^^^ My dear friend, these Chinese handsets sold in India by different manufacturers under brand name. So, you can call these as branded Chinese Handsets. Usha-Lexus too selling the same like Chinese handsets under the brand name of USHA-LEXUS.

Yes, my dear friend, we should always keep in mind that CDMA handsets reasale value is always lesser then their counterparts GSM handsets. So you should go for GSM handset only. You can opt for either Blackberry or Nokia E71 business phone. And about the Chinese handsets, I'm Not sure whether any Chinese Smartphone with WM6 having the push mail facility or not. Regards.

Yes dear Mufaddal, some of the posts can definetely be splitted and merged in other threads which are going on in other HTC / Palm Subforum. As told by Arun Ji above, he will do the needful soon. Or if you can provide the post numbers and thread details to which those posts should be merged to, then it will be even better. We will do the needful with immediate effect. Regards.

My dear friend, we agree that some of the discussion in 1-2 threads was really helpful to the BUYERS of those handsets. But those threads deserve to be in Buy / Sell Forum and thats why they had been moved to BUY / SELL forum. And ofcourse, those 3 special threads which you are pointing towards, had been given / provided the VIP STATUS by PINNING them. So those 3 threads will remain on top of the BUY / SELL FORUM until and unless the related handsets are not available for sale. Anyways, All Well That Ends Well ! Regards.

Shhhh.....Koi Hai !

Spice Corp Launches $20 Mobile Phone Indian telecom company Spice Corp Ltd (SCL) has unveiled a no-frills mobile phone that will retail at about Rs 800 ($20) early April, the company's chairman said. "Though we have taken various measures to reduce the cost price for the end user, it will be a technologically advanced instrument," claimed SCL Chairman BK Modi. He said this product will prove that India is not only equipped to give the best of technology but even the cheapest at most competitive prices. Also, he didn't rule out the possibility of prices of such phones going down further. The new voice-only phone was exhibited at a global expo in Barcelona in Spain Monday and evoked tremendous interest among mobile service providers from around the world, Modi said. The phone does not offer a screen but will provide excellent voice clarity. An audio programme would announce the digits that are dialled to prevent errors. A Braille version will also be simultaneously introduced to benefit visually challenged users. "Spice got nearly 40 MSPs inquiring about it at the expo itself. We have tied up with one Indian MSP to provide the phone as a package deal." The service provider's name will be announced along with the phone launch in April this year. Designed in India by Spice Corp Ltd, the new phone is being manufactured in China in partnership with Spice's Chinese partner. Available in a range of attractive colours and compact and lightweight design, the phone will be compatible with all types of SIM cards currently available in the market and function on most connection types. Within a year of launch, Modi was confident of selling between five to 10 million pieces. "Initially, we are targeting the entire Middle East, SAARC and ASEAN group of countries. Then we shall explore other markets." He said that presently there is only 20 percent mobile penetration in India. "The remaining population has never set eyes on a mobile phone." Worldwide, cheap mobile phones make up for nearly 20 percent of the total market. But more than half the world's population has never used a phone, so the demand potential is immense, Modi said. The $1-billion Bombay Stock Exchange-listed SCL is an upcoming telecom company currently operating in two telecom circles – Karnataka and Punjab – and has applied for licences in other circles. Mobile without a screen seems not to be good at this price. A screenless mobile at approximately Rs.800/- is not worth at all. We can't even send and get SMS on it. Crap Classic handsets are already available cheaper then this in CDMA. In GSM other entry level handsets are their at the same price. This handset would be useful only to old people. They could use this handset just like landlines. Regards.

^^^ Very good point / suggestion my dear Jayanth.

^^^ CPE means Customer-Premises Equipment. In this case CPE is used for ADSL Router.

^^^ 0.50 paise per minute STD is really cool my dear friend and that too at an additional cost of Rs.39/- only. Is this offer available to call on all National Operators or Reliance only ?

^^^ My dear friend, Free National Sms's are available with different operators under different schemes for prepaid users. They can opt for different SMS packs available from different operators. For STD bonus, no such scheme is available. The cheapest you can get is Re.1/- per minute with all operators and that too at an additional cost. Regards.
