Is the handset network locked, like CDMA ones usually are?
@Prax
No its not network locked. You can use any OMH CDMA RUIM in this phone.
@Prax, Deepak is right. Samsung Corby is an Open handset(Or OMH compliant) which means it should work with the OMH SIM card of any CDMA operator – let it be Tata, Reliance, Virgin, MTS or BSNL. Going forward most of the CDMA handsets would be OMH enabled. Samsung has already launched a model before Corby speed called Mpower 699 and they have announced 2 more models in coming months. I hope, other companies are listening 🙂
