Samsung TouchWiz F480

Smallest of the touchscreen-only series of Samsung Mobile, F480 TouchWiz provides a smooth uncluttered interface, which is convenient and very usable. Reviewers have reported quiry behaviour in the software, which is acceptable, since this is a new platform and these were minor and fixable in the firmware update. However the Features are lacking. There is no Wi-fi and no GPS, but 3G and Edge are present. Camera is 5 Mpx with decent quality.

Overall good looking phone with metal finish but currently overpriced compared to competition.

Available for Rs.18,299 at cafegadgets.com

Sad Demise of MobileNxt.com

Network 18 has decided to pull the plug on mobilenxt.com, and merge it with its portal In.com. The range is visibly reduced and very few of the products have been carried over. The problem maybe with the joint venture they had with MobileNxt chain of stores. Prices are still good, but it is unlikely that the performance will remain the same as the focus will not be just cell phones but all kinds of merchandise. Their other venture Storeguru.in has taken over the shopping division completely.

One less competitior for cafe gadgets and gadgets guru.
