Samsung S3370 Christened the Star Nano 3G in India

Looks like Samsung wants to cash in on the popularity of the word "Nano" in India. No, the Apple iPod Nano ain't that popular in India! We are talking about the Tata Nano - the world's cheapest car which has a nice fan following in the country.

What other than this can explain the rationale behind the naming of the Samsung S3370 to the rather weird and awkwardly long "Star Nano 3G". What is pertinent to note is that the phone also goes by the following names: Samsung Corby 3G, Samsung Pocket3G and Samsung Acton in the various markets where it is sold.

The Star Nano 3G, as the name suggests, will be 3G ready and comes with a 2.6-inch QVGA display - a notch smaller than the normal, 2.8-inch Corby screens. The phone features Samsung's TouchWiz UI, 3G, MP3 player, Bluetooth, FM radio, mobile tracker, access to Samsung Apps, a very basic 1.3MP camera, and Micro SD card support. It also comes with a host of social networking apps including Google Talk, Palringo Chat and AIM.

The Star Nano is priced at Rs. 7,320 and will come with a leather pouch, a stylus and a 2GB memory card.

Mi-Fone Launches Three Low-cost Phones

Mi-Fone has announced the launch of three new QWERTY keyboard laden phones under the Mi-Q - brand.

The company projects these new phones as an "affordable, stylish and a quality competitive mobile to the BlackBerry". The new phones are targeted at the young Indian and come loaded with various features .The three models announced include the Mi-Q+, Mi-Q1 and Mi-Q5. All three phones support email, Instant Messaging, and Uploading and Downloading of documents.

Let's see what these new phones have on offer.

The lowest priced amongst the three, The Mi-Q+ comes loaded with GPRS Class 10, WAP 2.0, MMS, FM radio, a torchlight and the Qwerty keypad for faster SMS.

Next in line is the Mi-Q1 which boasts of GPRS/WAP/MMS and MP3/Video capabilities with a memory capacity of up to 1GB. The phone also has a QWERTY keypad.

The top of the line device is the Mi-Q5 which boats of all the features found in the earlier two handsets and adds a bit more. The features on this one include Bluetooth, support for Java applications, push email and social apps such as Facebook, MSN, etc. It can also take a memory card giving it greater capacity. There is also an option to watch analogue television using the device!

All three phones share the same dimensions and boast of a 5-hour talk time, a standby time of 360 hours and a 1000Mah battery. The screen is a 2.2-inch, 65k colour screen with a resolution of 220x176. They come with a basic camera at the back as well.

The Mi-Fone range of handsets is available from Home Shop 18 Networks and Aditya Birla Stores. As for the prices, here's what you'd need to shell out if you wish to buy one of these phones. The Mi Q1 costs Rs. 3,399, the Mi Q+ is priced at Rs. 2,500 and the Mi Q5 will cost you Rs. 3,999.

Apart from giving you the details of the newly launched phones, we have a very "interesting" ad campaign by Mi-Fone to share with you. This bold and kind-of awkward ad directly compares these new phones to RIM's BlackBerry brand. Take a look at it yourself, leave us a comment and let us know what you think about the tagline "The darker the Berry, the sweeter the juice." We have no words...

Blackberry Bold 9700 in India at price Rs. 31900 with attractive features

Recently we saw a large number of dual SIM cheap handsets targeted towards Rural India and majority mass. It is high time since we came across any high budget business smart phone. Research In Motion (RIM) the makers of Blackberry smartphones today announced the launch of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 with scintillating looks and amazing features. Blackberry Bold 9700 is available in India at price of Rs. 31900. The new Bold 9700 has all the basic ingredients of original black model with new whitish finish to its exterior casing.

The Blackberry Bold 9700 smartphone is 3G enabled and also boasts of its connectivity options with WiFi, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 being present. However, it lacks infrared port, which has become obsolete these days. Besides its connectivity issues, it sports 3.2 MP camera which comes with 2048 x 1536 pixel. In addition, it has autofocus, LED flash and Image stabilization to give decent image quality. However, I am slightly disappointed with its 3.2 MP camera, given its price tag of Rs. 31500. The likes of Xperia and Satio smartphones have 8MP and 12MP respectively within that price range.

