(Data Connectivity only)
I have done it on Tata Indicom network and have a Macbook Pro. It should also work well on a Macbook.
Your SIM card must be pre-activated on windows or a CDMA phone. (Important update.. Feb 2009. Recently Tata Indicom has asked its customer to upgrade the SIM card. Please take your SIM card to a Tata Indicom outlet and ask them to insert it in a Tata Mobile and dial *228 from it. Follow the instructions that you hear on that call)
Boot your Mac
Insert Sungil SXC – 1080 in the USB port
Open System Preferences
Click on Network
A dialog box will open up. Click OK!
Go to Location.

Feel free to drop me a line on trueimages@gmail.com if you still have problems and I shall try to respond as soon as I can. The formula given above is for use of Mac Community, and should work well.
This is only a goodwill effort for the Mac Community and I bear no responsibility if this does not work for any reason.
