Nokia’s answer to Iphone/TouchScreen Phone’s – Nokia Tube/5800

Till now Nokia was known for its durable candybar,clamshell and sliding phones leaving behind exceptions like (7710, 6108).But it had been lagging behind in the world of touch screen phones compared to the likes of the Apple Iphone,Samsung Omnia,SE Xperia,LG Renoir,HTC Diamond,Imate Ultimate and others.Here is a quick look at the best Touch Screen phones of the recent times:

True Nokia lovers like me who always wanted a touchscreen phone without loosing the Nokia User-Interface & features can rejoice now as their wait is finally over with the Nokia Tube/Nokia 5800:

Formerly known as Nokia Tube, the first S60 handset to feature touchscreen technology will run on the new edition of the OS – Symbian S60 Taco 5.0. Despite packing a generous 3.2-inch screen with the exciting widescreen resolution of 640 x 360 pixels Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be more of an upper midrange than a high-end device. It will come complete with a 3.2 megapixel autofocus shooter, and will be able to capture videos at up to VGA resolution at 30 fps.

The Nokia 5800 will measure 111 x 52 x 15.5mm and will come with quad-band GSM support and 3G with HSDPA. The weight is also quite acceptable, standing at 109 grams. Some of the other extras include: GPS, 3.5mm standard audio jack, TV-out and a microSD card slot. According to the reviewer the handset will also have an 8GB card included in the retail package.

Nokia E71 Video Review

Anybody who would read the features and watch the video will fall in love with it as its the best well until today atleast.Astonished to what I am saying well believe it or not its true even before I could get hands on to it leaked and spy videos of Nokia E72 are out.Here is the first look at new device exclusively for you people.Sit back and enjoy or cry as I literally cried watching it.Unfortunately,the video has been removed due to complaint by Nokia thanks to the infringement law but luckily I had saved the pictures on my computer so here they are:

Apple Iphone 3G finally arrives in India

Well what seemed like a distant dream for an Indian mobile consumer will be a reality on August 22 as the much hyped mobile of the recent times the Apple Iphone 3g will be out officially so no more running to the grey markets and getting the without warranty Iphone’s.

India’s leading operators Bharti Airtel and Vodafone on Wednesday said they will launch the iPhone 3G on August 22.
The two companies have been inviting their customers to book their phones ahead of the launch, but did not divulge the volume of the demand so far, nor the price of either the phone or the service. However, it is highly likely that both will offer similar if not identical rates.
“We need to apprise customers of the price before we can get a realistic estimate of the actual number of people who will buy the phone,” said a source in Vodafone.
The iPhone was first launched a year ago in US with AT&T as an exclusive carrier. Its inaugural price was Rs 15,960 for 8GB and Rs 19,960 for 16GB with a two-year service agreement.
It remains to be seen whether Vodafone and Airtel will offer a return policy for these iPhones. In the US, AT&T offers a 14-day return policy provided the phone is returned at the original point of purchase.
Usually, Apple signs a multi-year exclusive partnership where the iPhone is only available with the wireless service from one carrier in one country. The Apple iPhone 3G has been the technology revelation of the year, combining all the revolutionary features of iPhone plus 3G networking.

Lets have a look at the launch video of the Apple Iphone 3g

Apple Iphone 3G Launch

The new IPhone, looks very similar to the old one but has a glossy black or white plastic in place of a metal back cover.

Even though this next generation IPhone has much lower price point, it has host of mouth watering features built into it.

The best part is that new Iphone runs on third-generation (3G) wireless networks and loads Internet pages nearly 3 times faster than its previous avatar. The Iphone has much improved email features too.

The new Iphone also includes satellite navigation capability and comes with a inbuilt 8GB memory, which I think is more than sufficient to most of us.

A new service, “MobileMe,” will automatically send e-mail and other information to iPhones, similar to Microsoft Corp’s Exchange e-mail server product. The pay service will replace Apple’s .Mac service and offer Web applications intended to make the phone work more like a desktop computer.

Glad to be the S60 Ambassador for India

I was surprised when I received a package from Nokia,USA in the morning.I knew something was coming way but didn’t have a slightest idea of what it could be.As soon as I collected the package from DHL delivery guy I opened it and loved the stuff I received from people at S60.To my surprise,the package included really useful stuff like Pen,Mouse-pad,Notepads,T-shirt,Neck String and all.All this will come in real handy while doing the real job that I’ve been hired for.

Considering that S60 people have shown immense faith in me and have given me such a valuable opportunity to work on such a prestigious project I can assure everyone that I’ll be putting my heart & soul in it.I’ll be meeting a lot of people in and would be interacting with them it may include my friends,my family and strangers too.Hope I am able to complete this project with flying colours with commitment and your support..That’s all for now….
