Interesting facts about Mobile phones in India

As the spread of mobile increases, it makes you wonder about the fine line between what is perceived as luxury and necessity.

One mobile – Necessity

Two mobiles – Luxury

No Mobiles – Happiness

On 17th January 2009, the TDSAT (Telecom Disputes Settlement & Appellate Tribunal) held a Seminar in Pune on the topic Disputes resolution in Telecom & Broadcast from where certain interesting facts about Mobile phones emerged.

• India has 374 million telephone lines
  
• Off this 336 million are Mobiles!
  
• 336 million Mobiles are distributed amongst 250 million GSM and 36 million CDMA
  
• Around 10 million mobile lines are added every month
  
• It is estimated that India will have 500 million mobile lines by 2010.
  

No wonder India is considered by many as the fastest growing mobile market in the world.

Indian Government asks Operators to ban Chinese and Korean Handsets without IMEI

The DOT of Department of Telecom has asked all Operators to ban handsets without a legitimate IMEI number on January 6th.

This directive comes as a fight against terror as these handsets are being used by terrorists as they do not have an IMEI number in them.There are as many as 25 million unbranded handsets imported from China and Korea that are believed to be on the knife’s edge.

They have asked operators to block mobiles with fake IMEI numbers like all zeroes .

The Indian Government has postponed the previous deadline for Operators from 6th January 2009 to March 31 2009.

So be careful when purchasing these Chinese or other imported handsets ..

You might even be questioned by the authorities .

Gen X choose functionality over looks

India will soon become a Nation of mobile users. The steadily increasing mobile using population expands due to the ever increasing usage by the youth. A recently completed IDC study confirms that mobile users perceive they derive one of the following sets of benefits from using mobile phones – safety and security, productivity and convenience, or style and status. We spoke to a few from Gen X to find out what their mobiles do for them and what handset models are popular.

Kunal who is a student of Class Xi owns a Nokia 6085. This flip phone has a FM Radio that Kunal really likes. He also likes the look of the handset. To him, it is just a way of keeping in touch with his friends.

Amit has a Nokia 6030 is a handset that supports 10 Indian languages and is an unpretentious handset that has easy-to-use functions. He has opted for BSNL as his service provider because he claims, “Government service is the best.” His mobile is useful to keep in touch with his friends.

Hulsi on the other hand has a functional Reliance handset that she prefers because, “it has excellent coverage.” To her, the mobile gives a feeling of security when she is out with friends or is stranded after a class.

Hanging out in a Mall in the middle of the afternoon, these bunch of students who were clearly bunking classes agreed in unison that the looks of the mobile is important but as long as they sustain on a shoe string pocket money paid by their parents, they would rather opt for simple handsets.

In a study recently conducted it was found that males, more than females, rate style and status as important mobile phone benefits while females regard safety and security as more valuable. Prateek exemplifies these findings. He would like to own a Nokia N 73, which at a price tag of Rs 12,000 approximately is something his dad could buy, but he can’t.

Ajay who is a BA student at a leading city college would like to a Nokia N series, “because it looks so cool. But I have to wait till I start earning,” he rues.

While convenience stands on top of the benefits of the mobile for these youngsters, they are also style and status conscious, pocket permitting!!

Sony Ericsson W302... the extremely compact bar

The lil star of the day is the clean-cut Sony Ericsson W302. The extremely compact bar is distinguished by its minimalist design with solid build and brushed metal panels.

Sony Ericsson W302 official images

Coming with a good deal of Walkman skill and a nice camera interface, the W302 might turn a great success if tagged with the right price. It feels great to handle and, despite a few beta stage issues, did manage a good impression.

Sony Ericsson W902 (The first 5 megapixel Walkman)

Sony Ericsson W902 is quite understandably the handset to create the biggest hype. The first 5 megapixel Walkman takes a bold Cybershot-meets-Wseries stand, much to the delight of Sony Ericsson devotees. Walkmans have so far been below-par in terms of imaging (save for the W800 back in the day), forcing upon users the dreadful choice between a good camera and good music package.

Sony Ericsson W902 official images

Sony Ericsson W902 is a tough challenge for the current Walkman flagship W980. The newbie has a better camera, card slot, screen auto rotation and ships with 8GB M2 cards against the FM transmitter, touch-sensitive music controls and 8GB of built-in storage of W980. All in all, the choice between the two boils down to your personal priorities and taste.

Nokia 3120 classic review: Mid-range fighter

Even if every little Nokia wants to be an N95 when it grows up, most of them end up a decent looking gadget with a neat little perk here and there to top the good old calling and texting. Nokia 3120 classic is just another one of them mixed by the time-tested recipe - do the bare minimum but do it right. Now, the notion of bare necessities in mobile phones is stretching as we speak, so no wonder yet another 3G-enabled junior gets thrown in the midrange skirmish.

Key features:

• 2" 16M-color QVGA display
• 2 megapixel camera with LED flash
• S40 user interface
• Compact and lightweight
• Quad-band GSM support
• 3G network support, video-call
• Bluetooth and USB connectivity
• Stereo FM radio
• microSD card slot, microSDHC support
• Very good battery
• 2.5mm standard audio jack
• Rich preinstalled content

Main disadvantages:

• Slow camera and unimpressive image quality
• Uncomfortable battery cover latch
• Weak backlighting
• Memory card slot under the battery cover

Nokia 3120 classic is going for a piece of the midrange action and it's getting a run for its money both inside the Nokia family and from competing manufacturers. Let's have a quick look at some of the potentially bitter rivalries shaping up. It's a mixed bag and we're looking at the plenty of choice you get for Rs.7,500/- or less.

Main Competitors:

• A golden oldie, Nokia 6233 support microSD cards up to 2GB, while the 3120 classic can easily handle 8GB cards.

• Nokia 5300 is another money-saving alternative. but it's larger and has neither 3G nor quad-band GSM, but packs in the same fine 2" QVGA screen and costs a good Rs. 2,500/- less.

• Nokia 6300, which is slimmer but again lacks 3G and support for high capacity memory cards.

• The ultra slim slider Samsung U700 retails for about the same price. However, it packs a 3 megapixel camera, larger screen, HSDPA and slimmer.

• Samsung D900i goes even easier on the wallet but drops 3G. It saves you about Rs. 1,500/- and gives you one of the good 3 megapixel cameras on the market. So if you are not all about 3G or the S40 UI, you might just have yourself a deal.

• Samsung E590. The minimalist design signed by Jasper Morrison and the sweet size might just be enough to steal some market share. 3 megapixel autofocus camera and a saving worth 3000/- are its key advantages over the 3120 classic. On the other hand, the fast data transfers and the QVGA screen swapped for EDGE and a square 220 x 220 pixel display don't sound as tempting.

• Sony Ericsson K770. With 3G, a nice 3 megapixel autofocus camera and a cool display, it seems to have all the odds in its favor. The only disadvantage is that its screen is slightly reduced to 1.9 inches. Having the same price as the 3120 classic it looks better.

• The fashion-savvy sleek looks of Sony Ericsson S500. The slider is virtually identical to Nokia 3120 classic (save for 3G). The problem with S500 is the numerous complaints about its keypad durability.

• bar Sony Ericsson W880. It only has a 1.8" display but that is the sole difference to the 3120 classic. However, it ships with a 1GB memory card and costs less than the Nokia. Furthermore, it's much slimmer and it does look nicer than the 3120 classic.
