| DoT Extends Deadline of Barring Mobile Phone with Fake IMEI Number Posted: 15 Jan 2009 04:48 AM PST DoT (Department of Telecommunication) of India is now all set to tighten their hands around the neck of 25 million mobile phones in India that have fake or no IMEI number. The deadline of Jan 6 has now been extended to April 15. The previous deadline was ignored by the mobile service provider but now DoT has made it clear that, if any mobile service provider does not adhere to the new deadline, they would not be allowed take any new subscribers after the deadline. The recent terrorist attacks on India have seen massive changes in the country's security infrastructure and barring Chinese mobile phones with fake or no IMEI numbers is one of the measure that the government is taking. Such phones are one of the favorite gadgets of terrorists and anti-social elements and DoT has now pulled up its socks to fight against them along with other security forces. Loosing 25 million subscribers would certainly hit hard the mobile service providers but they also need to keep the country's security in mind. [Via: PCWorld India] |
| User Review 2: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Posted: 14 Jan 2009 09:51 PM PST
Ashr from the Techenclave Forum got hold of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic for Rs. 16,000. Dont be surprised, the price has not gone down but he exchanged it for his old phone. Anyway, it seems that he is not much satisfied with the touch screen interface of Nokia 5800 and compares it with that of the iPhone's. Here is what he has to say about the touch screen of the Nokia 5800,"i am very disappointed with the touch screen and the interface. it's a huge letdown if you compare it with say, an iphone. now, i haven't used a nokia phone in 4 years. my last one was 6630 which i loved but i've been squatting at the SE camp after that. my major gripe is that i've always used phones with only my right hand with the thumb punching in keys. the only thing i can get away with like this is making/receiving calls and pressing large buttons on the main menu. text input with my thumb is really awkward as i push the wrong letters very often. i didn't have this problem with the iphone. the touch screen is responsive yes but not enough. i can hold the phone with one hand and scroll through my contacts list with my thumb. it's a glide... on the way down. going up seems really hard. it also took me a while to get used to single and double clicks." He syas that te stylus does not come out smoothly and one has to struggel with it. Even in the comments section of the Techencalve post you will see some other user cribbing about the stylus. Nokia, are you reading this, if yes, then you need to do something about the stylus not coming out smoothly.Head over to the post and read what Ashr and other who have bought the phone have to say about the newest Nokia touch screen on the block. Head over to read one more review from a Nokia 5800 user. |

Nokia recently announced its new phone for the elite, the Nokia 8800 Arte Gold. As the name suggests this phone features 18 carat gold plating, premium leather and stainless steel parts. This phone belongs to the gadget arsenal of the elite. Apart from this, the phone's slider mechanism works on precision ball bearings. Being a metallic phone, you might think that this one's a finger print magnet but now worries, Nokia has coated the phone with anti-finger print coating, which will reduce the smudges on your phone. Rest of the features include 3.2 mega pixel auto focus snapper with 4GB internal memory. The phone will be available in the year 2009. But hey wait, this phone won't be available in the whole wide world, Nokia will be launching it only in the select few markets of South East Asia. This is not the first gold Arte, | You are subscribed to email updates from Not Another Mobile Phone Blog To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
