I read somewhere Motorola sues Apple to pay for cellular data patents (EDGE/3G etc) in Germany or some other countries.

as MTS made it clear that STV19 is for 1x UL, it is quite certain. We were getting evdo that's loophole!

Can anybody post the smartphone tariff on mts here...? MTS totally cheated with us.. They started activation of hsd on mobile after a long fight, the started cheap packs for EVDO in Kolkata n RoWB , they introduced three different tariffs for same service, i.e mblaze, smartphone (they are really cheap dumbphones.. Isn't it?) n hsd voice data packs.., they gave us cheap unmatched tariff with good service...n now they stopped evdo on our numbers!!! What a service yaar.. Sent from my hTc Droid Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2 on MTS I think time has come for you to remove the MTS Signature Rs.140 for 6GB is very Cheap, This tariif was for 1x Use only & Not for EVDO, It was like a bypass.. Jitne Din chalta hai mazae Karo. MTS offered that tariff not for 1x - as they provided tariff posters accross retailers showing these packs with * that 3X available with OMH RUIM & EVDO handsets, these posters also include SMS activation process for EVDO. So people changed their normal RUIM to OMH ruim and activated evdo and start enjoying cheap evdo data. now they had 3 types of evdo data packs - for mts mblaze, mts smartphones and omh ruim users. the worst part is they did not notify this to customers and middle of the validity of the packs evdo gets deactivated.[something like you are using 3G pack, suddenly 3G n/w access is now restricted without prior notice] they have to make sure about data packs for mobile users.

are you using some microSIM adapter ?

As I heard IMAX guys are looking for central Kolkata to return!

Yesterday was a hectic day for me. Called Cinemax (who has a left-over IMAX screen, and now advertises as largest screen in Kolkata) and Big Cinemas - all tickets are sold! At last went to Inox Swabhumi 1pm show for Rs 180 to watch TDKR. And I am telling you will be amazed by Bruce Wayne. 4.5/5 After watching the film I understand why some people gave it negative/mixed reviews. Negative coz they don't understand Nolan's thought. Mixed - BB was for Batman, TDK - Joker stole the show, and they expect Bane will stole the show but Nolan makes it Bruce Wayne's film. So go and watch... and may be you will thinking about a second watch.

Zen Mobile’s UltraTab A100 – Another ICS Running Budget Tablet for Rs 6,199 Indian mobile makers are keen to grab some Android pie in the tablet market, and latest entrant is Zen Mobile, who announced the launch of 7 inch Zen Ultra Tab A100 running Android v 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for Rs 6199. Like other tablets from Indian brands, Zen Ultra Tab comes with attractive specs set – 7 inch display with 800 x 480 pixels of resolution, 1.2 GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB internal storage, further storage expansion upto 32GB via microSD card, 1.3MP front camera and 2800mAh battery. On connectivity options, the tablet includes WiFi and 3G. Ergomonically the tablet sports the physical buttons – power keys and ports on the top for convenience to the users. To cater the Indian audience Zen packs some India -centric apps preloaded on the tablet – iBrowser, mBollywood, India newspaper, mig33 and PayTm. With Google Play Store support you can find more apps for your device. Zen Mobile has also tied up with DigiVive to provide mobile TV services – nexGTv – on Ultra Tab A100. The nexGTv service is available for free to UltraTab users and it features over 100 live channels, Video-on-Demand and Live TV. With this new tablet Zen enters the market of budget Android tablets in India, where Micromax, Karbonn, Zync, iBerry, WickedLeak, WishTel and others are already present. But who are buying these? Big question but I guess Indian tablet market is long way to go before it turns mature enough.

iBerry India started taking pre-orders of AX01 and AX03G. Shipping will be started from July 19th. more details - http://mobiletalk.info/iberry-india-started-pre-order-ax03g-ax01-ebay-india/464/

^ just yesterday I checked with Tata CDMA OMH RUIM with Samsung TV CDMA phone - the BREW based (?) browser instantly connects to internet - on EVDO mode, no extra settings required. Don't know how it will behave on a smartphone like Incredible 2 !!

^^ your existing plans will work - say if you are enjoying local calls at 20p/min and STD at 50p/min - this new pack will not hamper your local call rate, but reduce your STD call rate to 30p/min ...

As Team Telecomtalk talked with MTS official, buying stake in Aircel is totally market speculation.

WickedLeaks Intros ICS-Running 7 inch Tablet – Wammy Plus by Ray H - on Jul 3rd 2012 Though monsoon in India irregular this year, the tablets are raining in India. These low budget tablets mostly from a-little-known Indian companies who never had entered in the handset market. This time WickedLeak has launched Wammy Plus – a Android 4.0 running tablet PC for Rs 11,999. The Wammy Plus has Allwinner BOXCHIP A10 Cortex-A8, 1.2GHz CPU, Mali 400 GPU, 1GB DDR3 RAM, 8GB internal storage and support for external TFlash card, G-Sensor, 7 inch 5 point capacitative touch screen, Wi-Fi, back and front camera, 3000 mAh battery for 4 hours of worktime, Ports – USB/HDMI/3.5mm audio jack, 5 physical keys, in-built 3G/WCDMA support for data and phone call. Wammy Plus runs on Android 4.0 ICS, which is to provide best Android experience to end-users. There are a host of pre-loaded apps like facebook, twitter, Skype and others. You can also use Google Play Store. Previously the company also launched Wammy 7 which lacks a in-built 3G SIM slot and has 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM and only front camera. Wammy 7 was priced for Rs 5249. WickedLeak had announced the launch of Wammy Plus a week back, now it is available in leading stores and online official store starting from July 1, 2012. It is true that budget tablets are flooding the Indian market, affordable or ultra low cost tablets are not making a quiet impact in the Indian market. Still for many people iPad or Samsung’s Android based Galaxy tablet is the best looking as well as best performacing tablet. Also these brands have to build their reputation and so they are launching Android OS.

True that this year Google is too impressive to beat even Apple's costly devices!

I think iBerry just annunced AX01, AX03G, but none of these has been launched!
