Most of the service providers like Vodafone, airtel etc provide very costly mobile internet and if by any chance you access your mobile internet through your pc, it’s one of the most sluggish internet access procedure. Tata indicom have come with a solution to this where they provide high speed mobile internet at very reasonable price.
But just to take full advantage of this plan you have to buy a Samsung set with Tata indicom connection in it. Samsung has integrated in it a very specially designed browser just to make the browsing experience more fun and more enjoyable. The phone costs approximately 6000 bucks but now I think it should be much less than 6000 bucks. So for all the gprs addicted people, this deal is not going to prove bad if in any case you are planning to buy a new phone. However to talk about the drawbacks of the phone, it lacks Bluetooth, now that’s one hell of a drawback in this fast becoming wireless world.
Tata indicom provides unlimited usage for just Rs.99 per month but it is only applicable if you browse through your phone and if you use through your pc they charge you very heavily, it costs Rs.2 per mb. Moreover the coverage area of tata is also not wide so you can access internet in particular areas only.
In a nutshell: We love the Viewty! Combining a touchscreen user interface with the latest technology, the Viewty ticks all the boxes: 5 megapixel camera, 3G video calling, high quality video camera, MP3 player, FM radio, HSDPA for broadband internet speeds and bags of memory, this is probably LG's best phone so far. Available in black, silver & purple (new). Best buy: *Free* with half-price line rental from Dialaphone (Black) or Silver or free with half-price line rental from Mobiles.co.uk (Purple).
If you liked the LG Prada or are considering an iPhone, then the LG Viewty should definitely be top of your list of phones to check out first. Touchscreen phones are the hot product of 2007/2008 and LG have a proven track record in this area with the LG Prada. The Viewty is basically a souped-up Prada without the designer logo, and it's a very accomplished product. We loved the Prada's touchscreen user interface, and the Viewty retains the best features of the Prada, but with the addition of 3G, a 5 megapixel camera, an uprated video camera, more memory and longer battery life.
For the benefit of those who haven't seen a Prada or iPhone, let's recap the touchscreen concept. Not to be confused with touch-sensitive buttons (e.g. the LG Chocolate or Samsung U600), the Viewty has a touch-sensitive screen. This means that icons and menus appear on the screen itself, and you touch the screen to activate the "buttons". The Viewty uses subtle vibration feedback to confirm when you've pressed a button, and you'll very quickly get used to the concept. There are real buttons below the screen for making and ending calls, a jog wheel, and also side buttons for controlling volume, the camera and the music player. We liked the touchscreen interface very much, and the technology now seems to be mature enough for touchscreens to enter the mainstream. If you're a fast texter you might find that the touchscreen slows you down a little, but the sheer pleasure of using the on-screen menus more than compensates for this. T9 predictive text is supported too. A stylus pen is provided if you find the interface too slow using your finger. The Viewty also supports handwriting recognition, so you should be able to find an input method that you're comfortable with.
Apart from the user interface, the Viewty has several pleasures waiting to be discovered. The camera is LG's best yet, rated at 5 megapixels with a high quality Schneider-Kreuznach lens, autofocus and a SmartLight feature that makes after-dark photographs considerably clearer. You can also vary the ISO setting to ISO 800 for improved brightness in low light. In common with many digital cameras, the Viewty's camera incorporates an Image Stabiliser function for minimising camera shake. The Viewty can't match the best camera phones from Nokia or Sony Ericsson, but it definitely ranks in the top 10 of current camera phones. As well as a top notch still camera, the Viewty's video camera is also something special. It films at high resolution (320 x 240 pixels QVGA) and at very high frame rates - up to 120 frames per second, which enables special effects such as slow motion filming. There are built-in picture-editing and video-editing tools to make the most of these cameras. In addition, a second front-facing camera enables 3G video calls.
