Links to other sites, other than those of NGOs would be deleted by the moderators. Abhay, as per your question in other thread for the link to the news info that you post, there are ample amount of examples in the forum, where members post News Items along with the direct link to that news, for ppl to exactly verify the source, if so reqd. Your signature with all the possible links to News Sources, doesn't serve the same purpose. So i would suggest, that you see News Items posted by other members, and make a decent choice of posting web-links for the news source! Any more queries, u may post here.

In August of 2001, i had recieved a letter from BPL for my connection stating that from 20th August, CPP(Calling Party Pays) would be in place and hence Incoming on cellphones would be free. This was withdrawn, and i guess, BSNL and MTNL, DOT were responsible for the foul cry... coz Landline users would require to pay more... etc etc.. During this time RIM was evolving and setting up. It was all a big game and it still is. All GSM operators almost together decided to wait till one more big player like Reliance enters into the market via WLL route and that would be the best time to shout loudly. Thats wat happened, and RIM entered via WLL in a big way, where being a basic operator it gave away free incoming and dirt cheap outgoing tariffs. It was time enuf for GSM to cry hard and they got their way for CPP. Anyways, Network on Wheels seems to be more of an advertisement than of a cell-site... I mean, if there is a network congestion, it cannot be solved without a permanent cell-site. Temporary Cellsites is jus some quick ho-ho advertorial stuff on the roads, according to me!

Quite impressed with Google! ppl look upto it coz it has evolved with time, and its "innovative" and not jus trying to copy up stuff or ideas available elsewhere! Thats its strength, which is difficult to beat.

i dont find any significant difference!

I was given a similar reply for the LG 6130, the date given to me was 14th Nov. I tried after 2 days of lodging the complaint, and it worked. So keep trying, raktim!

Browsing will soon be lot easier Nilanjana S Roy | November 05, 2005 | Rediff.com Back when Gmail started in beta, there was a scramble for invites. You had to be invited either directly by Google, or through some one who already had a Gmail invite. The begging emails poured in: Can I have a Gmail invite if I walk your dog, pick up your laundry, do deeply illegal things to you on the welcome mat? Today, you can't give the damn things away - there are over a hundred useless invites piled up in my inbox, but no one wants them. Was Google's product launch for Gmail too successful, or not successful enough? Neither. Gmail got it right when it came to creating the initial buzz. Without that frantic demand for invites, it wouldn't have had a hope of taking on Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail. Launching email services in an age of Hotmail, AOL and Yahoo! Mail is a bit like trying to launch a great new cold drink in markets ruled by Coke and Pepsi. What was significant about Gmail wasn't that it was a decent email service, nor even that it was a successful product launch. For a growing segment of Net users, Gmail alerted us to the fact that Google Labs was now a regular stop on the browsing trail. Google Labs is a vast, open laboratory of projects that Google's employees are working on and that the public is free to testdrive. It's not a new concept: this is just beta testing taken to a mass audience. But in the year since Gmail was launched, Google Labs has successfully tested and released Google Earth, Google Scholar, Google Maps, Google Desktops and several other neat little web concepts. The Labs have become the place to go to if you're wondering what Google's future plans for world domination are. Google isn't alone in its attempt to conquer the hearts, minds and browsers of the globe; MSN and Yahoo! have been jostling the erstwhile search engine company for a while now. This year, MSN launched its Sandbox, a version of Google Labs; Yahoo! now has Yahoo! Next. It would be naïve to believe that these three companies will give away all their secrets. But there's enough up there to give you a sense of where the Big Three are headed. Google Print is still controversial; the attempt to create a worldwide searchable library has been imitated by Yahoo!, but copyright challenges are inevitable. Google is looking at blogs seriously; its Blog Search is one of the better dedicated blog engines around, and its new Reader, which allows you to read multiple blog "feeds" on one page, could be a killer app. Google Video is still clunky, but the idea that you should be able to search TV and video clips with as much ease as audio databases is bound to be copied. MSN Filter tries cleverly to combine a whole host of search functions, by using bloggers as human filters for the web - it's erratic, but a nice concept. NetScan aims to do for Usenet groups what a good blog search engine does for blogs, and Start is an attempt to do what all three companies are doing - build the ultimate interactive, personalised home page. Yahoo! has five different ways to search the web, from the quirky 'Mindset' to the cluster-search engine Web 2.0, on the anvil - like the other two, Yahoo! knows that search engines must mutate in order to keep up with evolving needs. But about the most exciting thing it has up on Next is Yahoo! Podcasts search. Is this beginning to sound familiar? Well, Google and MSN both have huge maps and globe searching facilities now; all three of them are improving audio search and moving towards newer ways of searching the web; and none of them can afford to ignore blogs, video or podcasts any more. I don't know whether it'll be a Yahoo!, MSN or Google world, but from the user's point of view, it's going to be a lot easier to browse. MSN Sandbox: http://sandbox.msn.com/ Google Labs: http://labs.google.com/ Yahoo! Next: http://next.yahoo.com/ Windows Live is something that Google used Ages back in this. Now Rediff uses it. Its something called as AJAX. Google for it and u'll know more!

