UPDATE!! 3rd March 2008 - Telenor Smartmail GPRS/EDGE CANNOT BE USED ON A PC anymore.
Read the update here on my 3rd March 2008 Post
***********************************************************

Got Telenor’s Unlimited GPRS/(EDGE where available) postpaid package. (Unlimited GPRS/EDGE is only on available on the phone. It cannot be used on a computer)

The package cost a total of Rs.4000 (this includes one time security & activation charges)
I have the Rs.250 Line Rent and a Rs.1000/month GPRS connection.

So far the results have been good. Using the E61i with Unlimited EDGE is awesome. (Note: It doesn’t work on the PC)

The softwares for Symbian S60 3rd Edition that I am using with the Nokia E61i are:

Telenor’s Smart Mail “Nokia Intellisync” Email Client is working great, though it is a bit heavy. All my gmail mails are getting pushed to my E61i without any problems.

Now I don’t have to manually check if I have emails in my Inbox or not. Each time an email comes, there is a beep, just like when I recieve an SMS, and I know an Email has arrived. Composing Emails & attaching files are as easy as 1-2-3 in SmartMail.

Adding an ATTACHMENT to an Email:

When using heavy websites like Yahoo! Mail Web (http://mail.yahoo.com) version, I close the SmartMail software. Note: There is no need to close SmartMail software if using Yahoo! Mobile (m.yahoo.com)

Using Mobile websites is really fast. My Bookmarks are:

YAHOO! MOBILE: http://m.yahoo.com
MSN MOBILE: http://mobile.live.com
GOOGLE MOBILE: http://mobile.google.com
ORKUT: http://www.orkut.com

Telenor is also providing free ”Itemized Email Billing”, as well as the ability to check the Itemized Billing yourself by using its Web Self service.
