situ1962 21 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 A black berry even @ 10k is costly in indian context due to the costly data plan.unless one goes for a bb data plan,keeping that line of phone is useless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nellorian 23 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 It is not suggestable to Buy from Reliance WW, since several restrictions were embedded in the phone. If we buy from outside we can use on any one of the CDMA network. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nawalsingal 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 I Purchased the set(8830 WE) from Sadik & happy to say that it's a right choice. Though BIS/BES on cdma doesn't work but still a very good handset. If u can do without camera, best handset in this price. Also, it has a facility of editing word & power point docs edit if u upgrade to os ver 4.5. USP of the phone to me is exceptional build quality , finish, impressive looks (To me at least) & above all, good battery life. One drawback with reliance handset is that if you want to change the network from CDMA to GSM or vice versa, you have to restart the phone, whereas in this one, it takes hardly a few seconds(Less than 10) to switch the network. Also, GPS through Google Maps works fine if you have net connection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
