you would be better off with a 3G device and BSNL 3G sim.

atleast for 6 months, after which you can look for other service providers as well

BSNL running offer is Rs. 4200 for 6 months = unlimited download for 3G service

I think it is better to use a 3.1 Mbps EVDO card from BSNL. It offers unlimited usage at Rs. 750 per month. Excellent value for money. But check whether BSNL CDMA coverage is present in you area before buying.

I think EVDO strength depends on the distance from the BSNL tower,isn't it??I mean nearer the better..
I think unlimited offer in 3G is 1499/- whereas its 750/- for EVDO.
