Motorola and Kodak have launched the Motozine ZN5 camera phone in the Indian market. Even before considering the specification of the handset, I have been highly impressed by the amount of local content that these 2 global players have put into the handset.

The handset comes with default access to many indian newspapaers including Financial Express, Indian Express and Deccan Chronicle via the daily news link in ZN5. It comes loaded with a number of wallpapers that are clearly indian in taste.

Moreover three cricket games by Krish games have been preloaded on the Motorola ZN5 along with live cricket scoreboards, ball by ball commentary, live match simulations and news.

As far as connectivity is concerned the ZN5 supports Wi-Fi, EDGE, GPRS, bluetooth with A2DP and USB v2.0.  The handset comes with a TV out feature, a 3.5mm earphone socket and Motorola’s crystal talk technology.

The Motozine ZN5 is expected to be priced around Rs 20,000.

Also as a part of the introductory offer, the users would get 100 Kodak free prints of their personal photographs at select Kodak stores until March 31, 2009.

If you want to read emails on your phone ,I sugggest you to use ProfiMail, a very nice mobile email client

Profimail is a cool client which helps me to read and respond to my emails even from office.

To start using profimail, I had to just download the client on my mobile and configure it by giving required input fields like username, password, incoming mail server ,outgoing mail server
etc.

Profimail is a really feature reach application. Some of the important features are listed below :

• Automatic synchronization of messages with mail server
• IMAP folders
• Attachments – view, save, send
• ability to send HTML messages with images and hyperlinks
• Address book support
• Support for POP3 / IMAP / SMTP mail servers
• Multiple email accounts
• Text viewer for standard text, HTML and Word documents
• Optimized for GPRS – get headers first, then download message bodies which you really want to see

Well though I normally use very few of these features but it is indeed a cool client and enables me to respond to critical mails really fast

But the only catch is that it is a paid client. However if want to be able to access your mails then I think the $60 price may not be too much to pay.

In the mean time I am trying to find a free email client for my mobile. Please drop a line in the comments section, if you are aware of one.

I have been using Nokia E61i since Nov 2007. No wonder it is one of my fav gadzet and best buddy. Reason behind this is it allows me to be online on gtalk thru fringe.. check my mywalkin emails thru Profimail and access gmail thru gmail client.

So here are my two cents on how to use ur phone more smartly..

1. Fring:- Fring is one chat messenger which can help u to be online on all 4 people messengers at one go.
U can very well connect to yahoo /gtalk/skype/MSN and SIP.

Steps to download Fring on ur mobile are simple.

1.Go to www.fring.com
2.Enter ur number
3.wait for the sms
4.Click on the link provided in the sms.
5. Download and install Fring
and Enjoy happy chatting..

Voice clarity is too good . In fact I prefer to speak from E61i then to do the same from my machine

For more details visit www.fring.com.

Ps: Just now I came to know that they do have add ons like Orkut which will allow us to reply to the scraps immediately.
I will use it for a while and blog abt my experience..

Mumbai local trains are the lifeline of this city. However knowing the time table of local trains or finding information regarding the train to take for travelling from one place to the other can be difficult.

That is where the mumbailocal mobile application comes handy. You just download the application and transfer the same through data cable to your mobile. After that you can get all information regarding local trains on your mobile. The application does not need GPRS, so you can use it with any java enabled mobile.

Try the trial version for free. The full version can be purchased at Rs 99. More information can be found here

If you are on orkut, then you can not simply stay away from it. The best way to be on orkut throughout the day is to be present on orkut through your mobile phone.

If you have a gprs connection 

If you have a gprs connection then you can use orkut.com directly. However the speed may be too slow. A better option is to use the mobile version of orkut at m.orkut.com. There may be some login problems in the mobile version of orkut mobile version. If you face any issue in logging into orkut, then ensure that cookies are enabled on your mobile. Sometimes logging into gmail before visiting orkut mobile solves the problem. Try your luck

Do not loose heart if you do not have a gprs connection. You can read your scraps as sms.To use Orkut SMS, you need to register your phone on the orkut website. Orkut will give you a message code to send to the Orkut SMS number for verification. You can then send SMS commands from your phone to the appropriate orkut SMS number, which is 56555 in India.

Unfortunately it supports only Aircel, BPL, MTNL, Reliance, Spice and Tata. It does not support 3 large telecom operators namely Airtel, Vodafone and BSNL! What if you use a connection from Airtel, BSNL or Vodafone. Do not loose heart. Pavan from techpavan has found a way to get your scraps as sms on your mobile. Check the hack here
