HTC 8X now available for Rs.34,149 at online retailer Saholic

2012-11-18T18:39:00.003+05:30

It is the third week of November and as we were expecting, the Windows Phone 8X by HTC has gone on sale in India.

The Windows Phone 8X by HTC or popularly referred to as HTC 8X is now available for prospective users to grab on online retailer Saholic for Rs.34,149.

The HTC 8X is a signature Windows Phone 8 smartphone which was unveiled back in September and was announced for launch in India earlier this month. It is the first Windows Phone 8 smartphone to hit the shelves in the Indian subcontinent.

The HTC 8X packs in the following specs:

4.3 inch Super LCD 2 720p display
Gorilla Glass Protection
Polycarbonate Unibody design
1.5 GHz Dual-Core Snapdragon S4 chipset
1 GB RAM
16 GB Internal storage
Windows Phone 8 OS
8 MP camera with f/2.0 aperture
2.1 MP front facing camera
Beats Audio
Dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, NFC
Bluetooth 2.1, microUSB

For the given price tag HTC has priced the 4.3-inch smartphone aggressively and this would indeed put pressure on Nokia to price its Nokia Lumia 920 at a competitive price.

So if you were waiting for the HTC 8X, it could be all yours for Rs.34,149 from Saholic.

Sony readying new flagship to take on iPhone 5 & Galaxy S III, looking at WP8 too

2012-11-18T18:38:00.003+05:30

Sony Mobiles is indeed having a tough time in the mobile phone market and the company knows about it, but is not losing hope.

Sony’s Mobile’s sales head Dennis van Schie has in an interview to FTD said that Sony “will create, in the near future, a flagship model that can compete with Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy S III.”

This is indeed a bold statement and we really hope that Sony keeps up with its words. In the recent months, we have heard about two smartphones that the company is working on.

One is the Sony C650X codenamed Sony Odin and another smartphone, the C6603 Sony Yuga which is is expected to arrive with a 5-inch Full-HD 1080p display and which has also been pictured earlier this month.

No more details were revealed by van Schie but he said that the flagship will run on Android OS. He also said that Sony is keeping a close watch on as to how Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 OS is doing in the market and if the OS succeeds, Sony “will not be caught off-guard”.

It would be interesting to see as to how Sony fares in the market with its new flagship which we can expect to be showcased in early-2013.

AirTel offers free incoming calls to users in Africa while roaming in India, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka

2012-11-18T18:37:00.003+05:30

Bharti Airtel has today announced the introduced world’s first free intercontinental incoming roaming service that would go on to allow Airtel’s subscribers in Africa to enjoy free incoming calls while roaming in three countries viz. India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

This great facility will allow Airtel’s users in 17 countries of Africa to roam freely in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

About 60 million Airtel subscribers in Africa will be able to make use of it and roam at affordable tariff in the three countries. Businessmen, tourists, students and more people will surely go on to benefit from this free roaming facility as it’ll let them stay in touch with their loved ones back in Africa.

Airtel users travelling to these countries will not need any kind of activation for the service as it will be automatically activated for all customers travelling to the mentioned countries.

Indeed a nice move by Airtel and we hope that a similar service is introduced by Airtel for its subscribers in India.

HTC Deluxe aka international version of HTC Droid DNA leaks

2012-11-18T18:36:00.007+05:30

Arch insider @Evleaks is back with some pre-weekend leak for us and this time we get to have a look at the international version of the newly launched HTC Droid DNA.

As per the leak, the international version of the Droid DNA is expected to arrive as HTC Deluxe with almost same specs as that of the DNA.

The HTC Droid DNA arrives with a 5-inch Super LCD 3 screen with a full-HD 1920 x 1080 pixels display resolution. The smartphone is powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor coupled with 2 GB RAM and the Deluxe is expected with arrive with the same.

We are not sure if the HTC Deluxe will be arriving with 3G or 4G LTE connectivity on-board as there is no indication of it in the leaked image. There is only a Wi-Fi signal seen in the image. All the rest of the specs are expected to remain the same.

There is no mention of any launch date yet but now that the leak has surfaced, it might not be too long before we see HTC making the device official.

Saholic does a U-turn on Nexus 4 Indian launch date, moved to 'by January 15th, 2013

2012-11-18T18:35:00.003+05:30

Yesterday there were reports doing the rounds that the LG Nexus 4 would launch in India by 30th November, 2012 when online retailer Saholic listed the smartphone as ‘Coming Soon’ with an available by 30th November tag.

The date coincided by earlier reports where an LG executive told that the Nexus 4 will be launched in India by November end.

But today, there has been a U-turn from Saholic as the online retailer has gone ahead and changed the date of available to “by 15th January, 2013” which we expect has been changed as the news of the previous date spread.

The new date of January 15th, 2013 is still not confirmed and the “by” in listing also indicates that the Nexus 4 could be launched before that date too, though there is no official date from LG as for now.

