I guess both Vodafone and Airtel are planning to bring the iPhone to India. Any idea when it might be launched et al ?

Hi all,

Have a question for users of dual sim/dual tech phones (GSM+CDMA).

Questions are as follows.

1) When you connect the phone to the internet, which connection is activated for internet ? GSM or CDMA or both ?

2) When you connect to the internet what speeds do you get and which provider provides you the best speeds (browsing and internet).

3) What battery life do your dual sim or dual technology phones have if you use them to browse the internet (connected to the laptop or pc)?

Any advice would help as am planning to use a similar connection for going on trips when out of office or out of home.

Cheers

Hey guys , any reviews/suggestions for the HTC P3470 ? I am planning to buy one but did not find much info .. Hot spot is selling it for Rs. 18.5k , is it a good value ?

mav2000 · 22nd May 2008, 17:17

wow didnt know that the diamond would be launched so quickly. Thought it would take some time specially since the websites like gsmarena say that it is still to be launched, last time i checked. Is it worth it for 32k?

Anybody here using n73 can you tell me how it fares in low light conditions?

Am too tempted to pick it up asap

or should i wait n watch for iphone 2? I know it will be lil bulky compared to diamond, but the UI is worth it, then again am not sure apple will let me have all the work flexibility? Surprise me apple please.

mav2000 · 23rd May 2008, 10:33

Diamond rocks. I guess it will blow away the iphone, and am saying this at the risk of getting quite a few replies. I have used the iphone recently and what it does it does well and with a lot of style, but cannot take away the fact that it does not do a lot of things that heavy users want. The Iphone is still one of the best looking phones with one of the coolest interfaces, but on the functionality side it takes a hit. Well will have to wait for iphone v2 before I add anything more and risk it

How come the diamond is cheaper than the touch cruise?? The cruise sells for around 31k.

SumitB · 23rd May 2008, 10:46

Given a choice between the apple iphone and htc diamond, my money would go to the diamond, hands down. I say this because:
1. the iPhone needs atleast 3-4 makeovers to become usable! It does not have a bt stack till now! What else can one expect!!
2. the diamond is on WM and you can do wonders with it. I would choose Nokia over any other manufacturer any day. My ultimate phone would be the E90 with Windows Mobile!

The only flaw I could find with the diamond is that its storage is limited to 4GB. HTC for God's sake, we have SD Cards which are 8GB!!

@Mav: the Cruise is not locked to an operator, thus 31k. The diamond would be operator locked.

@Jaggu: The only thing which I think Apple will announce on 9th June would be the 3G iPhone and probably its availability in a lot more countries and un-locked iPhones. Maybe a higher capacity iPhone.

mav2000 · 23rd May 2008, 11:00

Hi Sumit there seems to be no news on the airtel website regarding the diamond, but then again lets wait and see. i currently use airtel so dont have a problem of going in for the diamond, but would that mean we have to choose a new package from airtel or what?

Jaggu · 23rd May 2008, 12:59

Checked with the guy who got me Touch before it was launched locally, will have to wait till June 20th kinds if i need to purchase the Diamond.

So i guess, i have time to get some feedback on iphone 2 also

<wifee is very happy with the delay, that i didnt just go pick it up yet!> am carrying the phone, pack and bills in my car :(

so should i sell now or wait he he
