Jump after the break for a summary of the major points.
It is raining Motorola handsets in India.
If you are considering upgrading your old Ming A1200 handset .. the time has come !
After the recent launch of the ROKR EM30 has come MOTOMING A1600
Motorola has always been selling touchscreen phones . Now this Ming brings one more handset to the Touchscreen phone battleground
Stylish and sleek would define the new AURA by Motorola. (Yes…finally a handset that looks different from the box type iPhones and Nokias!)
Discerning feature:
The AURA has the FIRST EVER circular LCD display with colours and 300 dpi resolution and a Grade 1, 62-carat sapphire crystal lens.
Encased in stainless steel housing, the AURA has textures and patterns chemically etched into its surface. The Swiss-made main bearing, gears composed of Rockwell 50-55 hardened steel and 130 precision ball bearings work in tandem to drive the assisted-opening blade. Motorola likens the effect to that of opening a luxury car door rather than accessing a mobile device. Its custom-engineered rotating mechanism is composed of more than 200 high-precision individual parts, and the gears are protected from harsh conditions with the same coatings used in high-performance racing engines.
Motorola ROKR EM30 was recently launched in India.
Specs & features at a glance:
• 2-inch TFT display
• 2MP camera
• Media player
• FM radio with RDS
• microSD card support (up to 8GB)

If you never tried upgrading your software before, then chances are you have WM5 if you own these handsets: Continue reading “Still Running WM5 On Your HTC? Upgrade Before October 31st!”

Up until now, the non-removable battery of the iPhone was just an issue that some some people pointed out as a serious problem and Apple just ignored. But it is likely to become much more significant now, due to a new legislation in the Netherlands. According to Tweakers.net (dutch text), this new law forbids selling any electronic device with a non-removable or hard to remove battery, due to recycling difficulties. Also, any electronic device should have clearly stated in its manual a way to remove the battery. T-Mobile, Netherlands’ iPhone carrier, should still be able to sell its stock of iPhone handsets, but imports of new devices will be forbidden.

The Verizon-exclusive Motorola ZN4 that was leaked a few days ago has just been made official. It’s a CDMA handset (ie no SIM card) and features the full touchscreen glass-flip design we told you about earlier. It’ll retail around the 150$. Even though this handset won’t make it outside of Verizon, it’s a sign that Motorola are working on touchscreen handsets, and the ZN4 might be the first result of these efforts. We’ll keep an eye on the ZN4 to see how the OS actually performs, in order to predict whether their following touchscreen handsets will be worthwhile or not.
Specifications after the break:
The “Google phone” – HTC T-Mobile G1 is being shipped as you read this.
The device is, of course, the first official device running on the Android platform. There were reports of about one million of the handsets on pre order. Their wait is finally over it seems.
The handset is currently locked in to T-Mobile. There is no word on the India launch or announcement of the carrier. Read Fonearena’s coverage of the same here.
3G Mobile Blog reports that Sony Ericsson has announced the new 8.1 megapixel Cyber-shot 905 phone will come preloaded with Mobile Commerce’s innovative ‘NearMe’ application – so you can always find exactly what you’re looking for right around you. It will also be available for download onto the GPS enabled C702 Cyber-shot and W760 Walkman handsets.
‘NearMe’ is a local search service that provides users with detailed information on local businesses, amenities, venues and events, all based on current location using the GPS capabilities of the user’s handset.

There is a lot you can do with your Nokia N78. The Sports Tracker is just one of them.
With the Sports Tracker you can map your activity (such as cycling, walking, driving, running etc) through the GPS and position it on Nokia Map. While the activity is ‘on’ you can take pictures that will get tagged on to your route.
This amazing feature will allow you to track your movement in any part of the world on a map (all the while noting details such as speed, altitude, latitude, longitude etc) that you can share with your friends and even other travel enthusiasts such as yourself.
The Sports Tracker therefore is your very own, personal travel map with a photo album thrown in! It is just AMAZING!!!!
Watch the videos to understand the expanse of this feature that Nokia offers ‘simply’ without too much publicity and grandeur.
