omnia_II.JPGAfter launching its Symbian based Omnia HD in India, Samsung has launched the Omnia II in India. Though it is called Omnia II-GT I8000 it is the little brother of Omnia HD in terms of specs and also the price. Omnia HD is priced at INR 32K where as Omnia II is priced around INR 28K in India. Latest technology and easy to use messaging platform are two things, which Samsung Omnia II boasts of. Unlike Omnia HD, its runs Windows Mobile 6.1, which can be a turn-off for people who do not like WinMo as an Operating System. Motion enabled Omnia II comes with 3D photo Album, Video library, Music library, Browser bookmarks and FM Radio UI. The phone's highlights that will help it in attracting mobile users is its 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS with A-GPS support, 5 meg snapper with geotagging, face detection and smile detection, 8GB internal memory with microSD card support, Bluetooth with A2DP support, FM with RDS. It misses the HD features of the Omnia HD. When it comes to Indian market, mobile buyers are driven by price and at this price point Samsung Omnia II will find takers only in metro and Tier I cities.

3G Auction in India to Start on 14th Jan 2009

Posted: 27 Oct 2009 01:21 AM PDT

India's much delayed 3G spectrum auction has now got a date from Department of Telecommunications. The auction was supposed to take place long time back but got delayed time and again. December 2009 was the month when it was going to happen but it got pushed to Jan 2010 and now it will be finally happening on 14th Jan 2009. The December auction was delayed by Defence due to some spectrum related issues. There will be a practice run couple of days before the actual auction takes place and Government must be happy as they are anticipating to raise almost $5.4 billion from the 3G auction. WiMax and Radio spectrum auctions would take place after the 3G auction is over. According to DoT website 21st December is the last date for applications for companies who are planning to take this auctions. India's neighbours like China and Japan are way ahead in terms of mobile technology and the delay in 3G auction has been a complete turn-off for mobile users as well as companies who are planning to get into the 3G race. There are already 100s of 3G enabled phones in the Indian market and 3G technology needs to be present in India ASAP so that mobile users can fully exploit the potential of their 3G enabled phones. All the details of the auction can be found in this 163 pager PDF.
