No...... U can see the attached pics. These screen shots are straight from my N73.
basicaly nokia's 3G fones have 3 options.... Dual Mode.... UMTS (3G) only.... GSM only..
by defualt Dual mode is selected. In this Mode fone searches for both 3G and GSM signals. So if GSM is not available then it searches for 3G and shows 3G. wich i think happend on that night with umerhayat's freind.
i think now u will undrstand my point.
let me give a battery saving tip for nokia users using nokia's 3G fones. In network settings select GSM in Network Mode. This will save alot of battery. Becuase it is useless to use Dual Mode becuase we still dont have 3G.

yes . seems may be thats the case .

yep we even dont have EDGE properly, 3G is far away, according to Mobilink's CEO (begerat Bastrad) we(Pakistan) will not gonna have 3G until 4 - 5 years !!!! if this is the spirit of this so called largest mobile company of Pakistan than what u expect?
ah when the world will preparing to start 5G we then start 3G. These old bastards (Moblink & ufone) make Pakistan far behind the world.
But i hope inshaAllah Warid and especially Telenor will change this atmosphere. not in 4 - 5 years but in 2 years we will have 3G.

hi all. i had got w300i and now w810i. both have edge support.so for last 5 or 6 month i see that warid has edge coverage in lhr.but its strange that why they donot announce it officially.when mobilink launched edge they covered area from marriot hotel to their head office in islamabad only and made big announcements that they have launched edge

lets put this to rest. when it says EDGE available, browse on your phone and see if you feel the difference
Posted by shuak
Yeah as QVGA said brows at that time and tell us ur experiance.
May be they are testing it hard before launching which they should do not like this bastard Mobilink start the service after 1 or 2 tests. Now Even if u are in marriot which is supposed to be EDGE coverd and ur mobile is showing EDGE and u r not able browse.
Atleast this is happen to me and when i ask from them about this problem they said yes we are experiancig some technical problem and even today after 3months same problem!!!!

@QVGA: warid offers unlimited gprs on all postpaid packages. you can even get a simple SIM that supports only gprs and is not able to send or receive voice calls or smses.

Telenor has made a good move, but without 3G tv service wont be very good.
Here in UK networks are offering tv service over 3G, but that a not that good, because of small screen handsets. Hopefully it will get batter by using HSDPA.
I think they (Telenor) should work to get 3G up and runing, or even EDGE.
I know they are offering EDGE in sume part of pakistan. Although they are not manage to cover full citys yet.
Like only the selected areas of lahore are coverd.
Posted by QVGA
well, there isnt any sports channel in their TV channels list yet

@death manager . There are sites and communites where buying selling takes place . But i am not sure i can post their addresses here or not due to forum rules

I used Telenor TV but the quality is not so good. They'll charge you 449+tax for 30 days access and when you use it, it is very expensive. I think it is Rs. 15 a minute or something like that.
Posted by umerhayat
Yes . Telenor tv is very expensive. It will use the one mb in 4 minutes so 15rupees plus tax for 4 minutes of watching.so better download a free tv and use it with the warid or mobilink unlimited gprs.

looters and nothing else. these services are only for people who have alot of black money and they dont know where to spend it. it is not for people like us.
449 p/m for service use and 15rs/mb for channel watching is that what they call cheap. comeon telenor people open ur eyes we are still a 3rd world country.
first give us an unlimited GPRS/EDGE package atleast on postpaid then give these kinds of services.
this is the first time when i disagree with telenor. other wise telenor roks.

I tried Telenor TV using my pre-paid package on my i-mate Jasjam (windows mobile 5 phone). Here are my impressions:-
a) Picture on my QVGA 2.8 inch screen is quite good but the problem is that the picture is quite jerky, i.e. not a smooth flow as on a actual TV.
b) Telenor EDGE normally during web browsing peaks at 100 kilo bits per second in my area but while playing TV it remains steady at 50 Kilo bits per second. This means that the jerky picture is not due to the edge connection being slow but because the program or the phone itself cannot handle connection speed beyond 50 kilo bits per second.
c) Quite expensive. It is a monthly Rs 400 and the Telenor data connection costs Rs 20 / MB including taxes. If the data transfer is steady at 50 kbs this would mean that for a 5 minutes TV content watching you pay Rs 37 per 5 minute. Considering the picture quality this in my view is very expensive.
I think it is not a practical thing but good for boasting to your friends that "Hey look I have TV on my phone". Now what price you are willing to pay for this is your personal choice. At least I would not.
Best Regards

why do our carriers always try to rush everything anyways? they should atleast thoroughly test a service before allowing it to become public.. look at whats happened to the Mobile Number Portability.. its practically useless, it hasn't been well received by the public and its causing a lot of other hiccups with the networks... they should think about providing quality service instead of thinking about making quick cash... what do we pay them for anyway?
Posted by umerhayat
@srmz.thanks for your detailed review.its soooo expensive service for me.can not even think to use it

ok leave this TV shit. this is not for us. these MNP and all other services are for their Business Buddies. MNP is a very good service and it is useful if they advertise it properly.
These telenor datapackeges have some first MB's free afterwards u have to pay for the use. not a fix monthly charges for unlimited use.

yes exactly my thoughts. nothing more to say.
Posted by umerhayat
mnp was tested for one month or so and then launched.at start they said it will take maximum 4days to port.but now they say 4 to 21 days.may be its because of huge response than the expected.every one wants to leave mobilink i think

umer: thats not it. didn't you read the newspaper a few days back? there was an article in it which stated that currently only 20,000 have actually availed the facility which is an extremely small number compared to the number of subscribers throughout pakistan and that the ones who have used it are facing problem due the service not being throughly tested before being released.

for handset prices in pakistan click on this link
http://www.funmaza.com/mobile_price.html
bassicaly these prices are from Lahore but can be vary from city to city but not more than 100-300 Rs.
according to this site M600i is for Rs. 23,200 and P990i is availble for Rs. 22,700 both are in Mobile Zone warranty.
Posted by umerhayat
@nyb.my bad man.around me many people applied.so i got an impression that every one is moving.as they say 20,000 availed it.may be many are in que.but its still very small number though.@buying M600,M600 W950 and P990 now have almost same price.so if i was you i was going for W950 instead M600.W950 just came down from 30k to 23k.P990 in 22000,i think its one with extra stylus extra battery and desktop charger.if you skip these things then may be its really 19000.but i am not sure

@umer: hey no need to feel bad bout anything dude.. i was just trying to tell you that things here are not quite what they seem to the eye.. thanks for the update on the prices though!! i already have a m600 and it works like a charm so i won't need to change it or anything for the moment... will most probably have it replaced when that new p700 comes out..

Guys how does e61 compares with M600i?

But in addition i need a camera also integrated with mobile set. Pl feel free to comment on this? any existing user of m600 pl tell me how its versus p990i?
Posted by QVGA
P990 is far superior to M600 in each and every aspect.
Posted by SE7
How about E61i vs P990i?
Posted by korbindallis
E61i has the edge as its new and thiner but i am a sonyericsson lover so P990i is good if its cheaper so go for it
also see both phones in your hand and then make you choice
you should ask you self one question do u want touch screen or not ?
if your answer is yes go for P990i
if your answer is no go for E61i

for nokia e61i review click on this link
http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_e61i-review-142.php
and for comparison between P990 and M600 click on this link
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone2=1425&idPhone1=1318
it is just a specification wise comparison. so in my point of view P990 wins over M600 because it has all the things which u want but it is heavier and feels bigger than M600. though i dont have much experiance whith these kinds of fones.
Posted by QVGA
also, i dont think E61 will fit into a regular pocket.
