NOKIA panics as a minor software glitch hits its flagship LUMINA 800

 Nokia has identified a software glitch in some units of its Lumia 800 and offered to replace the handsets of affected users within a week of the Windows-based smartphone's high-profile launch in the country.

"India impact will be minimal since we just started shipping," a Nokia India spokeswoman said. The glitch prevents the handset from accessing full battery capacity and Nokia said it can be fixed with a software update that it will release early next year, but critics see it as a major setback to the Finnish giant's efforts to defend its leadership in the smartphone market under threat from Samsung.

Nokia had unleashed its biggestever marketing blitz to promote Lumia , its first Windows-based smar tphone, which many analysts called a make-or-break product for the world's largest handset maker. An expert said this will impact brand Nokia. "An amazing glitch after an amazing marketing campaign ," he said, requesting anonymity . "Already under fire, this battery issue would come as a New Year gift for its rivals."

X-BOX 360(Game console)

Now that people in India have come out of their busy schedule for some entertainment, and also given the fact that digital gadgets are finding place in every household , I think it would help all you people planning to buy or know about this beautiful gadget.First of all , its capabilities , Im not going into the specs as i know you'll get on every site, so it can play DVDs i.e. even movies,songs,and offcourse games. It has support for USB,HDMI,WiFi,etc. You can get one around Rs.14,500(revised price is Rs.13,700).

NOKIA N900- My best gadget

Hi all its been a long since i have written an entry here, btw I almost left my hobby of blogging. But now I am back and what made me come back is this cute gaint gadget the N900.
It is one of the best gadget (or call it the smartest phone) produced by NOKIA. It packs in a punch with it. For the people still unaware of its features here is a dosier.
First thing is that it has an LINUX OS codenamed MAEMO which is a bit different from the usuall phones.Secondly you name a feature and N900 has it all, be it IR,inbuilt drive,BT,camera,etc.But its nothing special, all phones do come with these features, dont they? The punch line of this beast is yet to follow, so read on. ANDROID has become a craze amoung the smartphone users. And each brand is bringing out the best features using this platform, and already popular OSes like WEBOS of PALM and iOS of iPhone are doing good. Now why should i mention all these OSes unwantedly in a topic which is not related by any means. Think again its related , because this beast is capable of running all these OSes in a jiffy. And the best part is that you can boot multiOS. Now thats awesome isnt it, you get a palm , android , Linux all the OSes in a single machine. The suckerpunch is that it also runs WINDOWS XP.

Thought of buying those shinny geek look mobile phones you saw in a bond movie but not sure of the specifications and model and where to buy . Stop and have a rush to this website, as this website has literally got it all, starting from the model specs to the price and also the sites where you can get hot deals on the item. Besides mobile phones the site also has relative information on laptops and LCD\Plasma tv's. Now to real deal to what i was after . First I hit to the site and found various tabs on the top of the home page and the newest deals available filled up the rest. I clicked on to the mobile Phones tab and got of to meddle with some of the features of the site. The vendor which you want to choose can be selected from the top left . And it has almost all the available models in the Indian market . I set on to search a sony ericsson phone. The search specs are quite innovative , the price range can be chosen using a slider and all your basic phone needs can be clicked on . The results are displayed in a zippy. And almost all the information that you need about your mobile phone is displayed along with the cost . At the bottom of the screen they have also managed to pull out the hot offers for the particular product from the likes of storeguru.com and similar online shops. The only pain rather which made me upset with this amazing site was that I couldn't find more than 25 models when I searched for a sony ericsson mobile phone in the 0-15k price range . Whereas there are actually 200 or more models from the company in this price for Indian market. Sad but overall the site was a helpful one , and this thing also will get addressed as time goes on. Another nifty feature is that you can compare to model from two different vendors side by side. On the whole,the data provided by the site is dependable and reliable.
