Onida G430-unveiled

I was a bit tired of reviewing mobiles which were all no show-no substance. This time I decided to have a closer look at a mobile that was high in quality and low on price. I picked Onida, not just for a being a perfect package of looks and intelligence but because I personally believe that it has not got its due in the mobile phone market…yet.
I chose Onida G430. The phone has a neat, no frills look that speaks of reliability and being an Onida baby you can that they would not have compromised on quality.
LOOK
As mentioned above, the frame is neat with a sleek n slim look. The display supports 65000 colors, so viewing images or video clips is a lot of fun. It has a round centralized navigation key which not only lends a chic look to the mobile but also ensures that it’s easy to operate. The keys to receive or cancel calls are located on the left and right side respevtively and the key pad has all the keys well spaced, so it’s easy to work your way around. Over all, its engineered to fit comfortably in anyone’s hand, be it a first time user or a mobile loyalist.
FEATURES
It goes without saying that this mobile phone is feature rich. Coming from Onida, they have done a fabulous job with its performance. This mobile boasts of a 0.3 MP camera, so you know that you can click at a moment’s notice if you have this mobile around. It’s packed with an audio and video player and a video recorder. For the music hungry masses, the mobile has an inbuilt FM and an MP3 player. The sound quality is astounding and the goodies don’t end here…you can store your tracks in the 1GB extendable memory using a microSD card along with all your other important data. The 60MB internal memory is equipped to store contacts, text messages, ring tones, images, videos clips, calendar, notes and other applications. Then there is the ever in demand…the internet surfing. With GPRS, this mobile is internet enabled; keeping you connected even when you are on the move. What more can you ask from this poor little baby???
PRICE
Though it’s coming from a brand that’s already an established name in consumer electronics, the Onida G430 mobile phone is priced very sensibly. For prices and a better look at other Onida mobiles you can check out MobileNXT.com

Travel smart with your mobile phone

I remember my college days; we had gone up north for a pharmacy tour. This also involved travelling to Kullu, Manali, Chandigarh and Delhi. Every new hotel that we checked in, involved calling my parents through the reception. This in itself was like was a scary task as the connection was cranky, half the words were lost, so I had to fill in whatever I could not hear and many times I jumped to the wrong conclusion. The poor me dint have a choice and suffered a mini heart attack every time the hotels presented the bill before checking out. They burnt a hole in my wallet. Even when I had called, the conversation stuck to the most practical points as I could almost see the bill shoot up in my head while I sat in my room struggling to speak through a bad connection.

Now when I look back it all seems like the prehistoric times, what with the phone lines being dead most of the time along with the cross connections. Nowadays we don’t just have mobile phones and rent free roaming, but also while roaming the incoming is just a notch higher than the local calls and the outgoing is also quiet reasonable. Money is not the only factor that’s important here, there’s also the flawless connectivity minus shrills and continuous voice breaks. With mobile phones the convenience and quick access in case of emergencies of any kind is amazing besides being economical and essential while travelling. Though ensuring that the mobile phone has network access where you are up and moving and the battery being charged is important. Let’s also include the SMS, and the camera (which is a common feature in almost all phones), comes in handy while travelling. Now it’s a night mare to step out of the house without your mobile phone.

Dance to the tunes of Nokia N96

My first impression of the Nokia N96 was that it seems a cross over between the iPhone and the Nokia N95. Since I bought my Nokia online through MobileNXT.com, I got to examine it closely only after it was delivered home. On a closer look I realized that this mobile possessed the most intelligent features of both the phones, minus their not-so-happening-features.
Out here we will scrutinize the music part of it especially since it also covers the most loved feature of this phone, its 16GB memory…
This sleek Nokia mobile phone is compatible with Polyphonic, Monophonic, True tones and MP3s. The MP3 feature is the hot favorite as you can make playlists and add the tracks based on genres, artists, movies etc. Besides compiling of all your favorite songs there’s also a section that includes all the latest songs played, recent additions and the most played songs. So choosing the tracks to be played gets simplified, besides being quick.
With the equalizer feature, you can also set it on Bass booster, Classical, Jazz, Pop and Rock, ensuring that you enjoy all forms of music. Since this phone is a precursor of the N series of Nokia, the audio quality is exceptional, but then u can’t expect anything less from Nokia!
How can we forget the FM? This phone supports 20 radio stations (We don’t have that many in the city, but a t least you won’t miss out on any new radio stations...as and when they come upJ ) so you are always connected to the latest releases and local news. The Nokia N96 also sports a good loudspeaker, as in the sound doesn’t break and the voice throw is commendable so sharing your music or the conversation is a lot of fun.
So the next time you need a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, just plug in your N96 and let music take over.

