Nokia 603 is now available online in India at LetsBuy for Rs 14,285. For now, the smartphone is only available in Black color. It was announced a few months ago by the Finnish giant and is based on the Nokia Belle Operating System (earlier known as the Symbian Belle). The Nokia 603 offers a 3.5-inch (640 x 360 pixels) ClearBlack display, offers six home screens and comes with six swappable rear covers in a variety of colors.

The Micromax A85 Superfone will be now available for Rs. 15,290, instead of the earlier Rs. 19,990. The move comes after LG Optimus 2X and Samsung Galaxy R had their prices dropped to around the Rs. 20,000 mark. The surprise element is the amount of price cut (Rs. 4,700), which now makes it perhaps the world’s cheapest dual-core handset. Micromax has used a motion sensor to power an exciting user interface and is expected to get Android 2.3 Gingerbread pretty soon. The Superfone A85 sports a 3.8-inch capaci...

It has been over a month now that I have been using the Motorola XOOM, which is at the moment (but not for long) the only comparable alternative to Apple’s iPad. I have used it through its early days when the microSD card slot won’t work (Android 3.0) to its most recent update that brought Android 3.1 and lots of new features with it. The tablet with a 10.1-inch widescreen display promises a lot hardware-wise and most of it works too. But will it be able to replace my iPad 2 as my primary tablet? ...

After multiple delays (it was originally planned for a mid-June launch), Samsung will finally take the wraps off its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in India on August 10, multiple sources have confirmed. Boasting a 10.1-inch display, the new Tab runs on Android Honeycomb (we’d like to believe it to be Android 3.1), an nVIDIA Tegra 2 processor clocked at 1GHz, 1GB of RAM with 16/32/64 GB variants for internal storage and dual cameras (3.0MP on the rear and 2.0 MP on the front). The Tab 10.1 is marginally slimmer than t...

An unannounced Nokia Symbian S40 handset with a 1GHz processor and 512MB RAM has been spotted in the wild. The folks at GSM Arena have reported that the handset in question is Nokia C3-01.5, which is apparently the first S40 phone based on the new specs. While the specs have been upgraded, there are no significant changes in the looks department. The handset (refer to the image above) still looks like its previous version- the Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type. Nokia is also rumored to be working on a few other phon...

A couple of weeks ago, I got a chance to play with the Samsung Galaxy S II for a few minutes. Even in those 10 or probably 15 minutes, I could feel it was snappier than most Android smartphones I have used. Transitions from one homescreen to another were fluid and apps would open without the customary two-three seconds lag. I found myself marveling at it just like the first time I hopped on to an HSPA+ network a couple of years ago after years of being accustomed to pathetic EDGE speeds. Of course it would, t...
