Saurav 22 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 If all handsets of RIM have got bugs then why RIM? SMS bug is a very big bug which can’t be ignored. I think it’s better to be on GSM with wide good range of handsets. Tariffs are almost comparable. BSNL is even cheaper. RIM is preferred only bcz Free Rworld. Most useful service is RSURF which is also available on GSM. Moreover it is much easier to upgrade handset in GSM at your choice and you can get max from old handset. My next choice of handset will make me tilt towards GSM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyper 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 RIM is definately cheaper. i had GSM with Full GPRS, which is rs.500 per month extra plus for me SMS is cheaper(DAPO)compared to GSM. if all things considered EQUAL, then also at an average monthly SMS saving for me is rs.1000 atleast f not more. but call charges are cheaper in RIM,which for heavy users like me, makes a diff at the end of the month. my gsm bills on a average were rs.3000 now with rim(DAPO) my bills are rs.1200....2 more years to go till DAPO gets over..i'll have saved enough as far as handsets go, reliance is a very new company & it yet has to mature, once it does that handset swapping will be not a big deal at all, plus wait & watch all handsets will be subsidised or available on installments, which again will reduce ur burden & also moe chances of exchange. this kind of upgradation is already being done in USA & Japan & Korea. ....11 years back when GSM came to india, one had only 4-5 choices of handsets...its now, almost after 6years that handsets were more freely available. plus to add to that..rim has seemless roaming & net access throughout india, gsm yet has a few glitches with their "data" roaming & compatibility issues from network to network. one more thing CDMA is a much more newer technology than GSM, india has not yet explored its data capabilities etc yet...long long way to go. now if u look at where RIM stands , looking at these issues...its already a leap ahead.... true, that they seem to be "BLODDY CHORRS" ...... but their service is really good.. have u ever compared the network coverage to any gsm player... their network coverage is far far superior...dont u agree?

Ganesh Posted Oct 18 2004, 10:33 PM Sourav, do you think u suffer? once you get back to gsm you will understand that u suffer with gsm Good Rim is Best on Call Tariff. But The SMS Tariff is too high. If they offer free sms within circle or 80SMS free @ 25 Rs extra subscribe like Airtel that problem will close. I think Reliance will do that as soon as possible. (Anybody remember : Some months back RIM offers 10,000 SMS @ 50 Rs) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
