Spice Mobile

Spice POPKORN comes with stylized spelling and a built-in projector

Spice Mobility has taken an astonishing decision to slap-ina “pocket sized projector” in their new phone, which has been aptly dubbed POPKORN. Pocket-size it may be, but from what we know about projecting images, it can be quite power-hungry. What’s more, the phone also has a built-in TV tuner albeit with limited support. Lastly, the phone ships with a tripod stand for when the phone when it is in projection mode and a laser-pointer for when it is in serious mode. 

The rest of the specifications are quite ordinary in comparison, which includes a 3.2MP camera, QVGA screen and a FM Tuner. SpicePOPKORN is available in Indian retail for Rs. 6, 699.

Worlds collide: Nokia adds touch-screens on classic handsetsWorlds collide: Nokia adds touch-screens on classic handsets

Referred to by Nokia as best of both worlds, the Finnish cell-phone manufacturers have released two handsets mixes classic key-based input with contemporary touch-screen interface. The company decided to release these models based on a survey conducted by them revealed a desire among Nokia users for such a phone.

The two new models in discussion are Nokia X3 - 02 and Nokia C3 – 01, priced at Rs. 8, 839 and Rs. 9, 389, respectively. The related press-release that we received was not accompanied by a complete spec sheet. However, referring to specs posted on GSM Arena, the only difference we could spot between the two models is that NOKIA C3-01 comes with 64MB of system RAM and a LED flash. Besides these couple of differences, the two models are virtually identical as their price-tags suggest. The Nokia X3 - 02 and Nokia C3 – 01, both have 2.4” TFT resistive touch-screen and support for communication over 3G and Wi-Fi networks, in addition to GSM and Bluetooth.
