Arunbhai Please add LG510 Cookie Zip CDMA in the handset list so that i can update my profile.
Thanks.

HURRAY.....
EVDO FINALLY ACTIVATED ON LG510 IN RELIANCE...
@Vikas Mahajan. Thanks a billion for Samsung Corby advice.
All LG510 Cookie Zip owners wanting EVDO Activation, following is the steps,
-Ensure that you are using OMH Sim Card (Sim Card with Diamond Logo)
-A default profile comes with LG510. Let it be. Create a new profile (This will be under
Browser Settings in Phone Settings). It will ask to you enter Lock Code. Enter 0000 which
is the default Lock Code. Create new profile. In browser username and password enter your
mobile no without 0. i.e if your mobile no. is 9374.... enter it like that. In Home Page,
you can enter your most frequently visited website. Do not touch dial in number. It will be
showing *777. Let it remain and SAVE the profile.Next it will Show Profile 2. Click on it and
than SET.
-Subscribe to any Data plan by going to Mobile Internet in R World.
Now call up CC at *355 (Not at *222 which is the standard CC Number. Tell him that you have a
Samsung Corby Speed and your high speed internet on Mobile is working at 1x speed and not at
EVDO speed. Request them to activate EVDO Speed. Do not say LG510 as it is not updated in their
system so by default they will say that EVDO is not possible on LG510.
There will be many other excuses, phone transfer to other department and endless excuses. Insist on
them taking a formal complaint and giving you a complaint no. Ask CC to read out what exactly he has
written in the complaint. Most of the time they do not understand and write anything and so the problem does not get resolved.
In my case 3 complaint was resolved without resolving the actual problem because they wrote different things.
48 Hours is standard time for complaint resolution. Call up again if not resolved. Persist. It will
be escalated. Again Call up. Keep on Calling. Do not know how many calls you will have to make. If
things are not going in right direction, ask them for details of Nodal Officer and tell that all
of their responses are being verbatim monitored by you and will be sent to Nodal Officer when you
take up the Complaint with Nodal Officer.
Do not get discouraged. It may get resolved finally as happenned in my case. Totally took 6 days,
huge amount of phone calls, repeating the same thing to nearly 35 different people.

I am a reliance CDMA user, kindly clarify my following doubts:
1. Do I have to subscribe to a DATA plan from Reliance to be able to browse and access emails through resident email client and Facebook?
2. Can we have 3-way conference calls which we can presently access on Reliance network?
3. Does LG510 have multi-touch?
4. How is the music quality? specially if does not have 3.5 mm Jack and we can not add any good quality Headphone/earphones?
Thanks guys.
AKS
1. Yes for any browsing except accessing R World, you will be charged need to have subscribed to either the default Data plan
which is on per MB Basis or other plans with fixed limits.
By the way where have you seen resident e mail client in this phone. I could not see it anywhere. Please tell from where to access
resident e mail client.

