Nokia Dual Sim Phones in 2010
Nokia which was the sole leader in the Mobile phone market, has been having some hard time lately with the Dual sim phones and the rapid increase in the models released by some competitors like Samsung who are going all out to snatch the mobile market from Nokia.
Nokia is going to release its Dual sim Phones in the second quarter of 2010.
Samsung, LG, Motorolla the internationally accredited brands have forayed into the Dual sim market, and been quite successful. And there is also some stiff competition from the local makers like Spice , Acer, Intex, Airfone and Karbonn.
So Nokia which has the confidence of the costumers to be a genuine and a sturdy phone maker with a reputation of rolling out reliable phones.
The Dual sim market is flourishing all because of the demand of costumers, and Nokia which has already lost its first place in the UK market will not let Samsung take its position in India too.
So The second quarter of 2010 will be interesting to see what moves other Companies will be taking to compete with Nokia.
In all this Cat fight between the Companies costumers are then ones who are getting benefited.

The Official Palm blog says:
"All the power of Palm webOS -- including multitasking activity cards, Palm Synergy, intuitive notifications, and universal search will soon be available in a striking new form factor. Palm Pixi -- due on the Sprint network in time for the holidays -- is Palm’s thinnest phone ever."
Palm saying that it is the thinnest phone from its stables.
Some Specifications:
- Candy Bar Design.
- Qwerty Keypad.
- 2Mp Camera
- 2.63 inch captive display
- And shockingly it does not support Wifi (in this era of wifi god knows why Palm has left this feature out)
