Hmm.. read my post properly.. i said it's hold good for nokia phones... even GSM range of SE phones dont have a good battery as Nokia does.
But i have used that LG cr@p reliance phone, i used to charge once a day for 25 min and it was ok for the rest of the day :roll:

Yes, this is true

we get sticked to the same cell and service provider.
But remember that even AIRTEL gives offers for Cell (that free talktimes, SMS ) for Nokia phones..., in that case i think we will have to have the cell for one year or till they give away the "freebies" (which we actually pay).
and yes there are not too many users and providers in India in the cdma segment as compared to the Many prevailing companies well trusted with thier service in the GSm sector.
so for now i think going for Gsm would be a more viable option.and

the network is still not available at all places even for Gsm sets but they do cover atleast much wider coverage than cdma.

Reliance covers more towns and villages than HUTCH/AIRTEL covers.
TATA is gonna invest 1.2 crore for network expansion in Tamil nadu alone.
It's not true that CDMA *always* has less coverage than GSM has.
