In brief, oxigen machines provide printouts of almost all paper vochers of all major players.
Hence dealer doesn't hav to keep any inventory and customer doesn't have to wait for stock availability.
In case of rim it is extremely useful in gettin india cards, 495 vouchers etc whose availability is extremely volatile.
But otherwise e-recharge is now more popular due to ease of selecting the value to be recharged unlike oxigen, who give only paper vouchers.

Dude jus go for the Black 6681 for jus 14k. its 1.3 mega pixel n symbian 60. the only diff b/w 6680 n 6681 is that its non 3g n doesn't have a dual camera.
Also if ur a techie don go for motorola at all. i know v3i is a superb handset but u can't fiddle much with (softwares n all)
jus go for nokia. u'll never go for anything else again
-
well the article says both v3 n v3i would be extended, so guess it would even though im skeptical about dis.
Hey it jus occured to me imagine a kewl Black Razr cdma n a huge rim logo below the external screen like in the kyo 7135. Man it would totally ruin the look!!!
-
@khs 123- i think there is a scheme on hutch postpaid where u get monthly 1000 mins free 2 any hutch.
-
well lts jus hope that rimdoesn't make a crap out of dis handset by locking its gud features
-
well akshat, i am aware of the threads goin on and a daily user of rimweb ( even though not much of a poster) and secondly the thread u are referring to contains all UNOFFICIAL informations similar to nokia 6265 thread. i am not judging the authenticity of info on part of the sources of users or the users themselves. But these posts are more of predictions or wishful thinking which don't have a established supportive base.
The prime reason of me to post this topic was because of the degree of assurance brought by Economic Times which does preceed over the vague predictions.
i don't meant to be rude or offensive, have a nice day and do take good care of urself.

First a lil brief about my self, i've been wid reliance since it started (dapo) n now currently in prepaid and soon to switch over to gsm aswell. My first phone was samsung sch n191( dead motherboard) next was lg 6000( the best looking in rim), later kyocera(my biggest mistake coz it just went kaboom after 1 month, n still remains lifeless wid me coz no one wants to purchase it and im not to keen on gettin it repaired) and now the samsung slim(second hand)
Now back to the topic.
hope u read the thread about the launch of Razr Cdma next week. i know u all must be excited once again, previously being in the case of nokia 6255(first bluetooth on cdma) , kyocera 7135 and the ever awaited nokia 6265.
But the case ain't same wid me, blame it on my luck with rim or whateva. hope the following points make it clear.
1.Difficulties in reselling the handsets.
The biggest flaw reliance has is that the handsets are network locked and cannot be sold further easily. This may not be much prevelant for low priced handsets but in case of high end phones this problem is just intrinsic.
i've been to the very famous gaffar market, delhi just to find out that the only phones which are traded are for less than 1000 bucks. (even i got a samsung slim for 550 bucks
) But the point is that in this era of ever changing technology we do have to consider the resale price of handsets and lets just face it phones(cdma) launched in india are not even a blurred image compared to the phones in other cdma markets so why spent so much for these outdated handsets.
2. Brand image of motorola.
Motorola has not been able to set up a good brand name in the indian cdma market as compared to that of others due to poor quality of its handsets and not having a good network of authorised service centres. And mind the after ales serivice provided by ASC's does matter alot, i've learnt it the hard way from my mistake of purchasing kyocera 7135 which still remains lifeless.
Even the previous model of motorola v730 was a disaster. From what i read here, almost every piece contained software problem and was subject to replacement. I am not still sure of this and am not aware if there was a possible bug fix later on.
3. Why did the Razr sold like hot cakes??
Was it the slim n sexy design, was it the various colors( black, pink, silver) or the brand of motorola???
The answer acc to me is NO, it only sold because of the massive cut in its price, mind u it launched for 30k n above and back then it was a complete failure just like the nokia 8800 which was only meant for the Look Concious.
But i do appreciate the razr v3i which contained the external memory, just what it exactly reqd.
4. Inconsistency or rather clever sales techniques on part of rim regarding its schemes.
Well we've all been there and expirienced it atleast once or maybe 1000 of times. Its no secret that reliance has always kept changing its schemes which we always used to simply love. And the younger Ambani is more keen on getting revenues rather than customer satisfaction(u can browse the unlimeted posts made by rim members)
perfect examples for above point can be the withdrawal of rs 55 sms unlimited, 440 voucher, on-net packs, change in india card schemes,180 sms card etc, etc, etc........
5. Gsm as a substitute
Well as the trend i see it the customer base(including me) is shifting again towards the earlier generation technology ie Gsm. even they provide competent rates like airtel-airtel 10p, 1500 local sms on hucth two 2 talk and many more. And the handsets!!!!!!!!!
the are just like fantasies or science fictions for the cdma users. The most advanced handet in cdma(india), according to me is nokia 6255 priced at 12800 and in gsm i can get a nokia 6600 for 10000/- or better yet pay a 1000 bucks more to get black nokia 6681(my next phone 
).even the Nokia 6265 is going to be priced more than its gsm twin and doesn't even have symbian base.But, But, But
but we still can't leave reliance can we?
, yeah lets face it it does offer cheapest calls and does have a excellent coverage and the free roaming(dunno how long that will last)That's the prime reason im not leaving reliance altogether.Also i believe reliance has huge untapped potential and also i think that lil ambani would now focus on cdma again now that he has been denied to use both cdma n gsm together
Possible solution????
For people like me who need to make std to that special someone and are totally sick of reliance but can't afford the gsm call rates do what i do.
Me n my gf both hav rim prepaid she used to recharge wid 330 and i wid 1100. Now i've purchased a hutch connection n now i'll recharge her cell wid 1100 n rs 90 recharge for my rim(lifetime incomin in installments) and 330 amount for my hutch along with hutch two to talk voucher for rs 60 for 1500 local sms free and half the call rates.
Effective increase in cost per moth comes out to be 90 if u don wan free sms which i know many of us cann easily afford.
But it has a negative point of keepin 2 handsets but not compared to fact that i hav always dreamed of havin a high tech phone(imagine the loads of softwares n ringtones im gonna put
)FINALLY I CONCLUDE THAT ITS NOT WORTH INVESTING IN HIGH PRICED CDMA HANDSETS.
The above topic is meant for a discussion n i would appreciate it if you would pool inur thoghts as well.

