Friends, I have seen poeple selling unofficial blackberries assuring that these devices will work with RCDMA or TATA INDICOM after some programming (as these BBs don't have RUIM slots). I presently on MTS using an RUIM based connection. I want to know if I can use such blackberries for MTS also. If its possible please also tell me the steps to enable MTS on such a blackberry mobile and what will happen to the RUIM in that case. Or better if someone could point me to some other pages where such programming is described. Thank you,

Apologies. Didn't know its forbidden. (I'm really wondering who is going to punish whom. ) But, thank you friends for alerting me. I will contact Saddik. So we end this topic here.

Don't be amused my friend. I am not going to sell it now. How would I be able to connect to internet without this phone?

What r charges for using browsing on handset? does it open all sites? How did u got RUIM ebabled PPC? 1) Its a 'Jugaad' SIM/RUIM. A friend who is an MTS dealer provided this RUIM to me. I connect to internet without any restrictions. 2) I got this PPC (6700) from another friend. it has a RUIM slot soldiered in a crude manner below its battery (and it works perfectly). though its programmed and was locked to Reliance, i have changed its setting to 'RUIM only' (you know it). If anyone is interested in buying this phone let me know

Here's another picture of this phone, i found on huawei website. to me it looks impressive. i really want to buy this phone but tata indicom/photon people are not responding to mails. friends, if you spot this phone in any store in delhi/ncr please let me know. thanks,

Thanks for clarifying me on this.

I too think its an OMH handset as the box didn't have any operators logo/name.

I found this MTNL-Delhi website today: Waiver for MNP port-in charges w.e.f 04.01.2011 -Waiver of port-in charges for Rs. 19/- for customers -SMS request for UPC to be charged at normal SMS rate as per customer's existing plan is the 'UPS' mentioned here belongs to 'MNP'? if yes, what does it mean?

I am not able to find this handset in delhi. i checked with three tata indicom showrooms and none of them even knew about it. later i wrote to their customer care to tell me from where can i buy this phone and they sent me a list of all of their dealers in india. I wrote them back to tell me addresses of only one or two dealers who have this handset available and the customer care haven't replied yet. someone please tell me from where can i buy this handset in delhi. thanks,

Two days back i entered a micromax store looking for an EVDO handset. The sales person showed my this handset. soon i notices something was missing from the information provided on Box. though it was highlighting '3.1Mbps' speed, it nowhere mentioned EVDO (so, nothing about revisions also). instead it used a different term HSIA (High Speed Internet Access). the salesman proudly told me, 'you can watch TV on this'. and when i asked if it can be used as a modem, he said 'sorry, it can't be'. at first i felt sad, but later it occurred to me that the salesman could be wrong as the device is capable of providing a high speed data connect but not able to connect to a PC as a modem, which is a bit peculiar. I checked on micromax website but it too, doesn't say anything about its modem capability. only someone, who has bought this phone can reveal the truth. anyone?

I have an EVDO enabled MTS OMH SIM. I often use it for browsing etc. but since my handset is 1x, I could never experience EVDO. I always connect with 1x speed and its always a consistent 10-12KBps download speed. I always want to test MTS internet connectivity while in motion (such as while traveling in a car or Metro) but i guess it will be embarrassing to use my PPC 6700 outside my home :-/ so, inside my home (in delhi) an EVDO enabled MTS OMH SIM on ppc 6700 (which is 1x) gives a consistent 10-12KBps download speed. I will post about my EVDO experience when i get an EVDO handset.

I don;t think its any *OMH Problem*. I too have an OMH SIM, and use it to connect to internet with my PPC 6700 handset using Opera mobile/UC_web/explorer. I use it as a modem also, but never faced the problems you mentioned. I guess you need to make proper settings for the access point.

good , I am a MTS user. And its really a good news for me.

i live in delhi, and a shopkeeper was willing to give me this phone for Rs 4800. Find out if you can find a better (than Rs 5200) deal in chennai. regarding comparison with MPower Txt, check their individual specifications at official site.

Thanks buddy, I am sorry for this late reply. I had an exam today and didn't touch my laptop for past 3 days I had made all my plans for this phone but, someone posted information about a Rev A device here. I guess i will go check this Huawei phone first. Hope its really OMH.

thanks for your replies rahul_99. I still need to know if this phone connects well with linux as a modem. Thank you all.

Guys, I am planning to buy this phone (Mpower TV S239) soon. I have a few questions: Some people have observed that only signed apps can be installed on this handset. I guess nokia phones have some security setting for signed apps which can be turned off that allows installation of unsigned apps. have you people tried to find such security setting in your S239? Is it really there or not? It was said earlier that S239 has same port for charging & data transfer (USB). Does it charges itself when connected to PC as a modem? its actually a helpful feature Linux users, have you tried this phone as modem with linux? please mention the linux flavour/version and the method to connect it. Thank you all Nimod

I have been using MTS for past 8 months in delhi. certainly it has a good network. in 8 months i experienced very few call drops (not more than 5). I use a lo-end MTS branded handset. Signals, good everywhere except in Metro underground lines. I don;t know about signal strengths in basement of buildings. I have a very limited outgoing phone calls requirement and MTS offers many options for me. I guess i will stick MTS for a long time. Even for heavy users they offer good options. recently i came to know they are offering unlimited local calls @275/- per month. And the best you can do is, enter any MTS store, tell them your general usage pattern and they will tell you what options are there for you. Regards.
