1paise is effectively nothing :D

Also, u cant compare the call/SMS costs to US.

Here TATA docomo calls costs 1ps/second. They have second billing. You get a connection for Rs 49 ($1).

The other extreme is 10 minutes pulse by TATA Indicom. Their pulse is 10 minutes and charges Re 1 (100ps) for 10 minutes. So for around Rs6 (12 cents) u can talk for an hour.

Most other operators charge 20 paise to 50paise per minute for calls with 1 minute pulse.

When calls r so cheap, who needs SMS?

Tata Docomo charges 60ps for a 160 character SMS. Also per character sms is limited to 15 character. So useful only for really Short SMS

Compared to this Airtel charges me 10ps for a 160 character. Also for daily rental of Re 1 (100 paisa) u get 100 SMS (160 character SMS). Compared to these TATA Docomo is costly in India.

I would love to use an iPhone...Yes plz

me wants it

its just their marketing tatics...The iphone sales increases if it gets hacked...Wish someone hacks vodafone iphones and leave airtel unhackable...only a few will buy airtel iphone then...

Vodafone slashed the price on launch day here in India...8GB is now Rs. 29,640 and 16gb is Rs. 34580....maybe artel will also come up with something...also, no unlimited data plans in vodafone :(

much better than in India....here no 3G, no VisualVoice mail, No Itunes, locked....and is the most expensive locked iphone is releasing today

Visual Studio would be my pick...Nothing beats it in software development in Windows...As for OS, OS X beats Vista easily....

May I have it plz?
