Not true either.
Courts in our legal system have limited discretion in what can be considered,
chiefly just: (1) the facts of the case at hand; (2) *applicable* precedent
["old judgments"], and (3) the legislative record. In general, considering
such things as "foreign cases" and even "opinions filed by various third
parties" (particularly those without standing) would be reversible error.
There are cases where testimony of lawmakers has been used to clarify the
intent of laws. Courts only have the power to interpret what the law was
intended to be, not to make them itself -- the power to interpret is limited.

It won't surprise you by now that I feel that it's quite clear to
anyone with an open mind that x-posting to soc.culture.indian was
appropriate.
What is Indian here are not gsm frequency bands but the facts and
conditions specific to India. For example the signal strengths,
availability of electrical outlets, total cost considerations, which
might make all of the listed models unsuitable, or one model more
suitable than others. A phone could be available in India which was
cheaper and better for local conditions than the all of these. There is
a cdma network too, perhaps unknown to the poster, and if it was better
and cheaper in the cities he intends to visit, someone from India or a
recent visitor could advise him accordingly. Is some model known to
hold out well or poorly in dusty rural areas? These are local issues
and you want to check with those familiar with local conditions.

How true. Please consider your own conduct in this light.
Anyway, I had intended to give my .02 and have given at least .20 by
now. I think both sides of the arguments have been laid out quite
well for all to consider. Therefore, I shall let this be my last post.
Thank you for a good discussion.

There are no cell phone facts and conditions specific to India that have any
bearing on the >> choice of one of the subject cell phones <<.

No more than any other country. That's more than a stretch (as I'm sure you
know).

Again, that's not the OP's question, and not likely in any event, even if it
were on-topic for soc.culture.indian, which it's not.

There are no such local conditions.

If it's unknown to the OP, then it can't have influenced his (inappropriate)
cross-post, now can it? Regardless, that's better determined in a more
appropriate forum, or better yet on the Web.

There aren't such local conditions -- you haven't come up with anything that's
remotely specific to India.
About the only thing specific to India would be the best place to buy a local
prepaid SIM, but that wasn't the OP's question either, and still isn't
on-topic for soc.culture.indian.

Time will tell.

Nokia 6610 is by far the best choice for just making calls - great
reception, great battery life, speakerphone, quality construction
(something that Motorola and Sony Ericsson often have problems with).
The 6610 is the first phone I've kept more than 9 months (going on 15
months now).