Interesting poll results so far. 65.57% say that they would not move.
For me there can be 5 parameters to decide:
For Reliance:
1. RCDMA provides unmatched voice quality. Virtually, it is the best in India.
2. For me, 440 unlimited plan. Will not get elsewhere. The best value proposition in terms of plans on reliance network be it prepaid or postpaid.
Against Reliance:
3. You can get more value on GSM handsets than CDMA. This is at most of the price points. I know many of you will jump on this because this forum provides variety of CDMA handsets. But I still feel that GSM gives more value for your money than CDMA. For example look at Micromax Q7. (Rs. 4800, Dual SIM, 2.3", Qwerty, 8GB expandable, Java, Bluetooth, FM, Music, 2 MPixel, GPRS, WAP, Email(pull) and WiFi) I dont think there is any match in CDMA at this price point.
4. Today is the world of Apps. And there are thousands of Apps available to run on GSM. The majority uses GSM and so these applications continue to built for them. There are some, which are really essential. For example the App you can use to book tickets from IRCTC.
5. RGSM network, still remains hopeless in Pune and Ahmedabad. So there is no point in shifting to RGSM.
Good Points
Fully agree as far as voice quality is concerned but how far you can go with only voice
quality. Now with additional spectrum for 3G available, the GSM voice quality is bound to
improve.And it is not that in GSM you do not have reasonable voice quality. This voice
quality debate reminds me of the scenario in PC Graphic Card industry where frame rates are
all that matters. Someone will spend Rs 35000 to 40000 for a shiny new graphic card which
will give him 110 frame rate whereas a budget card of Rs 5000 may give 35 frame rate. In the
process forgetting that any frame rate above 30 is virtually impossible for human eye to
differentiate the quality.
I remember browsing live TV with my LG RD 2030 (Ofcourse in B&W) so many years back. Today
after buying an EVDO Rev A complatible handset (LG510) i am still browing Live TV at 1x
speed because Reliance is not activating EVDO on my number. Despite selling the same handset
through Reliance Webworld officially, their CC says the handset is not in their system. This
is an OMH Card Handset. On the other and TATA Indicom is already selling OMH Postpaid SIM
with EVDO.
The handset choice issue is also a serious one. Either you get very low end handsets or all
high end handsets are priced nearly 40% higher then similar spec GSM handsets. Again no high
end handset is OMH Card based. So you are tied to Reliance and cannot use the handset with
any other operator.
The point of this forum providing variety of CDMA handsets is undisputed. But look at it
from a normal non tech savvy user point of view the pitfalls of using such a handset,
-After spending whatever amount and buying the greatest handset like Incredibles, Palms and
Blackberries, you are never able to utilise the full functions of the handset. For browsing
you are at 1x, GPS is a hit and miss affair. Pushmail cannot work for BB (Unless you do some
cracking, install some software and what not). You are never sure of any warranty when the
handset develops any defect and are not going to get any support from official channels.
Again majority of the proponents of this type of handset on this forum will fall into
following categories,
-Extremely tech savvy.
-People with very good budgets for handsets (What else when you change handsets costing Rs
20000-25000 every six months.)
-People who have got DATA surprises. Ask someone who has to pay to Reliance horribly priced
data packages for CDMA and in addition paying Rs.5/- per MB as network usage charges. This
when in the GSM world you get Rs. 98/- 2 GB with practically any operator.
-People for whom sense of achievement enjoyed when cracking a handset is far more than real
world value in terms of Budget, Features etc.
For a normal consumer the constraint may not be of budget when using imported cracked
handsets. Many in my family have budgets and riches which will enable them to buy the
highest cost handsets like Incredibles and change them every 3 month. I have never seen any
one of them using a high end official CDMA. Reason, they want simplicity and peace of mind.
Also they do not have the time to take all this efforts.
Again the argument here would that GPRS or EDGE will not give you similar speeds like CDMA
20001x. Agreed in CDMA you may go upto 144 Kbps whereas in EDGE real world rarely you go
beyond 80 Kbps. But whether at 80 Kbps or 144 Kbps, you cannot do any serious browsing or
downloading. You will use only as a stop gap arrangement for checking & replying mails, light browsing
when you are travelling. Once you reach your work place or home, you already have access to broadband.
Please do not take this as any de meaning of all this people. They are all real bright stars
who have tried to unshackle the poor tied down CDMA customer of India but the revolution has
not reached the end user. Count the members of this forum which is approx 44,000 i suppose.
Count the no. of members of this forum having access to such handsets. May be 25%. Now see
the CDMA Subscriber no. of Reliance. MILLIONS. You get the point. I am only discussing here
the scenario from an Ordinary Consumer's point of view.
Applications:
Another huge problem area. Most of the CDMA handsets are BREW based and do not support JAVA.
So you just cannot install any application. Even BREW handsets having JAVA support allows
only limited applications to be installed. The bundled browsers of CDMA handsets are no more
than a joke. You know that Opera MINI is available but cannot use it.
Enough of my 7 year Reliance CDMA customer experience rant resulting in such a long post.
This is really getting intersting. All Gurus, Members, newbies, in fact any Reliance CDMA customer please pour your heart out here.
Thanks.