Now, Moto Razr on CDMA platform
Joji Thomas Philip NEW DELHI
COME next week, the ultra slim Moto Razr, the handset that has been credited with the turnaround in Motorola’s fortunes in India, will be available in the CDMA platform. The company is in the final stages of working out a bundling arrangement with both Tata Teleservices and Reliance Communications for the launch of the CDMA Razr in the country.
The launch of the CDMA version will also see Motorola become the first handset vendor to have tie-ups with all private service providers on both technological platforms — currently, it has an agreement with Bharti Airtel for its C117, with Hutchison Essar for C113 and a tie-up with Idea Cellular for C114. GSM users of Moto Razr have a choice of two models — V3 and the V3i, priced at about Rs 9,500 and Rs 12,000, respectively. Company exec utives said that both these models would be extended to CDMA customers too on the same price platform. Following this, Motorola also plans to enter the music phone segment with the launch of the Moto “Rokr”, which is slat ed to enter India in the next quarter, com pany executives added. The company may however be a touch late with its en try into the MP3 phones segment as Nokia, Siemens and Sony Ericsson have already launched dedicated music phones here. The only edge that the “Rokr” holds is that it will play dig ital music using the very famil iar iTunes interface and it also syncs quickly and easi ly with iTunes on one’ computer. Meanwhile Motorola, on Tuesday an nounced a com prehensive memo randum of under standing with Indian Institute of Technol ogy to strengthen its research and devel opment initiatives in the country.

Google for Rockbox. i've using it for about 2 weeks in my ipod video.
Loads of additional games and other plugins. however, i keep switching the user interface when listening only songs coz high bit rate songs tend to skip on rockbox.
Otherwise i jus luv it, u can play doom, have themes and custom WPS(while playing screen) n a lot more.

