@Subhasish Vodafone's press statement a couple of months back was generic w.r.t. SE Asia which was assumed to include India. Bharati made an official press release with Tim Cook that they will be launching in India in partnership. What puzzles me is the speeds that they will be able to support on their networks. popular high speed 3G technologies are CDMA based, UMTS & HSDPA: http://www.apple.com/pr... Though this was in the print edition of yesterdays BS, I can't find it online.

Parth My concern too. Neither Bharti nor Vodafone have true 3G networks. Not much idea about the CDMA services. UMTS uses the W-CDMA air interface but it was designed to be implemented over a GSM infrastructure. Hopefully these guys would be in a position to implement it.

Considering that I am a very frequent user even with crappy GPRS speeds on my crummy (for browsing) SE; I will appreciate anything that is even trivially better.
