Today numerous of domestic mobile brands have launched the many dual sim mobile phones in the sub - Rs 5, 000 category. So now the market leader Nokia is also focusing on the dual sim mobile phones to meet the current demand of the consumers.

Fortunately, the telecom giant Nokia has launched its first dual sim mobile phones in India. They all from Nokia C series and this series are not at all new for us.

The company aims to make high quality mobiles highly affordable to all and plans to target the youth crowd with it’s range of handsets. The 4 models launched were Alice, Blink, Tango and Cyborg.

Mr. Takeshi Mori, General Manager, Sharp Corporation said, “A huge amount of research has gone into the making of these handsets. We had to strike a fine balance between what would work with the Indian consumers and how we can offer that extra edge that Sharp brings to its product offerings.”

These Sharp phones have features such as G-Sensor, LED illumination, Bluetooth, FM radio, Dual SIM facility, easy camera shot etc and come in interesting form factors such as the cycloid phone, 180 degrees rotating displays and the usual clamshell

Mr. Sunil K. Sinha, Managing Director, Sharp Business Systems (India) Limited said, “Sharp’s new handsets are in sync with the company’s history of innovation and commitment towards bringing quality products to life. The Sharp handsets symbolize our pioneering technological advancement and continued focus on R&D, and these would prove to be revolutionary in enhancing the mobile user experience, especially with the advent of 3G Network Services in India. We bring the same degree of quality commitment to the mobile business and assure our consumers of cutting-edge technology that will delight them in all ways including the form factor and one-of-a-kind service response.”

Mr. Kishlay Ray, General Manager – Marketing, Sharp Business Systems (India) Limited said that Sharp already enjoyed a high brand recall in India when it comes to business solutions. But this is the first time the company is tapping the a consumer segment. The Sharp handsets have been modeled keeping in mind the youth between the age group of 16 – 30 years in urban and semi-urban cities, who are stylish, on the move, confident, vivacious and above all want value for money. “Over the next six months we will be coming up with various offers and ideas to keep the brand name top-of-mind in the consumers’ minds.” he said

The company has not revealed the price of the phones although it is claiming to be price-conscious . The handsets are expected to hit the market later this year. Looks like another player trying to cash in on the 3G roll out in the country. We would love to have one of those cyborgs please !

Top Five Mostly Used Mobile Phones in India

Mobile phones are becoming part of a person's life. Back in late 90's, mobile phone was a luxury and only "Rich" people could afford it but now time has changed and even the tea stall owner or rickshaw driver can afford a mobile phone. I think to have a mobile phone in India is now a necessity.

India is pumping millions of mobile subscribers every month and now I think India has more mobile subscribers than landlines. So what mobile phones are popular in India?

Recently, Opera released a report for Opera Mini revealing the top 10 sites accessed from cell phones and also, the top 10 handsets used for accessing the sites. Here’s the list of the top 5 mobile phones used in India as per Opera Mini’s report for June 2008 –
  • Nokia N70
  • Nokia N73
  • Nokia 6233
  • Nokia 6600
  • Nokia 3110c
As you can see, only Nokia handsets are in the top 5 and this shows the dominance of Nokia in Indian market. That being said, these five phones are equipped with a number of basic features. These five phones are also available at reasonable prices and maybe this is the reason why they are so popular among Indian users.

Indian Railways to launch mobile phone ticketing app

Indian Railways has announced they are developing a mobile ticketing application for mobile phones.

The application will be available to download onto a mobile phone and tickets will be sent by text message.

Anyone using the app would have to carry proof of identification but will no longer have to queue for tickets at stations.

Passengers in rural areas of India often have to purchase tickets from a travel agency, where they can often be sold at higher prices.


This new form of ticket purchasing could make the railways much more accessible to those who live in rural areas, away from a main station where tickets aren’t sold.

Individuals will need to be registered on the IRCTC’s Online Passenger Reservation System in order to reserve tickets.

Indian Railways say they are not looking to increase ticket prices.
