Customer care in Videocon too is quite decent. I myself have a Videocon d2H connection (normal one though) which is part of my LCD TV so there is no seperate set top box. And I have not had any major issues with their customer care. In fact, I even benefited once where I got a free credit of 500 rupees which was supposed to have been deducted as shifting charges but then got refunded when I shouted on the customer care for reducing my account to 9 months instead of the one year which I had subscribed for! well that apart, they are responsive, you have three movie channels thrown in as part of the package ( I am using a Diamond pack) and the regional channels are more than satisfactory. They also have an HD service but that would require a separate HD set top box.

I am left speechless here. Generally if I were to open up a topic especially one that has more or less been discussed atleast in some part in some other area of the forum, there would be mods jumping up and down shouting and cursing. And here there are people who are more than willing to share their knowledge in letting a newbie have his bite of the pie! Am really thankful indeed to all of you out here. @ Arun, well "latest" is not the issue. It is more like getting to know the system and the working of Android and well if it is with the latest piece of hardware, why not. That is just my thought process. That is all. But yes having said that, I am seriously considering the Epic 4g. Seems a nice phone with not too many hitches and more or less assured service support all over India unlike the HTC which people still don't touch even when forced to. @Amit, yes I have realised that. So it is either I wait till the 2D version comes out or else right now go ahead with the Epic 4G and keep my fingers crossed that a more mouth watering deal does not arise in the next 2 weeks after my purchase

That is precisely what I was saying. I am sure that a part of the money I am spending on the phone is also because it is 3D so a phone with similar specs minus the 3D would work out cheaper? And then I can at least happily splurge money knowing it is all well spent!

Yes I guess I will just do that. Anyway, I need another wifi device to make sure that my wifi settings work

Thanks for the suggestion Vishal. What I was considering is the opinion of Vinay (aka Genius+) where he seems right in saying that the EVO 3D has world class hardware and that certainly is true. A dual core processor (WOW!) is something that laptops too have just about reached and that is something which certainly sounds exciting. Yes the 3D part would wear out after the initial novelty so if someone was indeed willing to suggest a similar android mobile with similar specs (minus the 3D) and in CDMA, I would definitely think more than twice about it.

Ok so the Evo 3D seems to be what everyone out here seems to be suggesting. Any prices what I can expect? I reside in Vizag so the shipping costs too can be included. And plus, I would not be able to commit anything till the 1st of August (Salary day!!)

Well thanks for the reply Dhiraj. You have simply managed to increase my dilemma now. Since you have started the topic of EVO 3D, just wanted to ask. How much great is the 3D? I know it sounds like a really really stupid question but if indeed I can get a completely trouble free handset for around 23K, am sure I can go for it. Else I guess the Epic should be available for around 14-15K is what I have understood. So can someone help me in still making me arrived at a "considered" judgement. I am willing to stretch to around 22-23K MAX. That would be like maxing out my budget. I simply cannot be disappointed after spending so much. I am normal person on a normal salary and even this amount would be considered a splurge. Which is why I am like still cautious. Again, forgive me if I am wrong in the pricing aspects but this is what I have understood. Even ebay does not offer me better options so I am like really happy to be around. Having said all that, yes I DO want an Android. Poking around seems like fun to me but then it would happen only knowing that I would have the complete backing of people like you and other mods out here. I am sure that is what keeps this community "alive and kicking". You talk to someone who knows nothing about phones with as much civility and are willing to answer even the stupidest of doubts of the people out here.

Thanks for the reply Dhiraj. Well I have seen the EVO 3D and well it is a fascinating piece for sure but then shelling out 30k for a phone would sure make my wife raise more than an eye brow! Which is why I am not really going for the 3D. How much would a Epic 4G cost and is there anyone out here selling a brand new piece? And plus would he be willing to help in registering my Reliance No with it? I think the sliding key board kind of looks nice especially when considered with the Fascinate. I had certain problems with an HTC Evo 4G where I was not able to make calls (the calls would get dropped in 2 secs flat whether I was receiving or making it) and I tried my best but just could not resolve it. Which is also why I would like to go for a Samsung. Atleast I can be assured of service support.

Coming to comparing the iPhone and the Android. Yes the Android being open source (as of now) with tons of free apps, does rule. Well wanted to ask. Now that there are unlocked iPhones available for use on Reliance network (and I mean CDMA), is EVDO also enabled or is it possible to enable EVDO? All phones that I have seen on ebay all say no data as of now.

Thanks for the post. Well it is indeed educative and I loved the simplicity of the post. Please continue to post such informative articles. Good for newbies (is it noobs) like me!

I was reading this article about making the laptop work as a Wi-fi hot spot. I have a Reliance Net Connect plus USB modem with which I connect to the net. The problem is, whenever I tried to use Connectify, I was not able to make any progress. While installing Connectify, if my internet was on, the installation would hang after a certain period. When the net was off, it would install but then I was not able to connect to the net after that as I guess the software corrupted the drivers. I tried to work around the same by first uninstalling connectify, then uninstalling my USB modem, installing connectify and then re installing the USB modem drivers but it simply did not work. The moment connectify was present in my system, my USB modem was disabled. I have a Compaq Presario Laptop running a licensed version of Windows 7 Home basic. Can anyone tell me what the problem could possibly be? Regards to all

Thanks for the info. There were certain things about pen drives which I certainly didnt know. And glad to see that this Rimweb is more than just mobiles!