Looks pretty similar to the recent TATA launch for the entry level handsets...

Yes there are a couple of new features for 6130 in ver15. So if u dont have it done, get it right away!

3G CDMA prices will crash soon November 04, 2005 | Rediff.com CDMA mobile pioneer Qualcomm is banking on BREW (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless), its open source application development platform for wireless devices, to deliver the next killer-app for the fast-growing data services market - interactive gaming and TV on mobile phones/PDAs and so on. Kanwalinder Singh, President of Qualcomm India and Saarc, speaks to Business Standard, while preparing for a BREW Developers lab in Mumbai. Excerpts: Has BREW taken off in India? Globally, its popularity is rising. KDDI, Japan's second-largest mobile phone company, gets 40-50 per cent of its ARPUs (average revenue per user) from data revenue, while Verizon and Sprint earn $20-$50 a month from data. We don't divulge operator numbers in India, but data is already contributing 10-20 per cent of the overall ARPUs. Tata is among the top 10 in the world in terms of the number of BREW downloads. How is BREW different from GSM's (Global System for Mobile Communications) data offering? GSM does not have any real data capabilities, it is essentially voice-centric. It use capabilities such as EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) to simulate data capabilities. CDMA provides a much larger pipe for data to be carried. Yet, the country seems to be preferring GSM. BSNL is looking at 60 million GSM lines now. Of the 250 million target of 2007, what will be the CDMA share? As a percentage of the share of new subscribers, we are already at about 36 per cent and our ambition is to go to 50 per cent. GSM, of course, started earlier MA. The quiet stin India than CDory of success in BSNL has been the roll out of fixed-wireless for offering both voice and data connectivity. And the company is investing with targets of 6 to 20 million in the next few years. The numbers still don't work out. We have 110 million fixed and mobile lines already. BSNL is adding another 60 million GSM lines. Private GSM players are looking at maintaining their market share. So how do you expect to get your 50 per cent share of the incremental market? BSNL has said it will invest in infrastructure for 60 million lines, but the market share depends on subscriber acquisition, which is a different thing. Given the growth of the two CDMA operators, I don't see a problem. In any case, BSNL's tender is looking at evolving to WCDMA (3G GSM services), which is a CDMA technology. Isn't India still a price-sensitive and voice-centric market? Many people will be surprised at how data will catch on even in rural India, just as they were surprised with data penetration in urban areas. The rural consumer will ask for information on prices of commodities, on weather, which helps him in his work. Will prices crash further with 3G? CDMA 2000 brought about a drastic drop in tariffs, and the same will happen with 3G - 3G means that with the same spectrum you can get more voice capacity and that will lower prices. When CDMA started some three years ago the prices of devices was around $150, and this fell to around $50 last year, given the volumes of 20 million-plus. I think WCDMA prices will cost around $150 today. But once you adopt a new technology and get economies of scale we expect the same fall in 3G CDMA devices too. We think that 100 per cent of our users of CDMA 2000 will migrate to 3G in a few years. There is a lot of debate on spectrum allocation between GSM and CDMA operators. How do you think spectrum should be allocated for 3G between the two technologies? It should be done keeping in mind the competitive dynamics of the market, so that there is competition which favours consumers and which ensures affordable tariffs. Our understanding is that whatever criterion you use, allocation should be equal - the criterion could be, for instance, the number of subscribers. But you have claimed earlier in affidavits in courts that you are four-five times more efficient than GSM, so logically you should be given less spectrum? All those arguments are irrelevant today as everyone has the same universal service licence, and are paying the same licence fees, too. In fact, CDMA operators have been deprived of spectrum as they have been given only half that given to GSM players. We do not want to go back and forth on who is efficient. There should be an equal criterion for all operators - whether CDMA or GSM - and they can use any technology they choose to. Let the market then decide. There is a perception that WCDMA will be the real 3G from the GSM side while your offering is EVDO (Evolution Data Only). GSM companies say that your CDMA2000 is essentially equivalent to GPRS and EDGE. What is your view? CDMA2000 has the same capability today that GSM will provide when it evolves to WCDMA. Our devices cost $50 while their devices will cost $150 when they come. We already provide a nationwide network of CDMA2000 while EDGE and GPRS has still not been rolled out nationwide. EVDO, which will be priced at $150, would have a much better experience than CDMA2000.