OK, given below is a list of some good opensource & free CRM &/or ERP solutions - I am assuming you wouldn't want to spend too much and comml ones are quite expensive. Many of these like opentaps compiere etc are used by MNCs like Toyota, Honeywell etc. so they aren't bad at all. There are some other opensource solutions like SugarCRM which have good support but they are not free - though cheaper than comml ones.
However, before you get into these, here's some advise based on my own experiences earlier in my career in running a small company:-
First, I would suggest that you decide exactly what (& WHY) you need a CRM solution for ?
If you are looking at a small salesforce/workforce of say 10-20 people it may be better to use something simpler as CRM/ERP solutions will take up huge management bandwidth and also require a lot of rigidity in your internal policies and practices which are not possible for smaller businesses which are changing very quickly.
Even if you are looking at a larger sales/work force, i would recommend hiring a good experienced marketing/sales manager rather than spending time and money on CRM/ERP.
Its nearly impossible to fit the infinite range of human behaviours into a set of software rules unless you can afford to have a year or so of time to smoothen out & adapt your policies to your market/product & people and the deep pockets to keep paying the people while you do this.
Its much better that each sales person uses his own low tech ways to keep track of his leads/calls/sales rather than centralizing such things. And 1-4 managers/team leaders give your simplified inputs on the performance and take your simple directions/strategy and convert it into actual tactical/operational plans for the salesmen.
Things at the top of the business hierarchy need to be pretty simplified - and that can only happen if the responsibilities are given to some leaders down the line to use their own brains on how to achieve objectives within given costs & time budgets.
Running a business like a techie is a big NO NO - unless you want to remain small & niche - & even then its difficult. You will need to keep your time & mind on your business rather than the shiny new complex software/hardware which eats up your days while your employees get lesser time to interact with you. You need to leave those things to others - EVEN IF THEY DO A MUCH WORSE JOB THAN YOU. You can only direct.
Most probably what you need is a good contact manager, scheduler or some simple workflow system which can be done by using microsoft's outlook or access add-ins and some well though out paper forms and ledgers/journals.
Here is a simple writeup/overview of CRM (from sugarcrm) - if you think carefully you'll realize that you need this ONLY AFTER your sales guys have been getting good & stable level of sales for at least 6-12 months and you are expanding rapidly and so your managers need these tools to perform better/quicker/cheaper.
Till you are in the start up phase (ie products, customer segments & business models changing rapidly - since you are trying out different things to survive and junking what doesn't work while selecting & improving on what does..) you don't need these things really.
Anyways, that my 2penny worth of thoughts. I am not really aware of your business plans so i could be entirely wrong. Here's the list of CRM packages/solutions (in the order of what i think would be good for you)
Also here's some free & opensource online/e-commerce s/w - I think what what you really need is something like this to manage an online transaction point - if you're a techie then its always better not to compete with the offline people but to use your strengths and have more online presence with only the minimum required offline support. :
Whew ! Long Post. I can't seem to resist giving advice - must be growing old !
Every word in this post worth its weight in GOLD! This is called real experience and no degrees can beat it! Completely agree with what you say. Infact my experience was very similar to all the pitfalls you outlined. Ultimately i designed a simple Excel Worksheet with various data being input and later analysed and commented upon by Seniors. SADIKBHAI please read Mr. Amitabh Ranjan's post TEN Times atleast, digest it fully and the knowledge which you will get will save you huge amounts, time wastages and frustation. The same piece of advice would cost you enormous amount of money if you go to a Marketing or CRM Consultant.
This forum is blessed with really talented members. Lucky to be part of it!

but i cant track sales leads, sales, after sales, customers interactions and customers complaints on the go on tally..
heard this can be done with CRM.. as everything is in clouds...
not sure what i want but need something to keep track of everything anytime i want..
Tally will be of no use for you as your main focus is CRM.
Checkout the following product links for your requirements
Goldmine Goldmine CRM By Frontrange

Have used Goldmine and Salesforce both but long time ago. All 3 software above are leading CRM Products. Salesforce is a product used by many
Indian companies and they have different models from Small Business to Enterprise and Cloud support.

If a member selects NO, additional option of "I am not shifting from Reliance CDMA" added to 2nd Question.
SORRY!

@Greatest why dont u install one small BTS at your place, fight with same weapon !...LOL
@DK free ka maal nahi milega na ! so stick to reliance.
LOL on all my comments
I am not gona leave this RCDMA, from last 4years using same service without any problem , voice clarity is soo sooooo good others cannot imagine !
@Mehta ji
Topic poll ko edit kato, if i select NO, why should i select 2nd operator ?
Oh Sorry for the blunder. Edited Now!

but Cdma customers can change over to cdma network only...
Not necessarily Vikasji. MNP Scheme to be introduced in India is Technology Neutral. So it does not distinguish between CDMA and GSM.
As a CDMA Customer you will have two choices available keeping your current Mobile Number Intact,
-You can switch to a GSM Operator but you will need to have a GSM Handset as your current CDMA handset cannot work on GSM.
-You can switch to a CDMA Operator and you will not need to change your Current Handset.
Handsets bought from Reliance Officially which are locked to their network is still a grey area. OMH handsets will work
with all CDMA Operators. Logically when a Choice is given to Customer for switching network, his handset cannot be tied
to a particular operator as he has already paid for the handset. Expect good amount of public debate and litigation on
this front.

