India recently cheered the launch of Nokia's first Series 40 touch-input phone Nokia 6208 Classic, which features a pen input along with an alphanumeric keypad and handwriting recognition features.

The set also has a 2.4-inch QVGA display; the phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, Stereo MP3 player and FM radio, 64 MB internal user memory (13 MB free) and a 5-way navi-key.

China Mobile and Taiwan's High Tech Computer (HTC) are planning to sign a deal next month for the sale of China's first mobile phone based on Google's Android software.

It has been learnt that a Chinese-language version of the Android operating system developed by HTC would be used by the handset, HTC's Magic smartphone.

Furthermore, the software will also be tweaked to meet the needs of China Mobile, the world's largest mobile carrier.