The LG Nexus 4 arrives with:

4.7-inch screen True HD IPS Plus screen
Display resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels
1.5 GHz Quad-core Qualcomm S4 Pro processor
2 GB RAM
8 GB and 16 GB internal storage
8 MP rear camera with LED Flash
1.3 MP front facing camera
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
2G, 3G, NFC, Wireless Charging
2100 mAh battery

So if you have been waiting for the LG Nexus 4 to launch in India in November, the wait just got prolonged. But if you are itching to grab yourself the latest Nexus, the smartphone is available on online retailer eBay.

Google Maps for iPhone in final testing, coming soon

2012-11-18T18:34:00.001+05:30

Back in September, Apple went on to pull the switch on Google Maps with the release the iOS 6 and with that the Apple Maps, which was hyped a lot by the company reached the end users.
The Apple Maps was definitely not ready for release and was pushed way too early to the end users which was a blunder for which Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook had to apologize personally.

Since the day it was confirmed that Google Maps was removed from iOS, it was being said that Google will side-load the app into the iTunes App Store and today WSJ is reporting that Google is busy giving finishing touches to the Google Maps for iPhone and has distributed the app to people close to the company to try out.

After this is done, Google will submit the app to the App Store for the Cupertino’s approval and once this is done with iOS users will be able to access it on their iOS devices. WSJ also claims that the Google Maps app for iPhone will go on to arrive with turn-by-turn navigation too.

The race to bringing Maps apps to the iOS is heating up as just earlier this week, we also saw Finnish giant Nokia announced that it has submitted its Mapping app HERE to Apple.

Windows Phone 7.8 already RTM'd, arriving in next few days

2012-11-18T18:32:00.001+05:30

Almost everybody who owns a smartphone running on Windows Phone 7.5 OS are indeed counting days to when the Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade that Microsoft has promised will arrive on their older smartphones.

And if the latest report flowing in Singapore is to be believed, then the Windows Phone 7.8 OS has already been released to manufacturing (RTM) earlier this week.

The news is coming in straight from a developer event held in Singapore which was focused on Windows Phone 8 development via WMPU and developers at the event were informed that the Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade is expected to release in a matter of just days to week.

The event was held by Microsoft and Nokia together but it is unclear if this upgrade will roll out only to Nokia Lumia smartphone in the mentioned time period or to smartphones of other OEMs too.

The source has also allegedly confirmed that IE10 will not be making way to the older devices with the Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade as the browser is said to be fully hardware accelerated.

The Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade is said to bring the new start screen which will arrive with three Live Tile sizes which users can customize. Just a couple of days back, a leaked slide mentioned that older devices will also get twenty themes which users will be able to use to customize their Windows Phone smartphones.

We also expect Microsoft to include feature to edit MP3 files and use it as a ringtone, while the Internet Explorer could arrive with security updates and fixes. Another leak earlier suggested that Rooms and Xbox Music feature could arrive with the upgrade.

Huawei introduces fastest smartphone the Ascend D quad mobile phone

2012-02-28T22:16:00.002+05:30

Huawei introduced the world’s fastest quad-core smartphone, the Huawei Ascend D quad.

Powered by the Huawei’s K3V2 quad-core 1.2GHz/1.5GHz processor and boasting the most compact design among 4.5-inch smartphones, the Ascend D quad expands the realm of possibilities for consumers with an Android 4.0 operating system and Huawei’s proprietary power management system which provides up to 30% in energy savings.

The Ascend D quad is an entertainment dynamo with its 4.5-inch 720P high definition touchscreen, and the industry’s most powerful 32-bit true color graphic processor.

Its PPI 330 screen providing crystal clear display even under direct sunlight, is complemented by its Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound and Audience earSmart voice technology for an experience which excels across the senses.

Its 8-megapixel BSI rear-facing camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and 1080p full HD video-capture and playback capabilities enables you to record your special moments in clearer, richer detail.

The Ascend D quad comes with an 1800mAh battery, which lasts for one to two days with normal usage.

Cheers Mobile no more.!! Etisalat DB Commences Network Shut Down

2012-02-26T19:48:00.000+05:30

Cost Cutting a Prudent Strategy for Managing EDB's Financial Resources

February 22, 2012 Abu Dhabi, UAE & Mumbai, India – The decision of the Supreme Court of India to revoke all 122 UAS licenses issued by the Government of India in January 2008 affecting eight major operators, including several major international telecommunications companies, has removed EDB's ability to operate from June 2, 2012. As unanimously resolved by the Board this evening, Etisalat DB will be taking steps to reduce operating costs, including the suspension of its network and services, pursuant to the terms of its UAS licenses.

The decision has been taken in order to protect the interests of all stakeholders and to avoid incurring further costs at this time of rapid change and continued uncertainty in the Indian telecommunications sector.

The Emirates Telecommunications Corporation - Etisalat believes that this is a sensible and wholly appropriate action under the circumstances. Etisalat will make a decision on its future participation in the Indian market when there is clarity on the auction process and telecommunications policy and greater legal and regulatory certainty and stability.

The factors behind the Supreme Court judgment are based on actions that took place long before Etisalat entered the Indian market and considered investing in Swan Telecom.

Further information, including the official cessation date will be communicated shortly to EDB's customers through the appropriate channels.

At this stage, EDB would like to thank its subscribers in India for their custom, and regrets any inconvenience caused.
