My device TPP ( tata photon plus ) is 2 years old is it 3g or 2g ?
Do I need to upgrade it to another stick to get 3g ??
 
Tata Photon is CDMA powered. 2G and 3G are terms used with GSM products.
 
Theoretically, CDMA comes under 2G :Boy Think: , but yes as to common understaning and usage its different from what is referred here, i.e. 2G means GSM and yes you would need a different device for 3G
 
I thought CDMA had their own terminology? CDMA1000 and CDMA2x something? Also from what I understand CDMA on its own is capable of around 12mbps speeds. So, it can technically still compete with 3G.
 
I am also not sure... But I believe, 2G has both GSM and CDMA. And while GSM with data goes towards GPRS/EDGE as 2.5G etc. CDMA goes to CDMA 1x, EVDO etc what you are referring to..
 
Is it then worth upgrading still got nearly 3500 balance ?
Dont understand all this .
Just 2 years back I bought this photon plus to use with my notebook
 


its ok just wondering if I can get better speeds and there is too many disconnections in Pune, Goa with it
Also they offer now 3g modems/usb
 
My personal experience of using 2 years - Tata Photon may have less speed compared to 3G (Docomo), but its stable. Besides I believe CDMA has good penetration, so we can get signal in every room.
Photon is CDMA (its not 2G or 3G as it is used for GSM).
