Yes. It is allowing unlimited downloading through UIM also in addition to MBlaze data. I'm downloading films now and data balance is not getting deducted.

Rudradeep (inception), are you listening?

^ paytm requires registration and so does freecharge. Hence, H.V. Nath's query remains unanswered.

^ India is unique in many counts. Ammong many things some widely accepted services failed in India, e.g. numeric pager service, voice mail service and MMS. My assessment for failure of pager service is due to free incoming calls here in India (it isn't free in USA). Just give a missed call and you get a call back. But in the era of 4G service in USA, pager is still the most affordable and reliable option.

^ I too follow the same principle. Never to miss-call anybody and always to block a new number if found spam or pesky. Even after getting blocked, some callers try to call at odd hours (deep in the night e.g. at 2:00am) and in the morning I find a good number of blocked calls.

This is a regular phenomenon with me. I go on receiving calls from many countries. I use two special numbers, that might be the reason.

It's hassle free at my place too. Just generate a porting code, approach the Tata store, fill up MNP form, wait for few days and your number gets activated.

Oh yes, I found that on my Incredible2. But what about Fascinate? Why this is not a default option on android? Even cheap phones have SMS delivery option as a default feature.

Handset -- Fascinate/ hTc Incredible2 Mobile Number 9233445566 (Tata)/ 9434353637 (MTS) Handset Type -- OMH / MEID registered : MEID registered (Fascinate) / OMH (Inc2) Issue Faced at -- Everywhere (Home/Roaming) Issue Not faced at -- Nowhere Home Network --- Rest of West Bengal I want to reiterate the question once again: Is there any option of SMS delivery notification in Android? If yes, how to activate it? However, I never faced the 0=D problem.

My Incredible 2 got updated a couple of days back for Google Play.

This one and way2sms seem helpful only on blackout days. Otherwise the SMS tariffs are so low that I'd hardly use these cumbersome processes.

My postpaid Tata connection is on Fascinate. Extracting the number from into an OMH RUIM for the check, and putting my number back into Fascinate after the test is a cumbersome process. However, I'll try to test it.

^ Google apps e.g. Maps, Market will not work on wap. Also full-fledged browsing is not possible with Tata wap on Android. But this was very much possible on Windows mobile 6.5. I used to use wap (Rs. 94 pack, now it is Rs. 95) for internet banking, YouTube, gmail, maps with navigation, IRCTC bookings, reading epapers among many other web based sites like my official online works on hTc Touch. Now on Android I miss that cheapest internet. Better mobile browsers like Opera mini or Dolphin do not run on Android if accessed with Tata wap. Reading vernacular websites like Bangla, Hindi etc is possible with Opera mini only. As only stock browser of Android works on Tata wap, those websites will show boxes only, any Facebook post in Indian languages or the signature of Kamal bhai will appear as boxes only. Problems are exactly the same on postpaid. I'm on postpaid.

^ Yes, these plans work fine while roaming without any extra charge. In addition to the mobile internet wap plans, Tata DoCoMo CDMA has HSIA packs as follows: Rs. 100/ 256 MB Rs. 300/ 1 GB Rs. 500/ 2 GB Rs. 950/ 5 GB Rs. 1000/ 10 GB Rs. 1500/ 15 GB Unlike MTS, Tata's high speed data isn't omnipresent, rather limited to big towns only. Also Tata doesn't allow activation of usage-based (MB/GB) packs of data with pay-per-second voice plans (of course for unknown strange reasons). @ ashok, as you are having hTc incredible 2, go for MTS. The voice plans are attractive too.

The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Centre to implement the ambitious interlinking of rivers in a time-bound manner and appointed a high-powered committee for its planning and implementation. Observing that the project has already been delayed resulting in an increase in its cost, a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice S H Kapadia said the Centre and the concerned state governments should participate for its "effective" implementation "in a time bound manner". The bench, also comprising justices Swatanter Kumar and A K Patnaik, appointed a high powered committee comprising of representatives of various government departments, ministries, experts and social activists to chart out and execute the project. The committee will comprise of Union Minister of Water Resources, its secretary, Secretary of Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) and four expert members appointed by Water Resources Ministry, Finance Ministry, Planning Commission and MoEF. Representatives from state governments, two social activists and senior advocate Ranjit Kumar, who has been assisting the court in the case, will also be members of the committee. "We direct the Union of India to forthwith constitute a committee for interlinking of rivers," the bench said, adding "we direct the committee to implement the project". "The committee shall plan for implementation of the project," the bench said, adding the delay has already resulted in an increase in the cost of the project. The river interlinking project was the brainchild of the NDA government and in October, 2002, the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had formed a task force to get the project going against the backdrop of the acute drought that year. A Centre-appointed task force had in a report recommended division of the project into two - the peninsular component and the Himalayan component. The Peninsular component-- involving the rivers in southern India-- envisaged developing a 'Southern Water Grid' with 16 linkages. This component included diversion of the surplus waters of the Mahanadi and Godavari to the Pennar, Krishna, Vaigai and Cauvery. The task force had also mooted the diversion of the west-flowing rivers of Kerala and Karnataka to the east, the interlinking of small rivers that flow along the west coast, south of Tapi and north of Mumbai and interlinking of the southern tributaries of the river Yamuna. The Himalayan component envisaged building storage reservoirs on the Ganga and the Brahmaputra and their main tributaries both in India and Nepal in order to conserve the waters during the monsoon for irrigation and generation of hydro-power, besides checking floods. The task force had identified 14 links including Kosi-Ghagra, Kosi-Mech, Ghagra-Yamuna, Gandak-Ganga, Yamuna- Rajasthan, Rajasthan-Sabarmati, Sarda-Yamuna, Farakka- Sunderbans, Brahmaputra-Ganga, Subernarekha-Mahanadi, and Ganga-Damodar Subernarekha. The task force had also concluded that the linking of rivers in the country would raise the irrigation potential to 160 million hectares for all types of crops by 2050, compared to a maximum of about 140 million hectares that could be generated through conventional sources of irrigation. The fate of the ambitious Rs 5,00,000 crore project proposing linkages between major rivers by the year 2016 hasremained a virtual non-starter and the detailed project report (DPR) is in cold storage.

Thanks Rajan ji. Bought it today for one of my friends.

Absence of a secondary cam is a big factor which will prevent me to choose this handset.

I thought it logically before. If any application is stored (a major portion of many applications, mostly data are stored) in the card, when the application runs it becomes sluggish if the data transfer is slow. Thanks Rajan ji for the reproduction of the useful information here, and kudos to Vinay ji for pictorial representation of 'eye-opener'. You are so witty!

Galaxy Y duos should be a bit cheaper. It should have a better battery. Ace duos will surely be a Moto XT800 killer.
