Tata has finally done the inevitable. The company was letting their mobile users (both prepaid and postpaid) to access internet on their mobile devices.

Texting
I cannot believe how much people use SMS messaging these days. Of course, I hate the amount of useless SMS messages I get on my own phone. I personally hate sending SMS messages to people I know. It has its uses and I use them for those situations only. The question is… Can you live without SMS messaging?

Locked Mobile Phones in India
Another day, another locked mobile phone for the Indian market.
Airtel is leading these scary developments. They have now collaborated with i-mate to launch their JAMA 101 Smartphone ‘exclusively’ for Airtel subscribers.
What more, the phone would work on Airtel’s state-of-the-art EDGE wireless network as well!
Whoa, I had no idea that Airtel had such a smashing EDGE network. Especially when MTNL and BSNL are already on their way to launch 3G services.
I need India to be free of locked mobile phones. Especially considering they are not sold at any discount thus offering ‘some’ form of benefit for the end user.
This is also essential considering we do not seem to have any law or ruling requiring the mobile service provider to provide unlocking mechanism to the customer after a particular time period.
It’s just craziness. You pay the full amount and you do not even get the freedom.
HTC: Please bring the Google G1 to India UNLOCKED
HTC is launching the Google G1 mobile phone in USA next month. Europe gets it in November. Asia? No clue.
I expect HTC to bring this phone to India sometime next year. But considering they have been sleeping with Airtel since some time now, they would bring it all locked up.
I wish they could bring this phone (and others to be powered by Google Android) to India unlocked and at decent prices.
Android would be proving to be cheaper for them compared to Windows Mobile. Of course, they need the numbers to justify cheaper pricing of Android powered phones compared to the phones powered by Windows Mobile.
But if the Google G1 was available in the Indian market for around Rs. 15,000 today… They would have had me as a customer.
Google G1 launched!

The funny thing is that the presentation on this website does not even show how the phone can be used to dial numbers! All they highlight are the web related aspects. Pretty darn funny. I thought it was a phone first.
Nokia 6275 on Tata Indicom
Tata Indicom sells this mobile phone model for Rs. 10,000. They have been selling this model at this price for like 2 years. They have not dropped the price or made any modification. They have not even launch an updated model or any other decent model in this price range.
The phone has a decent camera but the software sucks. It is also very slow. Browsing through the menu is painful. Operating the camera functionality is painfully slow. Practically it sucks.
Airtel and Vodafone both accepting Apple iPhone 3G bookings
Airtel and Vodafone seem to be playing a funny game with Indian customers.
None of these two companies have revealed the prices or launch date for the iPhone.
Airtel became the first one to allow customers to get some details through a SMS service.
Vodafone then became the first company to accept bookings for the iPhone.
Now Airtel has launched its own booking service for the Apple iPhone.
It’s not really booking considering customers would not ‘book’ the iPhone unless they know the prices, launch data and packages.
They are just collecting information on customers whom they can spam in the future with details on the iPhone.
Stupid PR tactics.
