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.
