Nokia fights back with cheap touchscreen phones!

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Struggling mobile phone maker Nokia Oyj has unveiled its first full touchscreen phones aimed at the budget end of the market, as it looks to fill a gap in its product range and catch up with rivals, particularly in emerging markets.

Nokia has lost out badly to Apple Inc and Google Inc in the smartphone market and last quarter also lost its position as the world's largest volume cellphone maker to Samsung Electronics.

While fighting back with a new range of smartphones that uses Microsoft software, the group is also eager to tap the booming market for basic phones with full touchscreens.

Analysts at Strategy Analytics estimate that 105 million such handsets were sold globally last year, with demand particularly strong in emerging markets.

"Nokia urgently needed these products for emerging markets where rival Samsung has had full-touch, low cost devices like the Star since June 2009. Now Nokia needs to quickly make up lost ground with these new products," Ben Wood, head of research at CCS Insight, said.

Nokia said on Wednesday its Asha 305 model would go on sale this month for 63 euros ($79), excluding subsidies and taxes. The Asha 306 and Asha 311 models will go on sale next quarter for 68 euros and 92 euros respectively.

"In basic phones (Nokia's) second quarter might still be difficult, but I expect a better third quarter, said Nordea analyst Sami Sarkamies.

Previously Nokia has not had full touchscreen phones in non-smartphone segments. The new phones will be competing with cheaper Android phones from the likes of Huawei, ZTE and Samsung.

Shares in Nokia, which have lost over half of their value over the past year, were 4.7 percent higher at 2.24 euros by 04:23 a.m. EDT (0823 GMT).

How to Choose What Topic to Blog About

Finding out what to blog is indeed one of the hardest part of blogging. Blogging is a good way to share information, document your life, express your passion for a certain subject, or even exploring your hobbies and interests. The primary objective is to choose what to tackle about on your blog.

Blog Designs

We judge a website or a blog not only by its contents but also how its visual impact influence and affect its audience or users. It is but wise to consider your blog design in order to have a rich, high rated and successful blog. Here are my tips in order to have wise and great ideas in choosing your blog designs.

Recently, Blogger has released a new feature of their site called "Design Template". This allows the user to easily customize the appearance or look of their blog by changing its themes, designs, and backgrounds in various choices available. This feature is really helpful to all users who want to make their blog appear eye catching in an easy and step by step process but of course considering the appropriateness to its contents.

Other blog sites such as Wordpress also offers you a lot of themes for you to choose from. All these are very pleasing and elegant in the eyes.

10 Gadgets to Look Forward to in 2012

1. Amazon Kindle Fire

You might wonder what this is doing at the top of our list when it's quite clearly already out - heck, we've even already got an Amazon Kindle Fire review on TechRadar. But it's only out in the USA so far, so for the UK and the rest of the world, it remains a gadget for 2012.

So what's got us so excited about the Kindle Fire? Our review called it "a brilliant media consumption device that doesn't break the bank", making it "perhaps the best gadget bargain of this era".

We'll be interested to see what video streaming options and other content it launches with outside of the US, and it'll be fascinating to see if it spurs tablet adoption with its relatively tiny price.

There are several blog sites out there all varying with different schemes and popularity. If you are confused and wondering as to what blog site to use, here are my top 5 picks in reverse order that could help you with that problem.

The Blogging Craze is In!

Vast numbers of websites are pouring down like rain from different parts of the globe. As a matter of fact there are more or less 612,843,429 websites present according to the conducted surveys of May 2012. Along these millions of websites are the different goals and objectives that their authors or founders are aiming. Among these are social networking, affiliate programs, information giving, data storage, entertainment, banking and finance, insurances, and even advertisement and marketing. Not mentioned above is a type of web based site that aims to make any person an author and even a publisher of his or her own articles, opinions, and reflections. This is the BLOG site.

Motorola Motoluxe Review: First Impressions

Motorola has been silently developing some interesting innovation recently, not mentioning its high-end new RAZR series. But the highlight is in the mid-range Android handsets like Motoluxe, which despite its premium sounding name and better than average camera is very much an “OK” phone.

Alcatel 990 Review: First Impressions

Alcatel, a French brand went to a sort of hibernation in terms of mobile phones for some period of time, but recently the company rises up again with a wide range of affordable and budget-wise phones – the Alcatel 990 is one of the fancier type equipped with a 5-megapixel camera that runs in Android 2.2 Froyo operating system.

HTC One X Review: First Impressions

The aces of HTC have been quiet for some time. Fortunately, they managed to fire out a couple of high-end handsets complete with Beats Audio last year in the form of the Sensations XE and XL, and there was of course the Evo 3D with the visual performance “Amazings!” it offered, but other than that, there’s been a distinct lack of activity from the Taiwanese techlords.

Toshiba Portege R835-P88 Review: First Impressions

The good: This latest version of the Toshiba Portege R835 is still a great value, packing a big hard drive, optical drive, and full-power processor into a chassis not much bigger than an ultrabook.

The bad: This 13-inch laptop once felt thin and light, but similarly priced newer laptops beat it on style and portability.

The bottom line: This one-time favorite is still an excellent go-to 13-inch laptop, if you don't need something quite as slim as an ultrabook, and you can get it for the right price.

TOP 10 ANDROID GAMES OF 2012: MUST HAVE!

Nikon D3200 Review: First Impressions

Is this 24.2-million pixel DSLR the ultimate entry-level camera? Here are the must knows before buying this camera.

Origin EON17-S Review (Intel Core i7-3920XM)

The good: The Origin EON17-S is one of the first laptops to offer Intel's third-gen Core i7 CPUs. It's a powerful, highly customizable gaming laptop that can get expensive, but can also include overclocked components.

The bad: Customizing can drive up the price very quickly, and even with a new back panel, it's still very generic-looking.

The bottom line: First out of the gate with the latest quad-core Intel CPUs, Origin is one of the few high-end boutique gaming PC makers that really pays attention to laptops.

HP Folio 13 Review: Detailed Impressions

The good: The HP Folio 13 has everything that matters most in an ultrabook: very good battery life, an excellent backlit keyboard, all the requisite ports for mobile use, and a very comfortable feel, along with a competitive entry-level price.

The bad: The Folio 13 is no looker compared with other ultrabooks, and is a bit thicker and heavier than thin laptops such as the MacBook Air. The clickpad's just a bit too finicky for our tastes, too.

The bottom line: When it comes to Windows ultrabooks, the HP Folio 13 is the best of the bunch in terms of performance, price, and ergonomics, provided you can live with a less-than-razor-thin design. This laptop is targeted at small businesses but it's really for anyone who wants a reliable ultrabook that isn't a MacBook Air.

Apple MacBook Pro Fall Review (2.2GHz Core i7, 15-inch): First Impressions

The good: Incremental updates to the CPU help keep the MacBook Pro line a step above the now-mainstream MacBook Air. The trackpad and gesture controls are still the best of any current laptop.

The bad: Unless you need an optical drive, the MacBook Air may be a better fit for most, and the Pro still lacks things we'd like to see, such as HDMI, Blu-ray, and USB 3.0.

The bottom line: A MacBook Pro is a significant investment, especially when adding in optional upgrades. Cost aside, there's not a better choice (there are, however, some close ties) for an all-around powerhouse that will work in the home, the office, and in between.

Samsung Galaxy S-III Review: First Impressions

Samsung’s Galaxy S3 phone has been much promoted – it is, after all, the device that will compete with Apple’s iPhone 5, and carries in many ways all Google’s best hope for its Android operating system.
