Mobile phone major Nokia launched two new phones targeting the rural market. The Dual-SIM mobile phones C1-00 and C2-00 have call divert facility. The sale of C1-00 priced at Rs 1,999 will start from September.

The company also said it would activate its Indian server for routing data for messenger services from Nov 5, adding its services have been cleared by security agencies.

"Our server for the messenger services will be active in the country by November 5," said D. Shiva Kumar, vice president, Nokia India, on the sidelines of a mobile phone launch event .

The company tried to allay any fears that its messenger services could meet the same fate as BlackBerry and come under the security agencies' scanner.

The BlackBerry controversy seemed to have helped Nokia. Industry sources say sales of the Finnish firm's smart phones have risen due to the fear that BlackBerry users may not be able to send messages on its encrypted network anymore following a crackdown by Indian security agencies.

Nettop from Onkyo

Nettop from Onkyo with switchable modular DVD-drive

An interesting innovation has pleased us with an Asian company Onkyo. Nettop manufacturer has released a new platform based P305A3 ION already familiar with the Atom 230 processor (pozhmotnichali long overdue move to a dual core 330) with a frequency of 1.6 gigahertz. What is so unusual for a novelty? P305A3. Of course, this you have not seen: a nettop comes bundled with an external DVD-drive, which is attached to the hull P305A3 as a module. You can always leave your home Nettop without an optical drive, taking him on a trip to the set on a thin laptop. Rather, such an interesting solution to attract many users. The device is equipped with two gigabytes of RAM and hard disk capacity of 160 gigabytes. Buy a novelty will be in March next year at a price of 770 dollars, to put it mildly - about twice as overrated.

Sony PSP

Sony has revealed its latest PSP known as the PSP Go. It has a a 3.8-inch display, 16GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an M2 card slot, and it’s smaller about 50% than its predecessor. It will be available in October 1st, priced at $249.

Well we battled the mob to get our first hands on with Sony's latest PSP -- the Go! It was actually fairly light in hand, but not un-solid feeling. We thought there could be a little more depth between your thumbs and palm of your hand, and it felt a bit hard to locate the shoulder buttons, but that may be because we're used to the older model. Look -- we know what you really want!

Nokia Kinetic

The Nokia Kinetic isn't just a sleek concept phone. It's a sleek concept phone that raises itself up into a standing position when a call comes in. Huh?  Inside the Kinetic is an electromagnet that can shift weights in the curved base, causing the phone to tilt upright on cue, that cue being an incoming call. Telemarketer again? Tap the phone to decline the call and it'll fall back down. It's intended to be a playful feature, though I can see it being useful in a quiet office where even vibrating phones are sometimes an irritant to others. More images after the break...
The Kinetic's pretty clever, though designer Jeremy Innes-Hopkins will have to do some serious convincing if anyone's going to go for the bulbous form factor of this thing.
