Google’s Nexus One smartphone is already being sold in different locations around the world, but so far not in India. It has now been reported that Google is planning a launch of a ’scaled down’ version of the Nexus One for the Indian market.
Currently details havent been release, but im sure the price would hopefully reflect the market and also the specs. There is a very big mobile phone market in India which is dominated by Nokia and Blackberry.
The original Nexus One features 5 megapixel camera with auto focus and LED flash, 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen, 512MB Flash along with a 4GB microSD slot, video recording at 20 frames per second and numerous Google services such as Gmail, Google Search etc.
For all that’s in the air for now, a report suggests that the new Nexus One for India will have a 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen and Snapdragon processor but with a downgraded memory and Camera. Now, let’s wait and watch if Google really makes a hit on this one.

To download, simply point your current mobile browser to m.opera.com/next.

The Mobile World Congress will be held in Barcelona this year and just in a few days more: February the 15th. And it is almost confirmed that Windows Mobile 7 will be presented to the community, taking a good overview of the incoming features.
For the rumors that leaked already, seems that it will have important enhancements (regarding with interoperability mostly) and some other similarities with other mobile OS. Let’s take a quick look:
- The UI will be quite similar that we’ve seen in Zune HD, with a few changes to be confirmed.
- Full Zune and XBOX integration.
- Full support with Facebook and other social networking mobile apps.
- Windows Mobile Device Center: No more. All of the sync options will be replaced by Zune software.
- No multi-task support. Here comes the first similarity with iPhone OS; the applications will be paused while working in background.
- No Flash support. Hmmm… seems that I’ve seen this before.
- Applications will not be available to install by a separate storage. The only possibility to install applications will be using the “MarketPlace”. No, no “AppStore”, the name is “MarketPlace”.
- MarketPlace will have a very cool option: “Try before you buy”.
- There will be no support for OEM Interfaces. That means Sense UI, SPB Mobile Shell, Point UI, Infinity, and many others will not be allowed.
- Release date: September 2010.
Nokia has added a new predictive text dictionary to Nokia S60 phones. Nokia has just rolled out the Nokia Custom Dictionary beta app.
This new application pretty much does what it says on the tin and adds the predictive text option to your phone. The app allows you to scan text files to import words or import words from xml file. It also lets you transfer your Custom Dictionary from one Nokia phone to another.
The app supports various Nokia S60 3rd and 5th edition smartphones including Nokia E71, Nokia E63, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and Nokia X6. It will also work with other Nokia E-Series phones but you may encounter some minor and yet neglible issues. While for older Nokia N-Series phones such as N96, N95, N79, N78 and N82, the app may have limited functionality.
Whichever Nokia smartphone you have, you need to download the by logging in to your Nokia Beta Labs account and download the app from here.
After downloading and installing the app on your Nokia handset, you can start “teaching” your smartphone commonly used words or even create specific word lists that you can share to other Nokia smartphone users and together you can all start buiding a custom dictionary of terms for your Nokia smartphones.
You may download the app here.
The world of smart phones is flourishing. With that prosperity comes the smart phone wars with each rival manufacturer trying to get their share of the market. The main players are companies like Apple, Nokia and of course, Microsoft.
The Windows mobile range has been around for many years – originally as black and white PAs then eventually catching up with Blackberry. But their technology has become dated and has only ever been modified and given updates – now Microsoft say they’re recoding their entire thing and hope to get WinMo 7 out in the world by September.
They say that they’re working towards finalizing the coding for Win 7.0.0 by the summer months. LG have recently leaked that they will be launching a Windows 7 mobile phone in September, so this is starting to look very promising indeed.
In reality though, it’s about time Microsoft caught up. This overhaul is long over due and I’m sure it will be massively anticipated as September approaches.
BYG received some exclusive iPhone OS 4.0 details from one of our trusty Apple connects.
Here are some iPhone OS 4.0 features, according to our guy:
- There will be multi-touch gestures OS-wide. (Would make sense for that as the rumored OS for the iTablet is close if not the same as the iPhone)
- “A few new ways” to run applications in the background — multitasking.
- Many graphical and UI changes to make navigating through the OS easier and more efficient. We haven’t had this broken down, but we can only hope for improved notifications, a refreshed homescreen, etc.
- The update will supposedly be available for only the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but will “put them ahead in the smartphone market because it will make them more like full-fledged computers” more than any other phone to date. Everyone is “really excited.”
- The last piece of information is the most vague, but apparently there will be some brand new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.
Engadget is reporting about the HTC Sprint WiMax ‘Supersonic’ mobile phone.
Features:
- Android based mobile running Android 2.1 with HTC’s Sense UI
- 4.3 inch screen and “svelte shell”.
While word is that it is fast, and Snapdragon has been speculated, the new rumors don’t confirm the specific processor used inside. Since the software is still in its early stages, it doesn’t appear that the new handset will be offered any time soon. Unfortunately, no release date details–rough or otherwise–are available.
As far as aesthetics, the Supersonic was seen in white, but may come in a variety of colors. It will also feature a kickstand on back to allow for convenient upright use.
That’s all the details that have been offered, but they definitely help to paint a promising picture as we work our way to 4G.