Jus to answer all of you'll one by one... Recently i had got a LG 6130,upgraded to S/w ver 15. I uploaded the phone book, and tried downloading the same after the upgradation. I wasn't able to do it for 2 whole days. Some network/upgradation issue at RIM end, as usual. After 2 days, i tried again, and i was able to download it. So in case u r facing some problem, it might jus be temporary. Abt the data loss. If u notice phones like LG 2030, had space for 5 numbers in each entry, whereas LG 6130 has space for only 4nos. in each entry. The missing entry is the FAX number. Maybe thats the data lost while downloading. There are certain handsets where Downloading is not compatible. And truly speaking u cant come to knw abt it unless you personally try it out. It was a big surprise for me, when i tried downloading the PhBk on N6235! Worked perfect on 1st try itself! No Loss!

Check this to know more.

well as of now Reliance, does not support any handsets other than those published on its website or those available at Rel Webworlds. Hence it is termed as illegal. At Rimweb.in, we do not promote any discussions on that front. Hence refrain from posting on this issue. Closing Topic

I could successfully transfer the phone book from LG 2030 to Nokia 6235 using this utility. Worked perfect!

To me it seems, that this Diwali, we had an interchange between RIM & TATA! TATA was agressive whilst RIM was absolutely dull in anouncements of some happening stuff!

Happy Diwali & New Year & Eid to all u guys! (Sorry for the late Diwali Greetings, ppl)

I found this phone to be really good in that price range. The only hitch is the four-way joystick. Too hard to use. Otherwise, perfect in all other ways. I tried using infrared between 6235 and 6225, couldn't get that to use. Any help on that? And Rajan, N2280 is available in Mumbai for Rs 2300/-

Had got an SMS from RIM for diwali greetings and also the Mumbai Commisioner's SMS greeting and warning abt the Diwali timings! both from 1232! My diwali didn't get more better wid those SMSs guys! So chill! Yeh, but the atmosphere at RIM is quite thanda! Not much for them to offer all of us!

bhutes, i think u've said it all.. Mukesh Ambani like Dhirubhai is surely a visionary. There are plenty of ppl to pull u back, but these two have only soared higher n higher... ! :-)

A couple of handsets are available in Mumbai for Rs. 1999/- where 1000/- is for Free Talktime across the next 5 months (Rs. 200 x 5). But all that talktime is only for RIM to RIM. They got to come out of this for now!

xshay, stop posting in every thread n forum for the same thing!! I hope u know what i mean! take care...

What's with Mukesh Ambani & fruits? Sangeeta Singh | October 24, 2005 Mukesh Ambani talking fruits and vegetables. Rakesh Mittal crowing over his crop of okra. Abhiram Seth planning rows of citrus cultivation. Ajay Shriram chortling over crushing sugarcane. Vineet Chhabra going ecstatic over gherkins. Planning their retirement? Turning gentlemen farmers? Neither, actually. It's just corporate India realising the potential of the agricultural sector. And figuring out that the next green revolution in the country is probably the stuff of mega-bucks. No wonder ministers and bureaucrats in Le Corbusier's Chandigarh can't stop smiling after Mukesh Ambani, chairman, Reliance India, hinted on October 17 that Punjab could be a goldmine for the supply of fruits and vegetables. Or are pleased with the fact that Bharti's experiment with agri-exports has begun from a pilot farm near Ludhiana. Ambani's holding his cards close to his chest. His visit to Chandigarh was probably just an attempt to suss out the market. But Bharti's plans are out there for everyone to see, and spearheading the effort is the group's vice chairman, Rakesh Mittal. The cap he's wearing these days is that of director, FieldFresh Foods, a joint venture between Bharti Enterprises and Rothschild. And as India's first major corporate farmer, he's less likely to be found in his office in New Delhi than checking out the soil conditions of his pilot farm. Alongside, PepsiCo India is developing saplings of kinnows in its greenhouses in the state. Why this sudden interest in agriculture? What has Bharti's telecom business to do with agriculture, or for that matter, Reliance's existing businesses? "If the country's GDP has to grow at 8 per cent, the agri-sector has to grow by 4 per cent," says Mittal. That's the politically correct spiel. But under the feel-good factor of contributing to the development of the country is a nose for hard business.
