New killers on the prowl!

In one of my earlier posts, I had talked about the Nokia 5800, being a possible iPhone killer. 

The Nokia 5800 was launched recently, though it is not a stunner and comes with the oh-so-common Nokia chunky design; it has a good feature set, which is better than what the iPhone packs in. In the looks department, it’s more like the beauty (iPhone) and beast! 

The only way this phone can be an iPhone killer is if it is priced judiciously. Early reports say that it should be priced around $391 (~ Rs. 20,000). But then again the speculative prices rarely become reality. Going by what the N95 was priced at, I am guessing prices would be close to the un-judicious Rs. 30,000 mark.

Another possible iPhone killer on the horizon is the HTC Touch HD. Now this phone is both stunning and feature-rich. The price is what remains to be seen. But till then drool over the pictures on this link.

Those planning to buy mobile phones will do well to hold on till Christmas. All of these new models are slated to be released around that time. Watch this space! Over and out!