Nokia N73..musically mine

Cant compromise with you music, then you have to own the Nokia N73. It’s just about any music lovers dream and since the day I have bought one, I have been zapped. Completely!!!
My Nokia N73 has an MP3 player that’s backed by 2GB microSD card. Though I have downloaded almost all my favorite tunes, there’s still some memory left:) . The music quality is phenomenal; even when I am in a noisy environment; the audio quality is brilliant enough to transport me into another world. Since I spend almost four hours of the day travelling in Mumbai locals, it’s my retreat from the chaos that ensues during that period. This mobile also has an inbuilt FM, though I am not able to utilize this much thanks to poor signals in the train. Once in a while it’s refreshing to hear those chirpy RJs and local news, but this remains restricted to my walk back home or when I am tired of my collection.
Another feature that I had missed in my pervious handset was a good loud speaker. This mobile has an impressive speaker phone with 3D surround sound. It makes it more fun to share music with friends and also the comfort to hear your phone ring loudly n clearly during an incoming call or SMS. Small pleasures of my life:). Talking about SMSs, this phone also features MMS and emails. Another cool feature is that you can copy and paste messages, though other Nokia phones also had this feature, I was lately enlightened by a friend about it. Since then I have found messaging a lot more fun.
Now we get to its camera…its 3.2MP with autofocus, LED flash, the works... Its fun to click and editing the results of my photographic urges has kept me happily engaged for hours. The results are brilliant, despite the fact that I am not very nimble with my fingers, I am able to boast of some beautiful images that I managed to capture all thanks to this little dedicated key for the camera.
This gizmo has internet connectivity, but I haven’t ever utilized that for some reasons…maybe I dint feel the need for it. With the astounding music quality, a brilliant camera and superb messaging features, I have been toooooo satisfied to ask for something more.

My new dual SIM phone

In college, I was delighted when my parents gifted me a new mobile phone. It was all I could ask for, as I had been feeling terribly left out. Barring me, my whole gang had a mobile. Better late than never!!! A few days down the line, everyone had my number from my relatives to my neighbors. But god was in a good mood and as soon as I got employed I was rewarded with a new number, the best part was that the company would pay the bill. Awesome:) Till it sunk in that this meant pooling in money for a new mobile and above all handling two mobiles. I couldn’t quit my first number, everyone had it as I had been using it for three year and the new number was already on my visiting card. Damn!!! Damn!!! Damn!!! I had heard of dual SIM phones, but I wasn’t sure if they would be feature rich and what if they charged a bomb?I googled and came across mobileNXT.com. They had an entire range of dual SIM phones .Nice!!! I placed an order for Bleu 470x. If the convenience of getting the phone home delivered for just Rs.2 was not enough, the phone turned out to be a dream. Both my SIM’s are active at the same time, both have separate phone books, and the best part (though not so useful) I can call from one number to the other, within the mobile. Feature wise also the phone is well endowed. It has an MP3 player, an inbuilt FM, a 0.3 MP camera and the memory can be expanded to 1GB. WOW!! The icing on the cake…I could do away with handling two bulky handsets and instead flaunt this sleek phone and that too at an unbelievable price.Wanna check it out for yourself… check out MobileNXT.com

Nokia N96..Arrives

Talk about looking forward to owning a phone with awaited breath…that’s exactly how I am feeling as of now. My mind is reeling from the after effects of seeing the phone in action. The phone is beautiful in every possible way.
Coming from the N series, the phone has a rich sound quality (actually that goes without saying). 16GB of internal memory is sufficient to store all your data, but people who are hungry for more; they can expand it by 8GB using a micro SD card and if even that doesn’t meet your expectations, then heaven help you!! There’s also FM radio with RDS…just in case you still want more music.The brilliance is not restricted to the music. It also has a 5 MP camera with auto focus and double flash. Another thing that I liked about this phone is that it’s a dual slide. As in sliding the lower part gets you the keypad and the upper half has all the options for the camera. The pictures and video clips can be viewed in the landscape mode. There’s also Video recording where you can record videos at a speed of 20fps. I discovered something new in this phone and that was a cute little stand. Perched on this stand the mobile gives you a good view of all the images and clips. The front VGA is as of now dormant, at least till the 3G technology is launched in our country.
Its quiet obvious that a phone of this range will be internet enabled but what comes as a pleasant surprise is that it downloads data pretty fast. You can view full pages and the screen is large enough to allow a good read, without squinting. The design is also sleek, though it could have been a bit slimmer.
With a perfect balance in music and camera features, this phone has left other smart phones far behind.

HTC Touch Diamond

Want a mobile phone that has class and substance ???Then you need to grab the HTC touch Diamond.
With most of the gizmo freaks, this handset is quite a favorite, and for a good reason. I checked out this handset from top to bottom and was quite impressed with what I saw. Here are a few features that deserve a mention.

Camera
The phone has two different cameras. The front VGA camera is quite useless as of now, since video calling is yet not available in India, but the 3.15 MP camera makes up for that. At 2048x1536 pixels, it has auto focus and video recording. The images delivered beautiful. Though, with the absence of LED flash, photography is restricted to day light.
Window Professional 6.1 and browsing

The phone runs Window Professional 6.1, which help you with your office work. Also you can browse the web, view full pages, download data and as the phone is a touch screen you can do all this really easily. The phone has been marketed as a business phone and it deserves the tag. This device also connects you to your office via emails.

The stylus is also unique. The moment you take it out the phone wakes up from the sleep mode. Inserting the stylus is also effortless, as it is magnetic, so smoothly slips in.

The MP3 player combined with the 4 GB memory delivers brilliant performance.
With the touch screen, MP3 player and web browsing feature, comparison of this phone with the iPhone is inevitable. For a closer look at this phone and other phones of this category, log on to
