The specs of all the phones are not officially out, but in brief the Karbonn K111, K11 and K514 fall in the multimedia category while the Karbonn K550i, K424, K343, K316, are music phones.

After Nokia 5235 (8k retail price), the next best Symbian touch device is X6 which retails for 15k, and it doesn’t really justify the 14k+ price tag.

When compared to 5800XM (which it is going to replace), C5-03 has:

• thinner and lighter and better looking build
• faster 3G
• better processing speed

• less onboard memory
• no proximity sensor

Playstation Phone Details Leak

More details about the Playstation Phone from Sony Ericsson have leaked. The details were leaked to Mobile Crunch who heard that the Playstation Phone was very real. A few other details mentioned about the device include the screen being on par with the iPhone 4 retina display perhaps with some BRAVIA technology being pushed in there by Sony. We also hear that the device is nowhere near ready and that it might be ready for February to be launched at Mobile World Congress.
Other information reveals that the price tag will be somewhere around the $500 mark (unsubsidized). This price tag will see the device have around 5 games that come with the unit. Other games are expected to be sub $10 perhaps pushed through the Android Market.
Z-System has been confirmed as being real and perhaps could be the way games are distributed although that depends on games being pushed through the Android Market. It isn't full clear what this part of the system will do.
Apparently the Mobile Crunch tipster was impressed and said that it's the best gaming on a mobile device he has seen.
Certainly interesting stuff!

Simplest Cellphone in the world

When handset manufacturers are vying to create most advanced and sophisticated handsets, there's a small company in dutch that is striving for the exact opposite. Yes, their mission is to create the world's simplest phone!

The amsterdam-based dutch advertising agency called John Doe has created a most basic cell phone under the brand John's Mobiles. The handset allows you to make and receive phone calls. That's it! No frills. No camera, no mp3, no video, no facebook and nothing else...



The handset is a quad-band phone which allows it to work across the globe. The phone has a single ringtone with 3 levels of volume. Fortunately, the phone vibrates! They have gone to such extent that the phone does not even has an address-book. The address book is a paper and pen both of which are housed on the backside. The battery is good with a capacity of 1200mAH with a standby time of more than 3 weeks. The phone can be charged through adapter or through USB cable. Thankfully, the phone can house 10 speed-dial numbers. One set of earphones is provided to enable hands-free calling. Since the phone is manufactured with high-quality plastic it is resilient and water-resistant.

Simple On-off buttons and Volume controls

It's not without a reason this gadget is called 'anti-Phone'. The phone comes in 5 colour choices and will cost 59-67 pounds. This is targetted towards the older generation who wants to keep things simple and who are overwhelmed with today's technology!

Colour choices


"At a time when there is an abundance of choices and oppressive channels, we wanted to develop a simple gadget," the Sun quoted the phone's designer, Diedriekje Bok, as saying. Interesting viewpoint.