Hello All Reliance CDMA Subscribers both postpaid and prepaid.
Mobile Number Portability will be introduced from October 2010 (Hopefully this time)
Are you tired being a Reliance CDMA Customer for any reason?
Do you intend to switch Operators once MNP option is available to you?
Please share your views by participating in the Poll.
May be your views will be an eye opener for Reliance!
Voice of many always counts.
Thanks All!

this proves the fact that getting evdo is so messy even on official phones
evdo needs to be activated by backend
unless they autenticate it wont work
LG people have nothing to do with it
Please...Please ellaborate what is process involved for getting EVDO activated by backend. What do you need to tell this idiots?
Do you need to go to some place and do any procedure. Please share your knowledge with us sulking souls. Not getting EVDO despite
having compatible and official handset is like not consumating your marriage on the first night and being stopped by silly excuses.
How frustating can that be!
On a sidenote that nice Speedtest Result of yours Shows Cellular in the service Provider. Must be EVDO. You are getting it on which
handset? Is it Reliance Network? Is it Official Reliance phone or you have been able to get EVDO on imported handset?
-
Bought LG510 Cookie Zip with great hopes of browsing on EVDO speed as it is EVDO Rev.A. I fulfill all requirements of EVDO like,
-Using OMH Sim Card.
-Subscribed to data package.
-Handset is EVDO.
My handset is showing both EVDO and 1x Signal bars at full strength but the moment you connect the browser, it is connecting at
1x Speed only. Even with PC Connection, the speed is 1x only.
So started with Reliance Customer Care. Called them about the problem. By now, i have made nearly 12 Calls to them, 2 Complaint No.,
Speaking to Floor Leader, Sending Email to Customer Care and in the whole process wasting nearly 6 hours. Various responses given
by them during the conversations is really worth a read,
-EVDO Service is not yet launched and will be launched in September.
-Does your handset have IMEI No. please provide the same.
-This handset is not EVDO capable.
-This handset is not in our system and so EVDO is not possible on it.
-Please contact LG Service center for your problem.
-Did you activate the handset (This when i told them that i was calling from the same handset.
-This handset is not yet available. (This when i told them to have a look at their own website listing the same handset under CDMA Phones.
So now started with LG Customer Care Helpline. Another Nightmare. Because the moment you start describing your problem, you are told that
they will transfer the line to Mobile Department and the instant they do that, the line gets disconnected.
Again tried with a suggestion given by one of the member of our forum Vikas Mahajan in a separate post to tell that you have Samsung Corby.
Lodged a fresh complaint with the same. Did not work.
Truly disgusted with Reliance.
All the members, does any one have found any solution for this. Please share your solution, experience, anything.
Alternatively, all owners of LG510 facing the same problem, please post on this thread. Together we can do something about it.
brother only way to get your evdo activated on ur handset is already stated in my post that u have read.... i suggest you to ask CC at *355 broadband customer care not the netconnect 1x dept. I am sure ur call goes to 1x dept. ask them to transfer to broadband plus dept. Call on *355 and also not on *222 or *333 or 198 which are CC for reliance cdma mobile .
So when you are finally connected to Broadband dept ask them that u have corby and broadband plus service is not active on your number and also ask them to refer that complaint id which was made on same problem and was solved successfully, u can get that complaint id from my post. that complaint was made by KAMLESH ( a CC represntative) .
Also they have a technical term called as [ A12AUTH ] if this is inactive then broadband plus service does not works , ask them to check if this is active or inactive on ur number. As one of my friends bb+ data card was deactivated due to Documents problem and when it was reactivated only 1x worked but BB+ was not working then i filed a complaint and CC told me that ur [ A12AUTH ] is inactive and they cant make complain for that as there is no option for it so they mailed for it at their level and next day on my confirmation when it was not done again they took request and BB+ got activated
Vikasji I have called on *355 also (forgot to mention in post). First they asked me to call on *222. When i persisted, they had the same reply saying LG510 is not showing in their system but EVDO can work on Samsung Corby Speed. Next i tried your solution calling them again and saying that i have replaced my handset to Samsung Corby Speed. Now please activate EVDO. They guy could not find the activation details and took a complaint which is still not resolved. Will definately try you A12 authentication method.

