets which are released in China are inherently OMH-complaint but not tested by CDG to bear OMH logo. If any OEM wants to release those handsets in OMH countries, just they've to go for OMH certification and release in OMH countries. It's exactly the case which has happened in Motorola XT800 and other Indian OEM phones like Micromax, Spice, Intex. So China is actually a huge market for OMH although it's not OMH-complaint.

Current OMH-complaint operators are present in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, Nigeria, Mexico. There's very huge potential in Africa and South east Asia to expand..... http://omhworld.com/markets

Indeed, a very good observation.

Advertisement banner is good find my dear friend... But, http://omhworld.com/devices/ivio http://ivio.com/mobile.php?ponsel=DE88 both sites claim this phone as EVDO/2G-GSM phone.... :confuse:

Another kind advice to fellow members, please exhaust all the avenues(customer care -- nodal officer - appellate authority)of an operator before going to PGP portal.

I didn't find better place to post this one. Here's a very good presentation on OMH status & future. Once you listen, I feel all your questions on OMH will get answered. http://www.qualcomm.com/videos/omhtm-unlocking-open-market-potential-cdma-devices It's time to reflect back on our followings on OMH. You can easily understand initially how our members are skeptical about the success of OMH. Now, OMH is a great success story in CDMA world and it's the future.

2G scam: 5 telecom honchos to spend night in 90-sqft prison cell source :: http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_2g-scam-five-telecom-honchos-to-spend-night-in-90-sqft-prison-cell_1534217 Finally, I am happy that real culprits are sent to jail. I was always skeptical that this case will close without catching real culprits(corporates) but instead framing all the charges on the scape-goat Raja. At least this arrest brings little bit of hope that case is really closing in on true culprits. Let us hope and pray that HC will not make comedy of the entire process by granting bail today.

+10 for you.... Thanks for such neat and elaborate post with proper chronology. :clap: Please don't forget to send an appreciation mail to DoT indicating that your complaint number XXXXX is solved to your satisfaction. I always had faith in our system in spite of so much cynicism in the air. My request to fellow members is to make a try and then say it doesn't work. Just don't pass comments due to seize mentality. I also request members to appreciate small good things which happens in our system now and then. It's the only we can elevate the system to do more....

Do we've USB modems which support both HSDPA/EVDO by insertion of SIM/RUIM in India? An example can be seen in the Korean link below. http://www.anydata.com/pdf/adu-630w.pdf

For the first time in India HSDPA/EVDO modem is launched as WiFi Hub. TATA Docomo launches it. For the moment, we've to live with network-locked scenario.

True....Sprint 4G is on WiMax but Verizon 4G is on FDD-LTE. What we need in India is TDD-LTE. We've to wait for such handsets.

I profusely second your last paragraph.....

If you ever had a chance to speak with an European common man who have visited & used mobile services in India, Brazil, Russia, Malaysia or Indonesia you would have really understood what a telecom regulatory mess it is in Europe. There are several points which I can keep quoting on to say how bad an European feels about his operators' loot due to efficient in enforcement but fundamentally wrong regulations(like non-technology neutral approach, autocratic decision-making, restriction in number of players etc.,). There are more than enough instances where stakeholders(mainly NGOs and Experts) have rejected European type regulations during consultation process of TRAI. TRAI has achieved much more greater competition even without MVNO than OfCom achieved with MVNO. What do you need ???? For the benefit of stopping this going off-topic, I want to restrict by saying never ever bring European regulatory regime in comparison since it's globally accepted failed regulatory mechanism. Your penultimate paragraph exactly says what myself and @Rajan have been insisting in our previous posts. The need of the hour is to empower/redesign TRAI with more powers and take it to the level of other regulators in India. It'll clearly catapult telecom industry to next level since TRAI has already proved what it can do with even such less powers.

My dear friend, please allow me to clarify and bring out the true picture..... Europe is a failed case of Telecom Regulatory mechanism. The first huge mistake their regulators done is not being technology-neutral and the second thing being their total failure to infuse competition. TRAI beats any of the European Telecom regulators hands down in any of the parameters other than technology advancements. Technology advancement failure is mainly due to spectrum scarcity. OfCom's initiative to break monopoly of BT telecom is totally reactionary on seeing the competitive telecom markets in developing countries and certainly not pro-active. On Contrary, TRAI has never ever allowed competition to fall in our country in spite of many bigwigs trying their best to thwart competition by influencing corrupt ridden bureaucracy. Best telecom regulators of the world reside in the east of our country and not in west. Japan's telecom regulator, the best in terms of technology advancements has acknowledged the TRAI's success in keeping competition at its best and even tried to learn from TRAI. Please try to shake away the attitude of "west being the best" and have heart to appreciate tiny successes which we've achieved here and there. Despite all cynicism around our telecom industry, India is the best competitive and fast growing telecom market in the world. The most of the credit must go to TRAI. This in turn calls for vesting more powers with TRAI.

I understand whom you're pointing to......After all they're expert in doing shabby jobs :rofl_200:

The author of the above article is too much fictional in his article and need not be taken seriously....The article is too much away from truth.... For God sake, just don't believe in what media says....They're the most corrupt lot in our democracy........Please apply your thoughts over it..... Your suggestion to keep Telecom Minister away from Appointments committee is also not possible since among the ministers in the committee, Telecom Minister can only be the one who has more visibility on the talent availability in the telecom domain. Actually what @Rajan said is exactly true... The need of the hour is to shift much more powers to TRAI and make it as a strong regulator for Telecom & Broadcasting domains. Till today, TRAI does not have powers similar to other regulators like RBI,SEBI & IRDA..... It'll solve misgivings about TRAI.

TRAI chairman is selected by Appointment Committee of Cabinet. Its members are Prime Minister, Home Minister & Telecom Minister. At the max, DoT can only influence through its minister....