The Blackberry Bold 9700 uses the Blackberry OSv5 as its operating system and comes with a nice processing speed of 624 MHz. Thus you can easily watch videos, or access internet without much of a lag. Its multimedia options are also up to the mark with its music player being capable to support nearly all media formats.

In Blackberry Bold 9700 multimedia features, it allows to sync music files, in the handset with user's PC or laptop files , 256MB of inbuilt memory which can be expanded with micro SD card.Blackberry Bold 9700 comes with a powerful 1500mAh Li-Ion battery which claims to provide up to 6 hours of talk time and 16 days of standby time. Its good battery option can let you watch movies flawlessly for a longer period.

So it would be worth to buy this 3G enabled smartphone, however the majority of the mass can not afford it.

Microsoft Kin One and Kin Two

Microsoft's Dynamic Duo Make Social Media More Mobile

Verizon's newest phones, the Microsoft-designed and Sharp-manufactured Kin One and Kin Two, put social media front and center.

More capable than cheap, feature-sparse dumbphones, but quite a few IQ points shy of being true smartphones, the Kins are the latest entrants in a new space where traditional phone features are almost an afterthought, and it's all about the Twitter and Facebook updates.

Palm's Web OS, Motorola's Blur interface, and other Android-based phone operating systems have been doing this kind of social media integration for more than a year. Kin just takes that idea and improves on it.

On the home screen (what Microsoft calls the Loop), a pleasingly formatted stack of randomly sized squares shows the latest updates from your networks. Your friends' avatars are shown large, filling the background of each text update, making the Loop into a photo album as well as news feed. It's hard to look at it without smiling.

Flick the touchscreen to the left to reveal your favorite contacts, swipe the other way to access a vertical stack of applications (text messaging, phone calls, web browsing, music and more.) A camera button activates a still/video camera function, and a Back button on the phone's face takes you back to whatever screen you were looking at before. And that's about it: The phone's interface is amazingly uncluttered, friendly looking and minimalist.

The system still has some glitches to work out. As a Twitter client, it's only half baked, since you can't view @ replies, search or post photos. Similarly, Facebook features are limited to showing or posting status updates, though you can post photos. The phone will easily connect with a Gmail account to display your e-mail, but won't let you access your Gmail contacts. Hotmail or Windows Live user? You're in luck, the Kin is well-integrated with those services.

YouTube videos won't play at all on the Kin, there's no map application, and even though the "Bing Near Me" search button helps find nearby restaurants and cafes, it relies on a browser interface, not a map: Clunky.

Overall, the Kin OS is promising, entertaining and — despite some obvious glitches — fairly well-suited to its target audience of social media addicts: in other words, tweens. How does the hardware stack up? Read on.

Kin One

The smaller of the two, the Kin One is a petite, rounded square of plastic with a tiny screen and a keyboard that slides out from underneath. It's almost impossibly cute and surprisingly functional for a phone that could easily be mistaken for a compact.

The touchscreen is just 1.5 inches tall by 2 inches wide, but its resolution (240 x 320 pixels) is up to the task of displaying your slice of the digital world — at least, that part of it that is posted in 160 characters or less.

A 5-megapixel camera (with a tiny LED light for illumination) takes OK pictures, though it had some trouble focusing on closeup objects in our tests.

The keyboard, though puny, is surprisingly easy to use. One mystery: The bottom, keyboard part of the phone's body protrudes a half-centimeter beyond the screen portion on the bottom and the top edges of the phone. Why the designers didn't just make the screen a little larger and go for a perfectly flush look is a puzzler.

The company claims its batteries will last for more than eight days on standby, and in our tests, it was about exhausted after a full day of heavy use.

For $50 with a two-year contract, the Kin One has a temptingly small sticker price, but don't be fooled: The contract demands a minimum of $70 per month for voice and data service, which means your total cost will be at least $3,410. That's a steep price for keeping your kids up-to-date with the latest on Facebook and Twitter.

But if all you want is a tiny, compact social communications device, and you've got a deep pocketbook, the Kin One is an adorable choice. We're looking forward to seeing more phones like it.

WIRED Super pocket-friendly size and weight (4.1 ounces). Cute as a button. Surprisingly usable keyboard. Built-in FM tuner. Extremely responsive touchscreen.