Can someone confirm reliance activates EVDO for this handset. The problem is that reliance has even defeated the very purpose of OMH and one needs to get evdo activated from the backend even if OMH card is used ( what is the point of OMH, can someone explain to reliance please if they just block the settings from the backend )
Yes we need to ask CC at *355 to activate Broadband+ service .... we have to fight alot to make them understand our problem.... if one wants to activate evdo you need to ask them to activate broadband service and force them to write a complaint for it...
U also need to tell them that u have samsung corby becoz they say that in LG510 there is no evdo
For refrence you can have this complaint number : 133902393 this was same complaint written for evdo activation on OMH of LG510 by saying its in corby. This complaint number was successfully solved and my friends broadband was got activated.
Friends plzzzzzz help me to get Prog code for LG510 .... My friend needs it plzzz help
Thanks And Regards
Vikas Mahajan
So when EVDO is activated by this method for LG510, Do You get EVDO Speed both for browsing on the handset as well as PC or only for PC Browsing.
Secondly which tariff plan applies for browsing. RCom site has different plans for Netconnect+. There are 2 other plans for mobile browsing
-In Plan 99 only browsing allowed no download.
-In Plan 299 both browing and download.
Can you have EVDO Speed both for mobile or PC if you subscribe to Plan 99 or Plan 299 or you have to necessarily subscribe to Netconnect+ plans only to get EVDO.
-
Can anyone help me to view internet browser in Landscape mode (horizontal mode)in LG Cookie Zip.
It is very difficult to browse the pages in vertical mode,
Sorry to disappoint you but you cannot browse in Landscape mode in LG Cookie Zip. There is no setting for doing this. Surprisingly in their publicity material titled LG510 Launch, they have shown an image of google home page in Landscape mode on this phone. I guess this is just some DTP stuff done by marketing people.

LG510 Cookie Zip is EVDO Rev.A Open Market Handset available in india at a price of Approx.Rs. 8200/-.
Check the link for specifications.