Here's my two cent..... I used 2 face the problem of finding the india cards as well, when i located a small grocery store having the facility of "OXIGEN". it allows the dealer to sell cards of various subscribers and of various denominations aswell in electronic print out format.
No need to search for paper vouchers now.
-
The balance is the major concern for me coz i had got it filled with the 1100 card jus 2 days back!!!! The whole balance is gettin wasted coz of this stupid roaming. Also, another 50 bucks wiped out yesterday nite, i belive now im being charged 2.5 for outgoing and incoming aswell.
-
If they had provided me a number of another region then why am i being charged now, that too after about a year of usage without any problems?????
I had the conversion done from Bali nagar webworld, Delhi. wherein i paid 200 bucks and recieved a new number
this was about a year back.
-
@sexygurl- u hav got a nice plan but the problem is the availability of these cards( atleast in my region) i hav never seen a 220 card in stock whereas the 110 card is also subject to fluctuations after 2 months or so.

plz refer to my previous post
http://www.rimweb.in/forums/index.php?s=&s...indpost&p=61236
Now the situation in, wheneve i make local calls in Dehradun (up west), i am charged 40p for rim n 1rs for others n also gettin the free sms.But when i make a std call to rim im being charged 2.5 rs
When i sent my colleague to WW Rajpur road and after explaining my prob thrice via phone , dey tell me that in 1100/- e recharge u can make calls@1rs and not 40p for rim 2 rim. i was like WTF and den to top it all the tell me the number i have is of up(east) that is why i am being overcharged. I told them that i had this number converted from your own web world and u gave me this number a YEAR back. earlier to this, no problems were present.
Finally they suggested me that i have to change the number and pay attention how
"sir, u will have to put your old number in some other phone via hcc and then u will be charged 200 for converting your number to a Up west circle"
On hearing this i simply roared that This is PURCHASING a new connection and NOT converting an old one!!!!!!!
And also i have already paid u 200rs a year back and if u give me a number of some other region that is not my problem!!!!!!
the reply was astonishing that "we can't do any thing else, u will have pay charges and u cannot retain your previous balance and number"
To sum it all up i've recieved the balance and for local calls charges are as per plan but for std i am being charged roaming. And i had checked the region of number from arun's post of MOBILE CODES, and indeed the number is of up(east).
I've already mailed to service assurance cell, AGAIN. Dunno wat to do else.I have been already been duped for 150 bucks for excess charges and still dey are asking for more.
Please help If any 1 can.

@gwan i am posting my letter to service assurance cell only for u and to clear it up i've been wid reliance since it started its dapo offer.(now im under prepaid) and have seen everything: ending free sms, removing free on net calling, free r-connect bug, removing free std plan and the quality of handsets as well. But i do as well appreciate the call rates and the superior coverage whereas at the same time i oppose the policy of time and again targeting new customers without any efforts of retaing the old ones.
dear sir/madam,
I, Manish Gidwani, am mailing you as a last resort for redressal of host of inconviniences faced by me on part of your service of One India Plan and inefficient customer support which bring huge disgrace towards your prestigious brand.
i had purchased a rim connection in DELHI which was later on converted into a number of DEHRADUN (93xxxxxx)
I had recharged this number with 1100/- one india e-recharge voucher on this phone from DELHI on May 16,2006
Since then i've been facing several problems which are as follows -:
1. I had recieved an amount of rs 730/- instead of rs 750/- as mentioned on your website.
2. I am being overcharged for my calls and sms (approx. rs 2.5 for STD to another rim)and after REPEATED attempts to contact your customer support and explaing my whole problem again and again, i've been always asked to "contact after sometime" because of "technical problems" and not providing a service request number despite of me demanding the same.
3. I had conveyed to the customer support my problem and the response i recieved was that my mobile was on ROAMING, whereas the mobile has been always present in the local area.
I request you to please look into the matter and please revert back the excessive charges levied upon me and provide me the call charges as per my plan.
Looking forward for a prompt action.
Manish Gidwani
p.s- I may be contacted on 093xxxxxx
