thilak.kmb 19 Report post Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) My son is coming from the U.S next month. He says he is bringing a Blackberry Bold for me (cdma). Now I request our gurus to suggest me any other better handset. Or is BB Bold OK? My preference is for a HTC. Mind you, I may come to you for help. He has recently switched over from AT&T to Sprint.

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted November 11, 2010 I agree that the days of cloned handsets may be somewhat numbered. However, with junk handsets at a rip off price, we are left with no options. I think we will be forced to move off CDMA to GSM pronto. Thank God MNP is (almost) here. One thing worth noting - many of the handsets may be originally locked and sold at a concessional price in the home market as part of a plan (say 3 years). So we are in a dark grey area to start with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted November 11, 2010 Yes, doc I like it. Sounds like the famous forgetfulness of Jagjivan Ram in filing his IT returns, and I bet Raja will soon claim something that he forgot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgiitk 32 Report post Posted November 11, 2010 Also, what about 'imported' GSM handsets? Once unlocked what are the cons - if any? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
