Beware ! If you are a Reliance customer, I would suggest you strictly stay away from all such phones and 'free' plans. I purchased a Corby Speed (CDMA) about a couple of months back with similar 15 GB of free usage every month. To my horror I discovered recently that the 15 GB is free only for using the mobile as a modem for your PC; any browsing/usage on the mobile is charged at Rs 10/- per MB! Go ahead if you dare and buy this TV phone on Reliance - you are bound to be the one paying for Anil Ambani's next Bugatti.
guys this is not some GPRS phones CDMA supports speeds upto 2MBPS and they are making 15GB limit which is quite good bufferring will not be an issue here
