Pine Mobiles Enters India with Touch Phone

Adding to the already flooded Indian mobile handset market is Singapore-based Pine Mobiles, which launched its touchscreen based mobile phone Polo.

The Polo comes with a 2.8-inch touchscreen and a 2 megapixel camera. However, there's no clarity on whether the screen is capacitive or resistive in nature. This dual-SIM phone comes with a 3.5 mm jack for music lovers and a mobile tracker. Specially designed for the Indian audience, this phone comes with a Hindi Panchang. 32 GB T-Flash support is thrown in as well. The phone comes pre-loaded with Opera Mini and Nimbuzz. You can carry ample music and photos around in this phone, as it supports external memory of up to 32GB. Apart from the now common Hindi language support, this handset also supports Assamese language.

The phone claims to provide up to 7 hours of talk time and standby of up to 240 hours. The phone also packs in hand writing recognition technology.

The Polo is priced at Rs. 5,999. The phone competes with the recently launched Android running Micromax A60 Andro and new entrant Lave A10, a 3-inch IPS display bearing touch phone.
