It is to be noted that of late there has been a tremendous demand for dual-SIM handsets in the country with users looking forward to keep one number for personal use while the other one is kept for professional usage. At the same time keeping dual-SIM phones allows users to use one for data and service while the other is for voice and SMS. Both the dual-SIM handsets launched by Nokia are equipped with services called Nokia Life Tools which gives consumers information on a wide range of topics such as agriculture, education, entertainment, healthcare etc. A recent report regarding dual SIM handsets was quoted by Mr Katama which said that dual-SIM phones made up nearly 40% of the mobile market.

This handset combines all of Nokia’s current strengths and weaknesses. Made from anodised aluminium, it’s a well-constructed, chunky slider with a full QWERTY. Those elements have a reassuringly old-fashioned feel to them. Giving less of a warm, nostalgic glow are a 680MHz processor that’s noticeably slower than rivals, giving sluggish multi-touch, and an operating system that feels archaic next to Android, iOS or WP7. Symbian is not a pleasure to use, and the range of apps at the Ovi Store remains of lower quality and quantity than at Android Market or the Apple App Store.

The four-inch screen’s resolution is only 640×360, so movies lack the detail of the Incredible S or iPhone 4. Being AMOLED, it does produce excellent contrast areas and off-angle viewing, however. The E7 does have one killer feature and that is its eight-meg/720p camera. Stills are excellent, and you can tweak white balance, sharpness. ISO and contrast. There’s also an LED flash. The HD video capture is smooth with natural colours, too. I Iowever with its other deficiencies, including a battery that needs charging every night, the E7 is hard to recommend to anyone other than die-hard Nokia fans.

HTC is a Taiwan based manufacturer whose initial phones that were launched into the market was based on Microsoft’s Windows software. Recently, HTC phones have their base shifted to Google Android Operating System. HTC is popular for its wide range of touchscreen mobile phones which are quite popular in the UK mobile market. HTC phones has contributed to the UK mobile industry with some exiting phones like HTC Desire, HTC Legend, HTC Wildfire, etc. They also have some great upcoming phones like HTC Inspire 4G, HTC Free style, HTC Gratia, HTC Desire Z, HTC 7 Surround, HTC 7 Mozart, HTC Aria, HTC Smart etc. which are definite to create revolutions in the market. There are several mobile service providers who are offering several mobile phone deals with HTC phones & Nokia phones such as Vodafone, Virgin, Three Mobile, T-Mobile, Orange & O2. There are several deals too which are on the offering with various Nokia phones & HTC phones.

Cleverly, you can use this for effective navigation without needing a data connection, so it’s ideal for use overseas where data costs can becr ippling. TheN8 has easily the best camera here, with a 12-meg sensor, Carl Zeiss lens, mechanical shutter and xenon flash. The only down sides are that the large sensor means the lens juts out a bit. Calling and texting are good, though we’d have liked to have been able to use the QWERTY virtual keyboard in portrait. The web browser is fast and includes Flash video playback. Best of all, the battery life is excellent; the N8 will easily last you two days between charges. This is a storming return to form for Nokia. However Symbian makes it feel more like the ultimate feature phone than a direct smartphone rival to the Desire or iPhone 4.

It’s a sturdy, filthy and furtive world of crime and vice that needs unusual insider knowledge, which is why the Metropolitan Police reach out to the likes of Nokia and their in-house security team. At a recent Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner’s Commendation Ceremony a special award was given to one of the security big-wigs at Nokia UK. The award was given for his commitment and obligation in assisting the National Mobile handset Crime Unit in a series of covert and overt cases spanning the last five years. It’s worth bearing in mind that very few police offers ever obtain this award, and even rarer for a member of the public to be awarded one. With the intention of protect the on-going investigations, the winner’s name has not been exposed but we know who you are and thank you for all you’ve done in the line of duty! Thanks to the inexorable efforts of this Nokia employee and others like him, your mobile handset can sleep safely in its charger at night. Well done Roy!

Evaluated to other operating systems, Windows Phone is still in its babyhood, and as such doesn’t have a micro payment system in place that can opponent the very best. Nokia has already proved itself in this department with the Ovi Store, and offers different ways to pay for your apps on the move. From paying by credit card, with a simple to use interface that’s competent of remembering certain details so you can easily buy apps the next time you visit, to setting up billing via your network and mobile phone bill, the Ovi Store is a model of simplicity when it comes to payments. By itself, it’s a service we think would contribute entirely to the downy running of the Windows Phone Apps Marketplace.

Nokia’s conclusion to use Windows Phone 7 instead of Android is not essentially a “big surprise” because it’s perceptibly a policy to protect their name from powerful droids. It will be easier for Nokia to restore its failing name with Windows Phone 7 as OS because the society is still fresh, and the European-based business’s option to rule the Microsoft phone world is still big, compared to Android which is now the home of strong iOS competitors like HTC, Samsung and Motorola. Imagine HTC or Motorola phones in headlines because they have outsold Android-powered Nokia phones, the Finland-based company is noticeably trying to shun that.

Notably of late, there has been a considerable rise in several mobile phone OS which has given Nokia a tough competition with the share of the company falling drastically. In the last few years there have been a considerable rise in several mobile phone OS, most notably Android. In fact Android has overtaken Symbian and with smartphones poised to become one of the prominent means by which people access internet in near future, the move by Nokia is not surprising.

However, the move by Nokia has already started raising concerns among employees working on Symbian. It was reported that about 1000 employees in the company’s headquarters walked out over apprehensions about the fortune of those who are working on Symbian. Analysts have also warned that the move can prove risky as Nokia has not revealed as to how it will regain the lost market in US with Windows Phone 7. It also needs to compete with vendors rolling out high-end phones at a cost effective point in other parts of the world. At the same time, Windows Phone 7 OS has yet to transverse a long way to match the popularity of Android, BlackBerry OS and Apple’s iOS.

Features of the E6-00 will pleasure photographers and videocallers – the handset packs an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, as well as a front-facing videocall camera. A bursting QWERTY keypad sits below a 2.8 inch VGA screen on the front of the phone, with the screen implausible to be a touchscreen given the hefty number of controls featured on the keypad and navigation. The E6-00′s launch at MWC is set to overshadow numerous other Nokia launches, including the X7-00 and the N9 (successor to the popular Nokia N8), predominantly if rumours of its ARM processor and Symbian OS prove to be true.
