Motorola is in talks with all Indian telecom service providers to launch iSIM, which is a flexible wafer that can be attached to the original SIM, allowing the user to access four numbers on the same handset.

Motorola's iSIM is based on a flexible wafer that can be attached to the subscriber's original SIM providing additional services that can be controlled via SIM tool kit (STK) allowing third party developers to build applications and services.

Motorola iSIM (intelligent SIM) is a flexible and powerful platform that helps mobile operators and enterprises to enable mobile lifestyle experiences effectively and efficiently. iSIM empowers service providers with ease, flexibility and freedom to implement compelling end-user applications services in a cost-effective manner and to drive adoption.

The unique 15-digit International Mobile Subscriber Identity is found on SIM cards and Motorola iSIM approves four of IMSI numbers. Motorola iSIM also bids enormous user-friendly apps like 'Killer SMS' that led the mobile to get blocked or reset when it is lost or stolen. The users who will use IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), can switch between different phone numbers provisioned to different networks, or the same network, without changing SIMs.

Motorola has already deployed the iSIM platform in Europe, Middle East, Africa and now is in talks with Indian operators for deployment in India. Thanks to Motorola, smartphone users will soon be able to use up to four phone numbers in a single handset, without even having to buy a multi-SIM one.

Mobiado Launched CPT001: Concept Luxury Mobile Phone

Monday, April 12, 2010 Posted by John 1 comments
The CPT001, both an objet d'art and a phone concept, highlights the creativity of Mobiado. With its long and prestigious history of being innovative, Mobiado is considered the hallmark of some of the most famous mobile phones ever created. With these creations we have written some of the most important chapters in the history of luxury mobile phones:

• 2004: The Professional was the first CNC machined phone to be created from aircraft aluminum.
• 2005: The Professional EM was the first exotic wood phone to be produced.
• 2007: The Luminoso was the first phone to use sapphire crystal buttons and the first 3G luxury phone.
• 2008: The Professional 105ZAF was the first phone to have its entire front and back created from sapphire crystal…the Professional 105GMT was the first mechanical watch phone.
• 2009: The Grand 350PRL was the first 3.5G and full keyboard luxury phone, and the first phone to use mother of pearl...and the Grand 350 Pione

Mobiado is consistently guided by a philosophy of doing things differently, and this principle has now given rise to the CPT001 concept phone. Staying on the cutting edge of design required the freedom to push the limits of what a luxury phone can be. The CPT001 is made from one piece of solid marble with gold filled engraved letters and details. The touch screen is made from a single large piece of sapphire. The buttons and watch crown are made from solid gold, with a magnificent gold skeleton mechanical watch movement placed between the Call and End buttons.

The use of marble is an ode to grand marble statues of the renaissance era. To some the concept of a marble phone may seem unusual; however it is this type of unique "out of the box" thinking in design and materials that allows creation and innovation to evolve. The purpose of a concept is to push the boundaries of invention, allowing concept ideas to be identified for future production designs. Mobiado's passion for the avant-garde is an essential element of its DNA and history, and the driving force of its R&D strategy.

Nokia Mobiles PLans Launch of Music Downloading Service in India

Posted by John 0 comments
Nokia Corp said on Friday it is planning a launch soon for its music downloading service in India following a China launch, as it looks to emerging markets to breathe new life into the struggling service.

Nokia said earlier this week it would bring its Comes with Music downloading service to India after China, but declined to give a timetable.

The India launch would come "very soon", David Tang, vice-chairman of Nokia China, told Reuters on the sidelines of the Boao Forum in on the tropical Hainan island in southern China.

"This is a priority market for us in the future," he said, adding that Nokia planned to continue expanding geographic coverage for the service, currently available in 30 markets,

The world's top cell phone maker said on Thursday it would roll out Comes with Music in China, offering free music with its mobile phones as it seeks to compete with Apple Inc's popular iTunes.

With more than 700 million subscribers, China is the world's biggest mobile market by users. But rampant piracy in the country has kept most major music labels and movie makers from realising significant revenue there despite huge potential.

Nokia unveiled Comes with Music in late 2008, but it has lacked operator support and has gained little traction in developed markets since then.

Earlier this year Niklas Savander, head of Nokia services, told Reuters the offering would focus increasingly on emerging markets.

Separately, Tang said Nokia currently offered a lone product in China that worked on the country's homegrown third-generation (3G) mobile standard TD-SCDMA, but was working to expand.

The technology's teething problems, along with a lack of product offerings, have been major factors inhibiting the development of a national TD-SCDMA network by China's top mobile carrier China Mobile.

But Tang said more TD-SCDMA handset models were on the way from Nokia.

Nokia sold 72 million handsets in China last year, making it the company's biggest market by unit sales.

LG Launches New LG Mini GD880: Pocket Size Mobile Phone

Friday, April 9, 2010 Posted by John 0 comments
LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in mobile communications, today officially launched its new LG Mini (LG GD880), a pocket-size communication hub that maximizes the mobile web experience.

LG Mini is the first phone to use LG's HTML 5-compatible Phantom Browser, which offers a much faster and more stable internet experience. Mini also includes special internet applications and social network connection features that make keeping in touch with online friends easier than ever.

LG Mini is a 3.2-inch full touchscreen phone that feels solid in the hand and is small enough to fit into any pocket. A button-free face contributes to Mini's simple and sleek personality while textured metal accents on the sides add to the phone's visual appeal without detracting from its clean look. This design won LG Mini a red dot award and iF product design award in March.

"Our research shows that most people think current full touchscreen phones -- especially smartphones -- are too bulky, too clunky and too difficult to use," said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. We developed LG Mini to deliver the smartphone-like features that people want in a beautiful and compact package that is also user-friendly."

Maximum Mobile Web Experience:
LG Mini is the first phone to offer LG's new Phantom Browser. Built for speed using the latest Webkit standards, the Phantom Browser delivers an on-the-go web experience without any limits. Not only is Phantom faster, it is also fully compatible with today's most popular websites. Mini’s expanded memory allows for advanced multitasking, supporting up to 10 browser windows open simultaneously.

As the first HTML 5-compatible feature phone, Mini fully supports Google's Latitude, Gmail, Calendar, Google Maps and Google Buzz services, with the same functionality and speed as on a desktop PC. Improved JavaScript and Flash performance means flawless video playback from sites such as YouTube. With navigation tools Intelligent Zoom and Touch-to-Zoom, web pages load at a size optimized for reading on Mini's screen.

Maximum Connectivity:
Social network connectivity is fully integrated into LG Mini so keeping in touch with online friends and making updates on popular social networks sites including Facebook and Twitter is simpler and faster. LG Mini also supports LG Air Sync, which wirelessly synchronizes information and data to a computer, the web and the phone. Even if the phone is misplaced, important data can still be accessed from any PC.

LG's new On Screen Phone feature makes controlling Mini even easier. It shows the phone's interface on a computer screen so files can be dragged and dropped directly from the phone to a computer.

Maximum Convenience:
Online Applications provide access to late-breaking information and entertainment in real-time. Applications from BBC News and AccuWeather are pre-installed and content from partners Amazon, CNN International, The New York Times, eBay and Fox News will be available through the LG Widget Gallery.

LG Mini also offers push email, 5.0 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, FM radio and 7.2 Mbps HDSPA.
