Mobile and Laptop Query

Two more Ask Us queries to be answered,

The first query is by Himanshu Gandhi,

Hi,
I am looking for a smartphone/pda with a reasonably good touch screen atleast 2MP camera and possibly Wi-Fi. My budget is Indian rupees 13,000-15,000 (about US$250-300). I was contemplating between Asus P320 and LG KP500 Cookie and Samsung F480 (though LG cookie and samsung F480 doesnt have Wifi). Could you guide me as to which one would be a good option. My use of Wifi is limited to in case a model scores on other front, I can do away with this feature.

Thanks.

Hey Himanshu,

Both the LG KP500 Cookie and the Samsung F480 are superb options, but the Samsung F480 is definitely much better. It has a better cam, better browser and better connectivity features than in the LG KP500 Cookie. But it is also costlier. You can also consider the HTC Touch Viva, which has a much better UI than the rest but a mediocre cam. The Asus P320 isn’t recommended as it is bogged down by low RAM, but it does have GPS. Personally, I would recommend the Samsung F480 of these 4. You can also check out the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. Continue reading ‘Mobile and Laptop Query’

PlanOn Printstik PS910 Review

The PlanOn Printstik PS910 is a portable mobile printer by PlanOn. It is very compact and portable and is aimed primarily who need to print stuff while on the go. It is powered by a built in battery and can be connected using either a USB 2.0 port or Bluetooth. It is priced a bit high and the performance is just not worth it, especially if you can make do with a bigger but better printer. But it is a good option for those looking for a small, portable printer.
