3G services are available in Delhi today and it is going to be available this year throughout India
So what does 3G mean to you ? and what can you do with it on your mobile phone to enhance your mobile experienceÂ
First lets define 3G
3G Stands for 3rd-generation. 3G is loosely defined, but generally includes high data speeds, always-on data access, and greater voice capacity. The high data speeds are possibly the most prominent feature, and certainly the most hyped. They enable such advanced features as live, streaming video. There are several different 3G technology standards. The most prevalent is UMTS, which is based on WCDMA. (WCDMA and UMTS are often used interchangeably.) UMTS is the 3G technology of choice for most GSM carriers. The other major standard is cdma2000, which is an evolution of CDMA 2G technology. There are several types of cdma2000, each offering different data rates and levels of compatibility with 2G CDMA.
Video Streaming that actually works
Video Streaming is possible even over GPRS or EDGE but its very slow.
You will be able to watch a Cricket match Live on the road with live video and audio
Video Calling
Have you ever wondered why there is an additional camera above the display in some phones ?
The camera is meant to be used for Video Calling .. You can actually see the other person face to face and talk.
Faster Downloads and Browsing
As you can see in the picture above .. When i tested 3G , the speeds i was getting was in the range of 300 -500 kbps .. which is the kind of speed we get on a broadband connection at home 🙂
So you can do hi speed browsing on the goÂ
But one downside to all of this is that battery life is comparetively shorter for most phones on 3G networks.
what else you can think of doing on a hi speed internet connection on your mobile ?
3G has finally come to India .. Its always been a distant dream for India to get 3G Network speeds..
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh launched the 3G services of MTNL Delhi under the banner of “Jaadu” or “Magic”
A. RajaCommunications and IT Minister  was also present at the launch event and made a video call from his 3G phone and demonstrated the capabilities of 3G services.
Motorola is setting up the network for the services.

We are going to see a lot more Android based phones in the coming days as more and more Companies are joining the OHA or the Open Handset Alliance
The latest news its that 14 members have joined including Sony Ericsson , Vodafone and Toshibha
The statement says “New members will either deploy compatible Android devices, contribute significant code to the Android Open Source Project, or support the ecosystem through products and services that will accelerate the availability of Android-based devices.”
For instance it does not necessarilly mean SE will work on a Android device but their options are open
Palm and Motorola are doing really bad with handset sales .. should they just adopt Android and cut costs ?
Mobile phone theft is very high in India
We often get emails and message from users telling ” I have lost my mobile phone today what can I do ? ”
The sad truth is that you can’t do much after you have lost the phone.
You can block the phone number and phone with your Operator like Airtel or Vodafone by providing your IMEI number which is a unique serial number for each mobile phone.
It must be present in your bill if you purchased the phone from a shop
But thieves swap SIM cards the moment they steal the phone .. So your number wont be active anymore.
You can make use of mobile theft tracker like the bpl trackerÂ
or more advanced applications which are available today .. Continue reading “Lost your mobile phone what can you do”

As we had predicted before , the HTC G1 which we unboxed earlier is coming soon to India.
HTC might bundle the handset with an Airtel Connection like RIM does for BlackBerry. HTC also offers a few phones exclusively on Airtel. Univercell shows this phone as coming soon and its priced at Rs.25000 or 500 USD
This is an interesting price point as iPhone 3G , Omnia and Xperia are all more costly than G1
G1 is definitely not a phone you would buy for its looks .. But still these are the phones which are making the news these days .
Would you buy the G1 for 25000 ?
