I gave my docs in for the postpaid on the 19th November. So far no confirmatory sms though.

We have had Vote for Cash for ages, so why not Support for cash! There have been rumours for a long time, now a major paper has come out with an expose.

Oh Anil-Ambani ji, are you sleeping??? Those ex-airhell guys are merrily f_king your co, while MNP is very near... Please appoint those guys to your insurance and other cos, and you can experience the life on road-platform ultimately, within a year or two..
I think he will pass on the baby to Mukesh in a yer or two, so probably does not care.

They say that the roll out will be complete by 20th January!. Fantastic news.

High time BSNL was privatised. Even today no on-line payment facility, service cannot be worse, complaints not attended to. Wind them up asap.

I now like the stylised lowe case 'a'. The first reaction was that it looked like a Pendle Clip - these are used to fix rails to the sleepers!

SCAM gets deeper
Seems that in 2006 Dayanidhi Maran told the PM to lay off the spectrum pricing. Obviously a case of Delhi Money for Karunanidhi calling the shots. I thought Dayanidhi was somewhat honest!

I also held the view that a notebook gave you far more bang for the buck. However, if size is a criterion then ... Also, the apparent rarity of small (12-13") Notebooks at decent prices, without DVD's pushes you in that direction. I have an Acer 3801T bought last year and am quite happy with it. Only I had a battery change under warranty, so did a couple of colleagues who bought the same. My daughter-in-law had two battery changes within the one year. So I will be reluctant about Acer for the moment.

I am getting the Lenovo S10-3s 59-041927 (hopefully today. Has 1GB (expandable to 2GB) DDR 3 RAM and Atom N475. Also, Win 7 Starter!. Just launched, at Rs. 21k.

With the budget of 12k-max you can either get a BB or a mid range Android from this forum. Try and get a RIM registered set (*228 /HCC compatible), to avoid possible future hassles.
If you are happy with Touch then prefer Android, otherwise go for BB. I have gone for the latter!

By the looks of it the cat is out of the bag - quite likely it was CM Ibrahim! Of course he has tried to justify it.

@csmart; Unfortunate, but I have to agree with you. This is not the first scam nor will it be the last. Every time there is a big scam, a few months later there is a bigger one the the previous one is forgotten.
Also the media loses interest after a few weeks.

Could Samsung/Reliance not find a more dated phone to release?
-
Was long overdue. Thank God the DMK mafia tactics did not work. Heard that following Obama's visit - Singh is King, and put his foot down. I only hope the Congress Bureau of Investigation does not paper it over.
Thanks to the fourth estate. That is our only hope!

Thanks dhiraj and rajanmehta. I was also thinking on similar lines, but was not sure.

I have also been with Reliance since its inception, and am happy with it. The bone of contention will be the handsets. I have a BB8330 (from Hitesh), but if they start locking up the services etc. on 'cloned' handsets then I may be forced to move. Incidentally, I saw far more reasonable prices of some BB Reliance handsets on futurebazaar.Cannot match what you get here but about 20% or so lower than the Reliance prices. Still no decent Android (apart from one obsolescent Samsung) on the Indian Market.
We have to see how the services of others pan out, esp. in 3G. One big issue will be the tariff and an all India footprint. I hear that Airtel, Vodafone and Idea are tying up for these.
Incidentally, I have been off the forum for too long so a silly question - what do *228 etc. enabled mean.

Chinese are not in the higher price brackets. Indians are al(most)l rebadged Chinese! The Chinese have a non-descript OS and more often that not the support CD is junk!
-
Saw the report. The Motorola Driod 2 & X are very close (74 points v 75 points). iPhone 3 and htc Aria are a further point behind.
-
They are living up to their name No kia!

dhiraj bhai: I also saw the new item - looks interesting. Presumably the OS can be field upgraded to 2.2. The 500 MHz processor as against 1GHz - pros and cons please? Also, I hear that Dell has some model with a slide out QWERTY keypad. Is it true in any of these?
-
Also, what about 'imported' GSM handsets? Once unlocked what are the cons - if any?
-
Yes, doc I like it.
Sounds like the famous forgetfulness of Jagjivan Ram in filing his IT returns, and I bet Raja will soon claim something that he forgot!
-
I agree that the days of cloned handsets may be somewhat numbered. However, with junk handsets at a rip off price, we are left with no options. I think we will be forced to move off CDMA to GSM pronto. Thank God MNP is (almost) here.
One thing worth noting - many of the handsets may be originally locked and sold at a concessional price in the home market as part of a plan (say 3 years). So we are in a dark grey area to start with.

I think there is another big question - touch or keypad.
Some people (yours truly included) are unhappy with Touch. At the moment the decision is obvious - Touch -> Android or (maybe) Apple, keypad -> Blackberry. There are signs of dual interfaces (e.g.BB Torch) coming in.
In the longer term touch is likely to be dominated by Android, which BB is an extremely mature and stable platform, and will continue, possibly with more dual interfaces.
Symbian, I am afraid, has fallen in the crack.
BSNL to offer Landline to Landline STD Calls at Local Rates
in Other Network / Cellular Providers
Posted · Report reply
So finally they have realised the they cannot charge a premium, esp. for a substandard service.. For quite some time Local and STD have been the same on the majority of mobile plans. What is interesting is that the tariff is valid for non-BSNL fixed (and WLL) phones.