The Viewty's music player is nice and easy to use and can handle virtually every music format: MP3/AAC/AAC+/AAC++/WMA. There's also an FM radio built in. Stereo headphones are supplied in the box, and you can use optional mono or stereo Bluetooth headphones if you prefer. The Viewty's memory is very generous, with 90 Mbytes of internal memory and up to 2 Gbytes of additional memory (microSD memory card).
We've already mentioned that the Viewty is a 3G phone. In fact it's 3.5G, i.e. it supports extra fast 3G connections using HSDPA which enables download speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps. Bluetooth and USB connectivity are available, and a USB cable is supplied in the box. The Viewty supports web browsing and email, and there's a useful document viewer that can handle all common file formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF).
Introduction : The Nokia E60 is a standard candybar phone and compared to other Nokia business phones (9500 or 9300i) the E60 is somewhat smaller and also cheaper. Weight is 117 g (with Nokia Battery BL-5C) and dimensions are 115 mm x 49 mm x 16,9 mm.The E60 packs in almost every business function that exists, including a few novel ones. Naturally the basics are covered - integrated speakerphone, vibration alert, voice commands, voice recorder, email, web browser, Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Then there are some less common but valuable features - 3G, Symbian applications, Push to Talk, an attachment viewer for browsing Office documents, Wireless LAN and a memory card (plus a generous 64 Mbytes of internal memory).
Finally, there are a couple of novel features that might or might not prove useful. The first of these is the capacity to make VoIP calls via the wireless LAN connection. Making free calls is probably not top priority for the average business user, but this could still prove be a useful feature. There's also a feature that people will love or hate: Talking Caller ID. This means that the phone will speak the name of an incoming caller as part of the ringtone. Could be useful (or embarrassing!) Price £203.40 (Exc VAT)
Design :
The E60 is, to put it bluntly, a bit of a brick. Nokia calls it a "monoblock", and at 115mm by 49mm by 16.9mm and 117g, that it is. Given the Finnish company's recent experimentation with unusual phone form factors (such as the keyless 7380 and the swivel-happy 3250), it's a contrast to see a regression to the basic rectangular shape of days gone by. With its silver accents and simple silhouette, the E60 is not unattractive, but it does reflect the strictly business nature of the phone's features.
For a large phone, some of the buttons are curiously tiny. The power key on the top right is small and stealthy, and Nokia's decision to refer to the five-way directional key as a "joystick" was somewhat optimistic. Scrolling through Web pages for more than a few minutes will bring you not joy, but a sore thumb, due to the small, recessed nature of this square button.
One thing that did make us very happy was the brilliant display. The 16 million-colour screen is simply gorgeous, and makes reading Web pages and e-mail attachments very easy on the eyes. Features :
Many of the features across the Eseries have been designed to fit in easily with an existing enterprise environment, removing the hassle of setting up protocols, proxies and passwords. Particularly useful features of the E60 include the ability to connect to your company's IP-PBX system so that calls to your desk phone are automatically diverted to your mobile. This also means that you can use the E60 to perform workplace telephone functions like call transfer and voicemail forwarding.
For mobile mail, you can go the IMAP/POP3 standard route, or take the plunge into push e-mail. The Eseries phones support third party push applications including BlackBerry Connect, meaning the E60 can swiftly slot into an existing BlackBerry enterprise set-up. Key Features :
* Symbian OS v9.1, Series 60 3rd Edition * 64 MB internal memory * WLAN (WiFi) with SIP compliant VoIP client * Bluetooth 1.2, Infrared and USB support * EGSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 and WCDMA * Web browser based on WebKit * 352 x 416 pixel full colour LCD. * no Radio * no camera * 115 mm x 49 mm x 16.9 mm, 117 grams PC Connectivity * PC synchronization with Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes via Nokia PC Suite (available to download for free at http://europe.nokia.com/pcsuite) provides you with up-to-date personal information * The Nokia E60 can be used efficiently as a modem over local and global networks
Ease of Use * Wide, advanced high-resolution screen makes images sharper and reduces the need to scroll * Documents and applications appear with high clarity * User friendly, sleek design Compatibility * Supports leading push email clients * Organizer compatible with MS Outlook and Lotus Notes * Supports up to six Bluetooth wireless connections at the same time * Add-on memory with RS-memory cards via hot swapping capability Security * Device lock * OMA Digital Rights Management 1.0 (Forward lock, Combined Delivery, Separate Delivery, Superdistribution) * Secure Socket Layers 3.0 and Transport Layer Security (TLS) * WLAN security framework Performance :
We had no problems with connectivity -- Bluetooth devices paired instantly with the E60, and file transfer was quick and easy. E-mail transmission and attachment handling (PDF, Word and Excel documents) was also problem-free, with those wonderful wizards guiding the set-up process. We appreciated the ability to edit received documents rather than just view them.
