I expect airtel’s and domoco’s 3g service will be the best one.
Airtel because of its superior network and docomo in terms of its technology because docomo will be using Japan’s technology and Japan’s docomo 3g is considered one of the best.
Let’s see what will be the feedback for both of them after the launch. Meanwhile airtel’s 3g site is already live indicating that it is soon coming.
that would be interesting to see how Docomo Fares with Airtel and Vodafone

wow….. its a gr8 news, i’m using free gprs through a trick from my airtel mobile.. after i can use 3g for free……..
Bad luck for me. I am in Kerala. 🙁 But Docomo will be available here. 🙂
Now when the 3G services are available by many of the telecom providers in India…..When the biggest company will launch their phones and products…..Yes I am eagerly pointing out for iPhone and Google phones…
Good to hear that…am eagerly waiting for airtel 3g.
Next is 3G War. Good news.
At last its on its way to India…in countries like Japan, Korean, America, Europe & most countries in dark continent Africa 3G is not a new service…next they r working to start 4G.
See how India is 5-8 yrs behind other countries,..anyway better late than nvr…now I guess BSNL employees will not able to sleep peacefully, its dominating 3G now,..but once private operators launch 3G none will bother abt BSNL anymore,..just like when it was dominating expensively mobile service long back in 2001.
Same is yet to happen….I hate BSNL, but love Airtel, Docomo they r da best.
I am fed up of waiting for 3g …..I hope this year we will get 3g with gud plans…
Hope so… I think we will definitely get 3G really very soon…
realy good news but hope it costs high….
Will the Price of Services Increase with the introduction of 3G? i think Airtel will increase prices of SMS and Calls after introduction of 3G Technology.
it is about time that these big players come into the market. BSNL was making me sick
