Hey rinki,no problem being new to forum.as u have posted your using Nokia 5800 and confused about 3g service so here's the answer....browsing internet is really expensive as of today becoz bsnl tariffs for 3g sim and data are too high.instead u can use normal 2g sim and recharge with rs.274 unlimited gprs for 30 days.but if u have 3g data card [ micromax or teracom ] i guess u can get more speed...Let me know ur experience bcoz i m planning to buy a 3g data card...Bye

The 5800 can be used as 3G Modem with a USB cable or Bluetooth to avail 3G speeds (1-2.7mpbs depending on your area). The standard rate is 1ps/10Kb across India and there are separate data plans as well. The difference between EVDO and BSNL 3G is that they both are different implementation of whats popularly known as 3G. EVDO is the technology path from CDMA and BSNL3G(wCDMA) is the path from GSM. So basically they both provide broadband speeds via cellular radio. Currently With EVDO you got some choice since private telco's(Reliance NetConnect/Tata Photon) are offering services along with BSNL while with 3G only BSNL is offering services until later this year when the private carriers start their services.If you're going to be heavy data user I'd recommend getting a dedicated data card solution with either the EVDO carriers or BSNL3G depending on the service in your area. If not then just migrate your BSNL number to 3G and use your 5800 as a data modem.
