Can I pay them using debit card? (I don't have a credit card and don't want to have one!)

Pl let us know it. Is it as a brand reliable?

I do have debit cards of ICICI (Visa Silver), HDFC (Visa Gold), SBT, SBI and CSB but not Paypal. How to get a Paypal account?

There's no charge to open a PayPal account and to transfer money from your bank account to your PayPal account.

There are fees in other cases, such as:

Receiving payment for goods and services.
Receiving payments from friends and family made using a debit or credit card.
Receiving a payment from someone in another country

Go to https://www.paypal.com/in and register your self.. once you register with paypal next impotent step is to verified your account or else order won't accept by merchant

To become Verified, you must:

Confirm your email address.
Add a credit or debit card to your account.
Link and confirm your card.

Thanks,
Tushar

@Tushar - I have ordered the same device from DX. Waiting impatiently for it to arrive! There seems to be tons of customizations you can do to this device. Let's see what we can do. I'm hunting for the maps too. PM me if you get info or I'll PM you if I find anything

There are maps to be found for almost all the providers - MMI/SatGuide from iPmart® forum - View Single Post - GPS Software & Maps India you might need to register here....

Even I've ordered one from DX on 2nd Sept - still waiting for it to arrive - It's still sitting at HK Airport for departure

Mine is stuck in "Waiting for Supplier" !! Will have to wait at least for a month.
Intend to load satguide maps later on it.

Tushargohil · 15th September 2009, 15:55

Yeah this will take month to deliver,

For now i am thinking about Win CE 5.0 unlock part so that we can install third party tools

Thanks,

Jesus! Had I known people were having slow shipping on this, I'd have found a better way. But I think a lot of guys decided to order this 'secretly'!

Anyways, if I don't see any activity on the shipment status over the next two days, I'd probably cancel the order and find someone coming over from ASEAN to pick it up for me.

Maassk Chill man... as per DX its was clearly mention the process,

Step 1 (1-3 days): Products are collected from our suppliers.

Step 2 (<1 day): Order waits to get packaged.

Step 3 (1 day): Order is packaged.

Step 4 (10-13 days): Order is enroute via Hong Kong Post.

Overall Delivery Time: 12 to 17 days. let hope for the best that we get our gadget ASAP.

Thanks,
Tushar
