Well if you want 3G connectivity going on your phone then thats available only on MTNL and BSNL for now. Otherwise other things u can get with airtel, vodafone , aircel etc.

Do you know if I would be able to get it on a month to month basis nd what should I expect to pay?

You can get 2GB internet with Airtel for Rs 98/month that is around $2.11/month.See here http://www.airtel.in/wps/wcm/connect...paid/Services/ Change your region to "Mumbai" and see the plans.The Airtel internet service is known as "Mobile Office".Airtel currently does not provide 3G.You will get EDGE.Airtel provides better internet speed than other providers.I'm getting around 180 kbps on EDGE.

Well i got my n900 last month..put in my simcard..and gprs was enabled..ive had a gprs connection for the past 6yrs...thus i have a really cheap plan for unlimited data on Airtel..but Aircel offerec a Rs. 98 / month with unlimited data...people could try that...i have even connected it to my computer to use it as a DUN and it works with no extra charge...

hi buddies. here is my story..
i bought my phone on 19dec from a mobile dealer. the grey market price i paid is 34000rs. well cheap than for wht i paid for the second phone that arrived from Uk for 40000Rs.
i have been excited since day 1 when nokia announced it. and now i am a proud owner of it.

well i had problmes with gprs thing at first. i use vodafone and the data package sucked big time from vodafone. as it is 2G and nothing more it can offer. . than finally MTNL 3G was there and i got one for my N900 and now i am live nytime when i am out in mumbai. indoor i use wifi.

guys for vodafone and airtel u wil have to manually input the proxy setting to get it started.

well only thing i hate is the battery life. well rest is good. hope developers get more apps and fix bugs for all of our N900.

any questions. pls fell free to ask. have fun

I think I am the only unlucky fellow here. I bought the N900 before anyone else (I was in the very first batch of Amazon). I got it delivered to my friend in the US who received it for me on the Dec 4th. And the sad story is that till now, it hasn't reached me. I am expecting it this week. I even took a BSNL 3G SIM in the mean time.

In the US itself I got it shipped to 2 different places which cost me more than 50+ dollars :( I am Very Very Sad & Disappointed.

hi buddy.!
i also own an n900 UK device from the 3rd of december.
yes u r right i had to manually do the proxy settings for vodafone gprs. The only problem im facing till now is that the GPS does not connect when i use it thru gprs. Else the gprs works absolutely fine.
While connecting thru Wifi the gps connects almost instantly.
Are you facing a similar problem.??

regards

Scratch guard u can find original on ebay.in. I thin if u put n900 on that u get only one scratch guard and that one you can buy. Comes for 399Rs and the seller is also the best seller so delivery will be on time.