All the people wanting to know about Micromax Q5C, Here is my experience,
Bought it for Rs. 4500/-. Looked nice visually with good finish. Went home and started using it and then the dream of a economical QWERT phone on CDMA went bad. My observations,
-The keys are very cramped together and small. Invariably one will press on another adjoining key. Very tiring and not meant for people with healthy fingers. Even my wife's thin fingers could not operate it properly.
-The moment i inserted the headset for FM Radio, the phone hangs. No key works, nothing. Only option remove battery and restart. Afterwords again tried for auto scan. Nothing happens. Then tried for manual frequency. No voice. I was not deep inside where the FM Signals are weak because at the same place, other phone's FM was working crystal clear. Then went outside on the road. Voilla. FM sound started with a lot of disturbance. Tried all channels. Only one channel with lot of distrubance. Nothing else in any other channel.
-The phone is having memory of only some 2.6 MB which again is the root cause of so many issues,
It is having 2 Megapixel Camera but if you shoot a photo with the highest resolution, it will shoot but the photo won't open in the phone saying size too large. You are saving the photo on memory card and not on the phone. Still no high res photo could be viewed on the phone.
Same thing with the video. At 30 FPS it gives error and does not record.
The camera is having LED Flash as touted in the specifications. Any average person will understand that Camera Flash should flash when you click a photo. But here things are different. The so called LED Flash is actually a LED Light which you can start from the phone settings. It remains on till you disable it. It is just like a torch function on many chinese phones. The light is very low. And even in little darkness, it had no effect. Just a marketing gimmick.
-There is a facility for attaching Picture ID in your contact list which is actually just on paper. Whatever size image file you try to attach, it will say file size to large. I have tried even 10kb file. Didn't work.
Internet and Browsing.
Opera Mini is preinstalled but when you launch it, phone takes approx. 3 to 4 minutes saying connecting. Then the page loads. If you type another web page address or even click a link on the loaded page, it again takes 3 to 4 minuted saying Connecting. After that the page loading time is OK for a CDMA 1x connection. Forget about serious browsing even normal browsing is not possible with this phone. Lets understand this with my actual experience.
-Launched Opera MINI. Load time including connecting-3 Minutes.
-Typed GMAIL.COM and opened. Load time including connecting-4 Minutes.
-Typed USED ID and Password and LOGIN- Load time including connecting-5 Minutes.
-Clicked on the first e mail-Load time including connecting-4 Minutes.
So for checking just one e mail, time taken is 16 minutes. Useless actually.
Tried installing other JAVA browsers like BOLT and UCWEB. Both installed. UCWEB was faster then OPERA as far as page loading goes. But the problem when you click on any link and phone displaying the message Connecting was uniform across all browsers. This i suppose is with the CDMA technology when the connection is immediately terminated and then reconnected when you use internet again. There is some issue with the modem of the phone taking so long to connect again.
The phone is not having any Phonesuite. However USB and Modem Drivers are there for connecting to PC and browsing. Installed USB Drivers and connected the phone to PC. Surprisingly, the speed for PC browsing is appropriate for a 1X Connection and had no issues.
Audio Player and Sound Quality.
-The audio player standard like many chinese phones. Sound quality for phone speakers is quite loud and you can hear the audio very comfortably in a room size of approx. 150 square feet. Sound is real loud actually.
-The bundled headset is also having good loud sound. Sound in the headset is loud with more sharpness but absence of bass totally.
Video Player
-Did not play any files saying file size too large.
Call Quality and Reception
-The call sound quality and reception was excellent across locations with very clear voice even with 3 Bars of Signal out of 5 Bars.
Memory Card access with UDISK function.
-You can access the memory card with data cable with UDISK function. But the speed of copying anything by this mode was extremely slow. It took nearly 11 minutes to copy one 6 mb size mp3 file. And even then when the file was played only 25% of it played and terminated.
So for copying anything to Memory Card, you will have to always remove it and attach it to a separate memory card reader and attach to pc. Imagine every time you click a photo or want to transfer some music, you cannot do it through data cable because it will take hours but only have to use separate memory card reader.
So there are many other gripe which i don't even remember or care to remember. Ultimately after 24 hours, went to the shop from where it was purchased and requested the guy to change the handset with other brand. Now the sad part. The fellow said he will do it but deduct Rs 1500/- as he will have to sell it as second hand only even though it was used for only 24 hours. Got really annoyed. Negotiated and finally the guy agreed for deducting Rs. 900/-. Had no other option so agreed and bought LG510 Cookie Zip instead.
For all who want to buy this handset, it is useful only if you want to make and receive Calls and nothing else. So please do not fall for this trap of cheap QWERT CDMA handset. Before i bought this handset, enquired for a BB posted by Mr Dhiraj Kaile but could not go for it for the following reasons,
-There was a need for Nokia RUIM enabled Handset for doing the programming on BB handset and i did not had access to one. Enquired at many places, but could not get one.
-While i was communicating with him, my current handset died and needed one urgently.
-So i had to buy something urgently and told Mr Dhiraj the same and went ahead and bought this one urgently.
He felt that i had no intentions of buying Blackberry and got annoyed with me. Said sorry to him. Now i think he will only have sympathy for me. Truly regret not going for BB.
Advice to all fellow RIMWEB members,
-Stay away from this phone. Buy it only if you want to make and receive calls and nothing else.
-Much better to buy BB as posted by many Gurus than this one by spending more than going your total money waste.
Mods please put this in appropriate thread like reviews if this is not the right place.

@rajanmehta - watch out for my BB8830 (Black New) offer reaching me in 4-5 days with 1 New Bluetooth Headset included at 7.5K and with gps and data offer; details by pm.... others may also prebook...
Sent you a pm. Please reply

