I would definitely advise against the Atom. I do not even like Atom netbooks!

Has anyone considered two points:
1. The terrorist is hardly likely to be carrying a Blackberry, and that too on BES.
2. It is the security of BB that prompts the corporate honchos to use it for secure communication.
What is there to stop one from adding 128/256 bit encryption to the communications at either end.
As for Skype, Google etc. I have a feeling that the old story of trying to stop VoIP is the underlying reason.

Look at it this way. With 10 digits you will have 9,000,000,000 possible numbers (remember there will be no numbers of less that 10 digits. This should be enough to cover India.There should be no need for area specific numbers at all.
-
As it stands we are on 10 digits - Delhi/Mumbai/bangalor etc. 2+8, Kanpur etc. 3+7, Smaller towns 4+6! So what is the sturm und drang all about?

As suggested by Hitesh I think there is no point in discussing something which is no longer available.
@konqueror: Look at No. 6 on http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/rworld/home/tariff.html along with No. 7

@Greatest; I will try but need another option. See my second question please.

I am also not inclined to switch away from Reliance. Network congestion is an issue with all of them only on CDMA it manifests in a different form than in GSM. I hope with more spectrum available after 3G this problem will be eased.

If a shutdown takes effect, BlackBerry users in India would only be able to use the devices for phone calls and Internet browsing. (Arun)
I thought sms (not BB messenger) should also work, as it is not encrypted in any way.
As for 3G, Google, Skpte, etc. I thought we lived in a free society with some rights, or is it Big Brother of 1984 fame we are headed for.Maybe they are worried that they cannot eavesdrop on their political adversaries.

Good news. But a lot will depend on whether dakshina has been paid in the right place(s).
Fingers and toes crossed. I will dump BSNL as soon as MNP has stabilised.
-
I have been unable to locate any information on this on the web. My son has a Rs.99 plan and is quite happy with it on his htc Hero. I am looking for a decent one on my 833 (Hitesh model).

With FTAs coming thick and fast we are now in the habit of putting ever more non-tariff barriers. Mind you others do the same, but far fewer and more subtle. We want to sell under FTA but not buy!
It is the same as appeal everything in courts, since otherwise who will answer audit.
-
@Arun: Fingers and Toes crossed. I am dying to dump my BSNL and switch to one of the others (most probably Airtel or Vodaphone). Do not want to change my number.

For international on GSM you are much better off with a Matrix card, unless of course you MUST have your home number. CDMA may work only in the US and Matrix is not an option!

to load splash screens u need to load vsm files
for that u need mfi
Thanks.
But I am not a geek, so what you say is Greek to me!?
Where does one get the vsm files (esp. pertaining to BB8330) and what is mfi and where do you get it. I recall seeing a post of yours about doing this on the 'worldphone'. I guess the same technique should work. Can you please provide a link as I was unable to find it.
I have bbsak - Hitesh installed it for me when getting the phone up.
-
Thanks parin. What I have is 4.5.0.175 on 3.4.0.55 and what I find is 4.5.0.172. I guess the difference is between Verizon and Reliance splash screens.
-
@mufaddal: reassuring words indeed, esp. to the father of a brand new MCh!
@parin this means the firmware which contains the identity information is either preserved or info restored from the backup sets this right (I guess from the OS area).
@konquerror: UIM is the term used by Hitesh when he asked me to get info out of my 6275. He asked me to get the UIM and the MIN and send him the former. Then I was asked to program in the MDN and MIN. I did not find MIN and while on line with my son (has a Hero) was told it should be the same as SL_S. Worked!
I am as lost as at the outset.
I still want to remove the Verizon splash and replace with the Reliance Screen. Procedures for i. changing the UIM, ii. replacing the Verizon splash screen with Reliance (I have downloaded the set of files posted by Hitesh), and iii. reloading the OS.
Also, I am told I have to make some change in case I decide to sell my 6275! What is needed?
-
@parin: It still leaves me confused.
Let me take an example : I have a BB with service no. (MDN) x, MIN (SL_S in BB parlance) y, and UIM ID as z. I have taken a backup, and then somewhere the phone is bricked. So how do I get it back in business?
Another point: I know how to change the MDN and MIN but not UIM? I guess the latter is in the 'grey area', s maybe a PM will be the better way for that.
-
@Genius: Am I right in assuming that the OS files are also overwritten when a backup is taken, even though by the looks of it they are in a different location.
Thanks for the prompt response. I am trying t understand the game at large. It is too easy to get one of our resident guru's to come on and 'fix' the system.

I am a long term mobile user (since 1999 on GSM, and since the original DAPO on CDMA). I have just acquired my first smart phone a Blackberry 8330 from Hitesh. He has been very supportive but I would like to learn on my own I have some queries.
1. What information resides on the phone and is not lost if the OS has to be reloaded?
2. What information comes as part of the OS and can be loaded/reloaded? Also, changes or is lost on a reload
3. What is the procedure for a. changing the splash screen from Verizon to Reliance, and b. Reloading the OS on a BB? I saw these once but have been unable to locate these again. Please either guide me to the exact thread(s), or give a beginners guide.
4. Software required for these and other operations. Please post or PM me.
I could not find any place to post this, and I hope I am not in the wrong area. If so mods please move this topic to where it should belong.

My daughter-in-law has a 7 series Karnataka number (not Reliance). I was unable to call or sms her from Reliance. I called up *222 and got escalated twice. They asked me to sms her, and followed the transaction. Finally it turned out that I could call/sms her with 07... but not with +917.... from Reliance. Hope things have improved now that they are themselves using 7!
I have since shifted to a Blackberry so the +91 had to be all changed. Blackberry removes +91 but does not prefix a 0 for non state numbers.

Kan pak gaye MNP sunte sunte.
I think Arun we must shift this thread to Jokes Section
I fully support Hetal. It is indeed a joke.
If they are letting some private operators use them they are still to blame. It is high time that both MTNL and BSNL are wound up, or privatised (with or without merger). Only then will the attitude change. It will also be a salutary warning to all other PSUs.

For users of Word there is a better way of storing the Rupee symbol. Then you do not have to go and change fonts all the time.
Go into Insert > Symbol > More Symbols > Select the Symbol by selecting the font and the character.
Now in future you just do Insert Symbol and double click on it. I have tested this with Office 2007 and 2010. Almost all of us will be using the symbol often enough for it not to drop off the symbols list!
Note added- One small problem:
You cannot do a Find & Replace and change Rs. to the Rupee symbol. It works only on the active font.
-
While waiting for a proper font implementation, a good approximation will be the letter 'Ra' with strikeout!

As long as Mera Telephone Nahin Lagta and Bhai Saheb Nahin Lagega are there forget MNP. They know customers will vanish in droves.
BlackBerry 9800 Torch (GSM) launched in US
in BlackBerry
Posted · Report reply
Blackberry have apparently announced the Torch (9800?)on OS 6. This is a touch phone with a slide out keyboard (full QWERTY). There is a review in the latest T3 as well. There is even a report that a cracked Torch is available for Rs.34,000.
Any news/rumours about its CDMA version.