Despite our grumblings about navigating with the joystick, we liked the way Web browsing was handled. The relatively new S60 Web browser, which is based on the same components as Apple's Safari application, allows big, complex Web pages to be displayed on small screens with few changes to design and functionality. It's a brilliant browser -- we especially liked the Page Overview function, which displays a mini screenshot of the entire page so you know which direction to move your pointer in. The phone's display rotate feature also allows you to browse in landscape mode.
Voice features all performed well; the speakerphone was nice and clear, although playback volume without headphones was a little soft. You also need to stay within a metre or two of the microphone when recording.
Battery life was very good, with the phone lasting almost a week on mid-level voice and text use. Extended internet use did bring battery life down significantly, but no more than you'd expect for a 3G smartphone.
Generally, the E60 was a pleasure to use. It may not suit heavy mobile Web users given the screen size and small joystick, but push e-mail devotees who don't want a device of PDA proportions will be happy with this model. It's not a phone that you'd slip into your board shorts when the weekend rolls around, but the focus on workday functions and corporate integration means it does everything you'd want a business phone to do.

The latest brainchild of Sims creator Will Wright is said to be making it’s way onto mobile gaming’s new home on Sunday, according to a Pocket Gamer report.
Simulating the evolution of an entire universe seems like a slightly…broad topic for a video game, but the critically acclaimed designer has managed to condense it all into a title for home computers as well as the iPhone. Unfortunately, the civilisation building and interplanetary warfare aspects will be restricted to the PC and Mac versions, whilst the iPhone version concentrates upon the initial ‘cellular growth’ phase of the game. Hence the name, ‘Spore Origins’.
The game is still very impressive for a mobile phone title, and speaking at a London launch event Wright urged fans to focus on the positive points of this title: “It’s got beautiful graphics, good music and it uses the tilting controls. But we may take other aspects of Spore and bring them to the iPhone later.”
Sweet words to placate fans of mobile gaming, or an admission of more Spore content on its way to the iPhone? Well, it’s far more likely to be success in terms of sales more than anything else which determines sequels, so we’ll enjoy the first one for now…
Music, video and other multimedia may soon be able to be swapped from your mobile phone using peer-to-peer (P2P) file-trading technologies being developed by phone maker Nokia. The latest developments from Lorant Farkas and colleagues at the Nokia Research Center in Budapest threaten to eclipse existing file-trading on computers by making P2P networking a feature of the ubiquitous mobile phone.
Existing Peer-to-Peer (P2P) software connects computers in a network, allowing them to act as both client and server to relay messages and trade files without a central server. The immense popularity of file-trading programs like Napster, Gnutella and Kazaa has allowed users to search other hard drives in a network for music or video files which they can then download for free. Lawsuits by music and movie companies have seen increased pressure to criminalise file-trading and stop the sharing of copyrighted material. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napster
This developments may eventually compound the problem for copyright holders: global mobile phone usage is estimated at 1.5 billion according to research company Cellular Online.
Several design challenges exist in converting file-trading technologies to the mobile phone. Nokia's system uses GPRS networks where users are charged for the data they receive and send, not how long they stay connected. This system is less resilient than the internet itself, and mobile phones have a built-in limitation when it comes to bandwidth, processing power, storage and battery life.