Thank you all! RIMWEB community really rocks! All kind souls ready to help as ever! Had almost finalised on Corby and then read reviews from actuals users with some serious usability issues. Have a look at the following links.
Absolute disappointment from Samsung
Just for the looks otherwise average
As for the the Metro TV, Reliance site says it is not having netconnect! Secondly was not able to find any information from Samsung Website. They have not listed the phone there. So you can forget about any support later like PC Suite download etc.
Came up with another option while searching. Micromax Q5C. This seems to be a nice QWERT OMH handset with almost everything except EVDO which is not clearly mentioned in the Specs.
Another option is the Blackberry 8830 listed today in buy sell which is higher for my budget but can consider it.
Will BB 8830 support subscribing to Reliance BB Plans. There are 3 plans one with just Pushmail and the best one having Unlimited Interenet. My question is can we subscribe to this plans for BB 8830 unlocked and listed here? How is the process?
Choice now between Micromax Q5C which is well within Budget with QWERT and almost all other Specs and BB8830 which is above the budget with doubts regarding BB Services.
Please Gurus, let your expert views flow in.
Thanks

Hi All! Need a Good CDMA Phone possibly below Rs. 6000/-. The requirements are as follows,
-Should have full HTTP browsing and possibly with EVDO Speed
-QWERT Keypad or Full Keypad
-I am already having a reliance number and it should work on the phone with the above.
-If possible both GSM and CDMA though this is not strictly essential.
-Rest all normal things like Bluetooth, MMS, Audio Video Player, PC Connectivity for backup and other things etc.
Please all Gurus let me know if any of you have any such phone in the above range.
Thanks
For EVDO you have only one choice left i.e. Samsung Metro TV its in range of 6000 to 6300 and also u can try 2nd hand samsung corby that u may get below 6000
Both the handset suit ur needs u mentioned.Both these are Rev 0 Evdo handsets i.e. speed upto 2.4 mbps
Also one new LG 510 cookie handset price 8500/- recently droped to 7500/- with some sellers , this handset is Rev A evdo with speed upto 3.1 mbps
Also currently there is no dual sim cdma+gsm handset with evdo feature.
Also to run evdo u need to transfer your num ber to OMH sim which has got evdo settings in it . After that you also need to check with CC that ur evdo service has been provisioned or not if u face any prob using evdo
I hope all your Questions have been answered
Thank You Dear For a very clear response! Have few query regarding your suggestion.
-Read somewhere that Samsung Metro TV and Corby do not allow you to browse any website. You are stuck to browsing only the prebuilt websites. Is this correct? Or you can browse any website?
-Secondly both the Samsung phones are having their own proprietary OS. Does it support JAVA? Will i be able to install browsers like Opera MINI, BOLT etc on this Samsung Phones?
-I am already having a Reliance CDMA SIM. Don't know whether it is OMH SIM or not. Any way to know whether it is OMH SIM? Even if it is not, DO reliance provide OMH SIM and at what Cost?
Sorry to ask you so many questions but had so many bad experiences of CDMA since last 7 years and changing many handsets. So this time want to make sure that I get what I need.

Does LG 510 Cookie Zip Cdma Support Java Applications And Mobile TV?
in LG

Prior to purchasing this phone, I called up LG Customer Care and asked whether this phone supports JAVA and i will be able to install Opera Mini. I was told that you cannot install Opera Mini latest version which is 5.1 but can install Ver 4.2. Now i have tried installing Opera Mini through every means possible, but the phone will not support it,
-OTA Installation. Browser loads opera mini site but when you click on install, you get Unsupported Content Message.
-Through copying the Opera Mini JAD and JAR files to memory card and trying to run it from there. Again the same message Unsupported Content.
Also tried to install other browsers like UCWEB through both OTA and Memory Card. But same message.
Called up LG Customer Care and was told to take the phone to Service Center.
Gave to Service Center. The firmware was updated from the Stock Version 105 to 108 but still the problem remains the same. The Technical person at the Service Center said that he will mail the details to their HO and will get back to me in 2 days.
Now the issue is whether this phone actually supports JAVA? Has anyone been able to install any JAVA Applications? Please share. It is outright cheating on LG's part once after confirming that the phone supports JAVA whereas actually it does not.
Also LG mentions in their marketing material LG510 Launch which is a PDF file which you can download from www.lgmobiles.com containing specifications of this phone that it is having Gmail Client. I have not seen any Email Client on this phone. Told the same to the Service Center person and again he said he will mail his bosses about this.
The update firmware basically does not improve anything except giving one option of Reliance Mobile TV when you open the R World. But here again you get the error message saying that your handset is not compatible with Reliance Mobile TV. The same feature is highlighted by LG in their marketing materials but does not work.
