  • Exclusive access to ‘The Groove’, a widget that keeps you updated on the latest happenings

As for the phone, you get a full touch screen phone with accelerometer and handwriting recognition. In addition, the phone is equipped with a 5MP Carl Zeiss camera, 32GB storage capacity which can expanded to 48GB via microSD card, A-GPS and 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity.

All of this is expected to cost you a whopping Rs.35,000, however, the prices haven’t been confirmed.

Now a days, everyone is on the search for a cool phone number which they can flaunt. These are vanity or special numbers, for which operators charge a premium. Take the case of Tata, which bids these special numbers. But BSNL is playing it fair, with a price range of Rs. 1,000-3,000 for these numbers.   

The state-run operator has categorized these numbers into three, on the basis of their exclusivity. Here they are::

MTNL and BSNL refuse to put a hold on Video Conferencing service

March 22, 2009 By Rohan Kamath Leave a Comment

We posted about MTNL and BSNL’s video conferencing services coming under the Intelligence Bureau’s scanner. The IB had asked the two operators to stop offering these services to users for the time being, the main reason being that the IB did not have access to monitor these services. 

However, both operators are of the view that they have adhered to all security measures and will not put a pause to the services. The refusal to put a hold is quite evident if you happen to browse through BSNL’s website, which has Deepika Padukone – BSNL’s brand ambassador promoting the operators Video conferencing calls. As an introductory offer, the operator is allowing users to use web-conferencing free of charge. The user just has to call a toll-free number -1800-111-233 and get the service activated.

MTNL launches Blackberry services in Delhi

March 22, 2009 By Rohan Kamath Leave a Comment

TeleGyaan recently brought you a post on BSNL coming out with Blackberry services in April.  Now it’s the other public operators turn to offer the same. Yes, MTNL announced the launch of Blackberry services in Delhi yesterday. The service will be made available through MTNL’s postpaid arm – Dolphin. 

As for the phone, the operator will be selling the Blackberry Bold as a part of its initial offerings. Also the operator is trying to take due advantage of the 3G spectrum, by offering this 3G enabled phone. This will give both the operators an edge over others. Along with the above phone, MTNL will also be offering Blackberry Curve 8310/20 and Blackberry 8700. The prices of these handsets are:

  • Blackberry Bold: Rs. 34,000
  • Blackberry Curve 8310/8320: Rs.24,000
  • Blackberry 8700G: Rs.14,000

We Say: Reiterating the fact, the two public operators will have an edge over other players as they will be offering the Blackberry service along with 3G to users. However, it solely depends on the plans being offered by MTNL and BSNL.