TIRED Screen too small for much reading or web browsing. Autofocus problems, especially on closeups. Video recording is only standard definition. Doesn't integrate with Google contacts or calendar. Limited Twitter capabilities.

$50 (after $100 mail-in rebate, with 2-year contract)

Kin Two

The Kin Two, with its 3.5-inch, 480-by-320-pixel display, isn't particularly innovative in its design or features. It does what Microsoft is known for best: Come into the game late and copy an idea well enough to make it cheaper and sometimes, just sometimes a little better.

When it comes to the hardware, the Kin Two proves you get what you pay for. The run-of-the-mill design feels cheap. The 4.8-ounce phone doesn't have a solid body, the plastic casing is flimsy and the keys on the slide-out QWERTY keyboard aren't soft or easy to peck on.

But what the phone lacks in looks, it does make up in technical artillery. The Nvidia Tegra processor is zippy, the touchscreen is smooth and the 8-megapixel camera, with an LED flash, delivers some good photos in low light. Unlike the Kin One, it can shoot HD video.

With a larger body comes more screen real estate and a larger keyboard, and that makes the Kin Two potentially more powerful than its little sister. The lack of an onscreen keyboard is a surprising omission, leaving you with no alternative but to flip the phone to the landscape mode if you want to type anything.

Overall, the Kin Two lacks the panache of the tiny, squarish Kin One, however, and invites comparison with smarter phones in the same form factor, like Motorola's Devour, Backflip and Droid, and Samsung's Behold II.

Like the Kin One, the Kin Two requires a two-year voice and data contract with a $70 per month minimum, bringing its total cost to $3,460. Unless you're some sort of iced out playa ballin' out of control, you're better off buying your progeny a feature phone and making them use SMS like all the other kids.

WIRED Free and automatic browser-based phone backup. Easy sharing of photos, videos and web pages.

TIRED Lack of apps and games. No easy way to access maps. El cheap-o design. No calendar or alarm. No onscreen keyboard.

Verizon iPhone would Rock the Smartphone World

With the clock ticking down to Steve Jobs keynote (and rumored Steve Ballmer appearance) at the Apple WWDC event, as well as the rumored launch of the next-generation iPhone, it is to be expected that there is increased speculation over the end of iPhone exclusivity for AT&T and the possible launch of a Verizon iPhone. If Verizon gets an iPhone it could be a game-changer for the smartphone market.

The Android OS is rapidly gaining smartphone market share thanks to devices like the Motorola Droid, the Google Nexus One, and the HTC Droid Incredible, but part of the reason for Android's success is the limited availability of the iPhone. RIM's BlackBerry OS is theleading smartphone platform although it is more or less coasting on its former glory. It has been some time since BlackBerry has done anything really innovative or exciting.

The BlackBerry and Android platforms could both be in for quite a shock when the iPhone breaks the shackles of its AT&T exclusivity. The iPhone is only available from one wireless carrier in the US--accounting for less than half of the potential wireless customers, yet it's the number two smartphone platform. The iPhone is perceived as a consumer gadget, not ready for enterprise primetime, yet it has captured 25 percent of the smartphone market and continues to chip away at BlackBerry's lead.

Android is a very impressive and capable smartphone platform. Even without the iPhone exclusivity limitation, I believe that Android smartphones would still be successful, and would still be the number three smartphone platform and gaining in market share.

That said, the iPhone is fighting with one proverbial hand tied behind its back. It is only available from a single wireless carrier, and it doesn't use gimmicky promotions to artificially inflate demand. The demand seems to be there for a Verizon iPhone, so it's reasonable to expect that breaking the exclusivity floodgate would lead to a spike in market share for the iPhone at the expense of BlackBerry and Android.

As far as the RIM BlackBerry platform is concerned, its continued dominance of the smartphone market is based on two things--the ubiquitous availability of BlackBerry handsets from all major providers, and the perception that BlackBerry is the only platform with the tools and security controls necessary for enterprise deployment. Without those two factors, the iPhone could quickly crush the BlackBerry and take the top spot in the smartphone market.

Well, Apple has made continuous and significant strides toward resolving the issues that IT administrators and security professionals have had with the iPhone, and it has developed a variety of tools that help IT departments provision, manage, and protect iPhones. AT&T recently revealed that four out of ten iPhones sold today are sold to business users rather than consumers (although all business users are consumers, too).

