After i made the payment,the package dissapeared !! :O
Its nowhere to be seen :O
Well even I bought this phone here in US and was able to root and then flash it to a prepaid service PagePlus here ($80 per year).
Very soon I would be returning to India, any pointers on how to flash it to Reliance?
EDIT: Just saw the posts by varkey and kanishk619, so a lot is already being discussed.
My phone is already rooted and MSL is changed to all zeros, so as if I understand correctly, I need to do the following steps -
1. Register my MEID at Reliance Web World and get a plan
2. Upload the Reliance PRL (where to get it?)
3. Do an OTA updated (*228)
After doing the above steps Voice, SMS and 1x data should work?
EVDO looks complex to setup, need to get into the details. This is my first time in CDMA world, with some efforts I was able to flash the One V to PagePlus here in US, hope to get it done to Reliance as well.
I noticed one thing though, the naming convention used in India seems to be very different than what is used in US.
I hope MSL is called SPC there and ESN is called as MEID.
What is pESN and OMH? :S

Webworld guys will not register meid. You need to find some other guy.
Esn is an older format of cdma device identification number just like meid.
pESN is calculated on the basis MEID, pESN can be same for many meid.
Omh is known as open market handset, on the older sim number which aren't omh, evdo will not work.
MSL=SPC

I had emailed Reliance customer care, and they confirmed twice that I just need to visit the Web World to register the RSN / MEID / ESN etc and they would do it for me.

Anyway as mentioned by someone on another forum I contacted -- http://www.rimweb.in/forums/user/24797-tarun-kabra/
He said it would be Rs 500 per handset, and he will register the MEID, provide the Akey and the EVDO parameters ie user id / pass. Zero support.

Yup, zero support. Lack of support is what makes the buyers frustrated. They wont help you out even if the problem is compared to none.
Sure about registration? That would be great, however i dont think they can figure out the evdo thing.
No updates yet from my local webworld store. They are saying that thr is no option in the portal and they are not aware of such implementation.

Well, that's what two different customer care reps said. I will try at a Reliance Web World first once I get the phones. Lets hope for the best!

Will go with a copy of the email conversation, will have some ground to talk to them!
I guess they can place a request which can later be processed by the back-end team?I should receive the phones in the next 2-3 days, so will go and check during the weekend.
They do, even my last two packages by DHL were cleared at Bangalore, delivered at Cochin. Maybe it depends on the final destination of the package, or simply the availability of connecting flights.

Just called DHL and they said only the clearance paperwork is completed and the shipment is not actually released. As per now the duty amount including their handling charge is Rs 593, but it is not yet finalized.
