I think since they are not competing in the same field, then they can use the name without issue. Via also has a Nano processor which competes against Intel Atom.

Ishan bai, please be very careful with the iPhone3G. There have been reports of cracks appearing in the back, more noticable in the white version.

Hi guys looks like the pricing is finally out. the 8gb is going to be around 31k and the 16gb is around 36-37k without a plan, plus you have to choose from a number of plans. looks steep, am going ahead with either the e71 or the diamond, these numbers dont work for me.

E71 for me too! Had the E61i which I lost some time ago!

If thats the pricing its sad! Apple will be loosing out on Indian market. 16Gb for 25k should be a good price point.

Cant agree more, went and had a look at the diamond after reading a lot of reviews over the last month. the phone feels pretty solid and with the new firmware is pretty snappy. so will go with that. price has dropped to around 26k now.

i read on the asia cnet reviews that battery life is a concern - do be sure on that

@ jassi, since we dont have 3g yet, battery should last longer, and I have been using the n95 for more than a year now and it works for me, guess that will be ok.

Nope got the locked version, primarily to check out data traffic originating from phones unlocked using different hacks off the net. Too many complaints about excess data usage bills on iPhones.

I learnt the hard way....got a huge bill for data roaming during my last trip to aussie land ...the "data roaming off" option is useless!

Ny Teknik, Sweden's foremost engineering weekly, obtained a report on tests conducted by unnamed experts that showed some handsets' sensitivity to third-generation network signals is well below the level specified in the 3G standard.

The report said the most likely cause of the 3G problems is defective adjustments between the antenna and an amplifier that captures very weak signals from the antenna. This could lead to poor 3G connectivity and slower data speeds.

I suggest everyone to wait and see before buying from Airtel or Vodaphone.