Many consumers and businesses are either locked into contracts with Verizon, or simply don't want to do business with AT&T. Many Verizon customers wish they could get an iPhone, and choose Android and BlackBerry smartphones as the next-best alternative. If Verizon gets the iPhone, the only thing stopping a mass exodus to the Apple smartphone will be Verizon's exorbitant ETFs.

First 4G Android Phone Feels Like the Future

The new Sprint HTC EVO sports some of the nicest hardware you can find on any mobile device on the market and boasts some of the burliest specs we've ever seen in a phone (4G finally!). What's more, it's just drop-dead gorgeous; the kind of thing that compels others to ask about it when you take it out of your pocket.

So the EVO's greatest draw is its 4G WiMax compatibility. How did it work? Uh ... we don't know. We tested the phone in San Francisco, which is not currently wired for 4G. If you're considering the EVO for its data-processing chops, take a look at where 4G is currently deployed.

However, it did do far better with 3G than our iPhone. We took the phone to three different locations in San Francisco where AT&T has coverage holes, and in every case, had a 3G data connection (sometimes slow) while our iPhone wouldn't even make calls. While this may be less of an issue in areas where AT&T delivers the coverage it advertises, those who suffer its inadequate network will be happy to know there's a robust alternative.

On the hardware front, the giant 4.3-inch display makes the iPhone and Nexus One feel dinky in comparison, yet it remains small and light enough to slip easily into a pocket. It flaunts an 8-megapixel camera (with flash) on the back, along with a 1.3-megapixel sensor adorning the front. This dual-screen action allows you to preview pics in order to take well-framed self portraits of yourself and your pals.

The camera also shoots 720p video — it won't replace your HD camcorder, but it's a fantastic shooter to have in your pocket. A kickstand in the back lets you stand it up like a television, while an HDMI port lets you connect it to a TV. The 1-GHZ Snapdragon processor feels faster than the Indy 500 while the phone seemingly has more antennas than your average police car, with 3G, 4G (WiMax), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, FM and GPS connectivity.

All those antennas are put to good use. The navigation system is on par with or better than most standalone GPS units. Moreover, the phone feels designed for the internet from the get-go. On launch, it walks you through setting up your Google, Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts. It imported our Facebook and Google contacts into the phone in seconds, and thanks to Google Voice integration, we were able to use an existing number. We also loved the ability to tether the phone. In just three clicks, you can set up a Wi-Fi connection to send internet to your computer.

Our only real hardware complaint is that the OLED display could bit brighter and crisper — it looks slightly fuzzy next to an iPhone — and we noticed some odd cyclical dimming effects when reading long blocks of text on web pages.

The overall interface is excellent, easily one of the most user-friendly of all the Android phones we've laid hands on. When we handed the phone off to a user who had never before tried Android, she was immersed in seconds and able to do e-mail, surf the internet and tweet without instruction. It's worth noting that the phone does not ship with the newly announced Froyo (2.2) version of Android, however HTC has announced that it intends to update phones released in 2010 with that version of the OS.

Our major quibble is that the battery on the EVO is shorter-lived than a plotline in a Seth McFarland show. A typical use situation gave us about 6 hours of battery life. After driving around town to test the GPS and 3G signals we ran out of juice in just over 4 hours. The situation was even worse when we flipped on the 4G antenna. In short, it won't make it through the day without a recharge. While the battery on the EVO is replaceable, so you can carry a spare, we look forward to a day when smartphone battery life is reasonably matched to power consumption.

Overall, we loved this phone. The hardware is smart and well-appointed, the interface is pleasant and straightforward, and it just plain worked. In short, it felt like a call from the future; one not dropped by AT&T.

WIRED Fantastic camera. Blazing fast internet. More connection options than Grand Central Station. Slick user interface easy for novices, yet allows power users to get their nerd on. Dead-simple tethering. Touchscreen keyboard offers ample space, even for fat-fingered types. Seamless connection with social networks gives it an old-friend feel right out of box.

TIRED 4G coverage spottier than an oil-stained Louisiana beach. Odd dimness issues with display. Android cut/copy/paste so poor you'd do better rekeying. Battery life shorter than Verne Troyer.

• Manufacturer: Sprint
• Price: $200 with 2-year contract
