Customers have been receiving harassment calls &  threat calls  from the fake numbers and Police were unable to track these Calls. Also taking into consideration of recent terrorists attacks, Hyderabad Police had issued strict rules to all the Mobile operators. For time being until a conclusion  no new connections will be issued.

Palm Pre & Palm Pixi Prices Slashed | Wi-Fi fee Waived

palm-pre-verizon

Verizon has dropped the contract price for the Palm Pre Plus by $100. The Palm Pixi Plus has also had a dramatic price cut, and Verizon has terminated the fee for using the smartphones as Wi-Fi hotspots. Verizon by lowering their prices are clearly trying to grab a larger audience.

The Palm Pre Plus debuted at $150, but today is $50. The Palm Pixi Plus started at $100, and is now $30. These prices require a two-year contract and a monthly data plan of $29.99 or higher.

The Pre Plus and Pixi Plus come with software that allows them to function as Wi-Fi access points, sharing their 3G mobile broadband connections with up to five other devices, like laptops and handhelds. Previously, using this service cost an additional $40 per month. Now that fee is waived.

The Pre Plus features a sliding keyboard as well as a 3.1-inch multi-touch-capable touchscreen with a 480 x 320 pixel resolution. The device comes with 16 GB of internal storage, and is also equipped with Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS and a 3.0 megapixel camera with LED flash. The smartphones run the webOS. This is a multi-tasking, touch-oriented operating system able to wirelessly synchronize a wide variety of data with online services like Google, Yahoo and Facebook, as well as Microsoft Exchange. The webOS includes an on-device app store, and a growing collection of third-party software is available. For people who need a change now is the time to get this one.

Google Nexus One Sales in UK by April

 

nexusone_1

Google’s Nexus One was slated to launch in the UK by April. It will be on sale through Google.com/phone only, as the company has previously announced. Tariffs have not been announced. Built by HTC, the Nexus One is Google’s attempt to assert the superiority of its mobile operating system Android, in the face of market dominance from Apple’s iPhone and Microsoft’s reinvigorated mobile software, Windows Phone.

Vodafone, had been keen for a launch in March, sources close to both companies have confirmed that April is when the company will have a realistic chance of being ready for the launch. The Nexus One is unusual because it is available online only direct from Google. Although sales had initially been reported as slow in comparison to the iPhone, the Nexus One has not benefited from the significant promotion that Apple has bought for its flagship product. Google issued an update to the phone, shortly after its American launch in January, which added the multitouch web browsing that has been so successful on Apple’s iPhone. Both Google and Vodafone would only say that they were committed to delivering the phone to the UK in the spring.

Vodafone answers about Nexus One Release

vodafone nexus one

With rumours rife about the when, whereabouts of the Nexus One to the UK, Vodafone has issued a FAQ page on the company's website to clear up a few of the issues.
The key points are that the phone is available now from the Nexus One site SIM-free and independently of Vodafone for users in the UK, US, Hong Kong and Singapore. However, the phone will be arriving subsidised on the Vodafone UK network from early spring 2010.
Taking that literally, 1 March would be the earliest spring date. However, a Vodafone spokeswoman has already stated that the Nexus One will be arriving in "a few short weeks", so someone somewhere is mistaken or they're being rather liberal with their definitions of time.
As far as pricing goes, all the company will say is that the Nexus One price plans will be "similar to those Vodafone offers for its wide range of smartphones" - quite possibly matching the iPhone in the way that O2 did with the Palm Pre.
The phone will be available subsidised or SIM-free and part of the Super SIM deals, but only purchased through the Google Nexus One website. Customer support will come both from Google and Vodafone.

here is the topic about Nexus one :

A. Google describe the Nexus One as belonging to the next evolution of handsets and use the term “superphone” for it.
Q. T-Mobile US will sell at €179 on a two year contract against an unsubsidised price of €529 – will a Vodafone contract be on at a similar handset price point?
A. Details around pricing will be announced as the offer is introduced in the UK.
Q. Will Vodafone have a specific Google tariff or is it likely to be the kind of tariff Vodafone offers for smartphones?
A. The price plan will be similar to those Vodafone offers for its wide range of smartphones
Q. Will the phone be available on prepay in the UK?

A. Yes. Customers in the US and three additional countries can purchase the Nexus One: UK, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Q. Can customers register interest or pre-order the Vodafone-related price plan version from today?

Vodafone UK to Launch Nexus One in a Few Weeks

google nexus one

The arrival of the Vodafone Nexus One will mean that UK buyers will be able to pick up a cheaper handset (with agreement) rather than paying the $529 SIM-free, unlocked price.  It’s unclear whether a version of that unlocked handset will be made available in UK pounds and shipped from within the country as well; Vodafone are yet to confirm any pricing.  Sales will be through Google’s webstore; the search giant confirmed Vodafone as an upcoming carrier partner at their launch event for the Nexus One yesterday; the smartphone will also arrive on Verizon’s US network in CDMA form sometime in Spring 2010.

The touch-screen device, launched on Tuesday and produced in collaboration with Taiwan electronics group HTC, poses a direct challenge to Apple's top-selling iPhone.

"I can confirm that Vodafone is the first operator to partner with Google to offer the Nexus One in Europe, starting soon in the UK, in a few short weeks," a Vodafone spokeswoman told AFP.

"No detail on pricing and precise timing has yet been made, but that will come in a few weeks."

Customers will be able to purchase a subsidised Nexus One phone with a Vodafone contract. The device will also be available directly through the Google web store.

Google said earlier it had reached "strategic partnerships" with telecom firm Verizon in the United States and Vodafone in Europe.

Vodafone added Wednesday that the group was in talks to sell the Nexus One in France, Germany and other European countries this year.

"We're in early discussions with Google to introduce the offer in France (through SFR) and in Germany and Spain, and more European countries are expected during 2010," the spokeswoman said.

"Our agreement with Google stretches beyond Europe -- all Vodafone's geographies -- and over time we will be working to provide offers in other Vodafone operating countries."

Separately, rival O2 told AFP that it was closely following developments over the Nexus One handset.

"We have been following Google's announcement with interest," said a spokeswoman for O2, which is the British division of Spanish telcoms group Telefonica.

"We welcome innovation in our industry and have already seen devices such as the Apple iPhone and Palm Pre have a huge effect on the way people use their mobile phones."

Apple Iphone by Vodafone UK on January 14

iphonevodafone
Yes Finally the date had bet set for launching iphone to Vodafone users in UK.
Vodafone subs will be able to snag either the iPhone 3G or the iPhone 3GS for free on all tariffs over £35 and £45 respectively. Both of these prices assume a 24-month contract, but an extra £5 will shave off 6 months. Anyone interested in tethering should pencil an extra £5 into their monthly budget as that’s what Vodafone says will buy you the right to 500MB of data for tethering.
Vodafone and O2 both offer unlimited wifi use. Orange's data limit includes connections to the internet via BT Open-Zone wifi.
Both O2's and Orange's lowest tariffs - £34.26 and £29.36 respectively - are on a 24-month contract and come with a free iPhone.
Vodafone comes close with a £35 a month contract over a two year period, also including a free 3G 8GB handset.
Tesco Mobile tariffs start at £20 a month for 12 months - with a £222 charge for the same model of handset. However, Tesco says that the shorter contract will enable customers to upgrade more quickly.
Guy Laurence, chief executive of Vodafone UK, said that the company had been preparing its network for over a year to handle the introduction of the iPhone.
There are concerns that mobile networks globally are struggling to cope with demand as more consumers choose internet-enabled smartphones and mobile dongles over fixed broadband deals.
