  1. Yeah, I don't think thats the way these phones (Motorola A840) work. Typically these phones allow you to use the CDMA service nationally and the GSM service when you roam international. So essentially Tata would give you a GSM SIM card that you can use with the phone while roaming outside India.

    The main advantages for this phone is that it will allow you to seamlessly switch between CDMA & GSM while roaming globally and it does not require you to store/sync phone nos/messages etc between two different (CDMA & GSM) handsets.


  2. I am most disappointed to see that people haven't yet started speculating about the gPhone and how it will cure world hunger! :) Cummon people lets hear how Reliance will adopt the phone and slash prices at the same time!!!


  3. Anurag: Dude, I don't think thats an apples to apples comparison because the V3M has EVDO and more internal memory (23 MB vs 8 MB) and some other jazz built in. The i has a better display though.

    But I agree with you 12.5k for a 1 year old phone (that too from Motorola) is certainly not worth it.


  4. Every one and every thing is a "iPhone killer"!!!!

    But dudes how do you kill something that doesn't exist!!! Or that 100% of these self proclaimed experts no squat about in terms of specs/features and of course how it will do in the market. These killer reports are insane!

    Everything is compared to a product that not more than 5 people outside Apple have seen/touched for not more than 10 minutes each.

    If you see a touch screen phone people... call it a touch screen phone.


  5. I really don't think that can be technologically done, i.e. keeping the voice calls in CDMA & data in WCDMA. Of course dual mode handsets are available nowadays at premium pricing. However none of them can run both modes simultaneously. So CDMA players can either go EVDO or rot in hell.

    HP dude seem to through a lot of engineering hoola at us dumb non-techie folk. Somehow you don't want to agree that WCDMA stuff cant run on CDMA handsets.

    Just three questions... how can CDMA and WCDMA exist in the same space? Has anyone ever done it? What makes you think RIM will?


  6. hpnasik: despite similar names WCDMA is actually an upgrade of GSM. Reliance will have to go for some version of EVDO which is a CDMA technology.

    aksha: lowering your speed wont help in this case... because the problem is that the connection will completely drop at times. Its best to keep an active ping and if you can set the interval to every 5 seconds or so.


  7. For Aero capability you'll need:

    DirectX 9-class GPU that supports:

    * A WDDM Driver

    * Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware

    * 32 bits per pixel

    * Atleast 256 MB RAM for decent performance

    The minimum requirements for graphics cards from the major vendors include the Radeon 9500 from ATI Technologies and the GeForce FX from NVIDIA.


  8. yeah exactly deepu. It isnt peak speed thats an issue here. its (in)consistency that phucks up a voice call. In a voice call, every packet counts... drop a few and there goes the call.

    EV-DO is a next gen technology that won't be launched in India till mid 2008 at least.
