Hi Folks, Anyone know where to get teh data cable for this new slimmest cdma handset ? Bye Tiger

Pegasus, They claim to be the first because they are the first ones to introducs the RUIM activated handsets. Although Gtran and Nokia 2280 of Reliance do have RUIM slots, they were blocked and programming was done the traditional way. Bye Tiger

Hotguy, The Webworlkd guys told me that the cable is the same for 2030 and the 2130. Its different for the 2230 though. I have a 2230 and impossible to get the cable... till now. Since have had bad experiences on Bazee, didn't bother to check out. Tiger

Just going by whats going on after the elections, I think those of us who did not bother to vote must be regretting the fact..... 1. Yesterday, Mani Shankar Aiyar says on TV (and I heard him clearly): " Sonia Gandhi is the leader of this country and has appointed Manmohan Singh to run the administration for some time......" 2. Natwar Singh gives a Press Conference in Jaipur where he talks only about Soniaji's likely visit to Pakistan and how she will be welcomed there. Saw the whole thing and also read the related press reports this morning... Not a word about Manmohan Singh throughout.... Sounds more like Dev Kant Baruah's (those of you old enough to remember him) "India is Indira and Indira is India". If things will go on this way, either she should become the PM or next time the Congress party will really lose out with the educated masses atleast. The PM's office should not be demeaned in any manner by anyone. If the sardar's reputation is anything to go by, I don't think he is going to go along with this for a long time. Tiger

CDMA has two channels - A and B. In each there is a Primary Channel and a Secondary Channel. That is why you need the P Ch A , S Ch A, P Ch B, S Ch B... These values are network and area dependant. You can get these values from the network operator or by "reading" the NAM programming values in the network's handset. Can you read the NAM values on the LG RD2030 ? If yes, how ? Tiger

Hi Guys, Slow Speeds on RIM... Although I am not a professional in this field, I can add my 25p since I have been reading about it a lot. Reliance uses the same network for voice and data. So , if you are connected in a particular area where there are too many voice calls being made through the same BTS, that you are connected to, your speed will be lower. That's why you get better speeds at odd hours at night. As all of us know, voice occupies too much bandwidth. The maximum I got was about a year back - about 11 KBps which is not bad since the set (2130) is capable of only 115,200 bps (note the difference in B and b !!). Currently I do not get anything more than 4-5 KBps. Broadband,,, For internet access at home , I am subscribed to Dishnet DSL (now bought over by VSNL and under the Tata Indicom brand - www.ddsl.net). They have installed a cable modem for free and charged me installation of Rs 5000/- since house was in a area far from the current cabling route. If your house is near a laid down cable, probably you can negotiate this. Connection speed is 512,000 bps and if I test the speed on www.testspeed.com or on the Mcaffee website, I have got upto 45 KBps. However, when I try to actually download, the speed is lower because all depends on where you are downloading from, how busy is that server, is it http or ftp, port problems, etc... Generally with Kazaa I get around 22-24 KBps. But browsing is a sheer pleasure - pages load in a jiffy - even the highly graphics loaded ones like www.gamespot.com. Playing games on line is great as is watching live video feeds, listening to internet radio and making voice calls. Cost: Amazing that I pay only Rs 995.00 + 8% service tax every month for 1GB free upload/download (this will include all downloads,browsing, mail, etc...). For every 0.5 GB extra I need to pay another 495.00. Have used it for about 15 months now and absolutely no hassles. Probabaly a wee bit expensive but after researching the market for over 15 months haven't found anything better !! Enjoy !!

Don't worry and panic. Simply go to the service centre as if nothing happened and they will fix it. I know CDMA very well and for some reason (I don't know why - so don'y ask) in some sets the ESN suddenly becomes 0. Could be due to some internal technical reason like "shocks" or 'dropping the set". It is a regular problem faced by the Reliance service centres - just like the "service required" in the good old days. Bye

Hi Friends, Can anyone point out a place where we can get the old stocks of Reliance prepaid of LG-RD2030 (thats the ones with 20 recharge coupons) ? What is the nbest price of RD2030 under the new prepaid scheme and where is it available ? Tks Tiger
