Its raining Cellphones, Men!!

With the Apple iPhone getting ready for its sale tomorrow, Nokia has launched its new Nseries phone, the Nokia N96. This adds to the tough competition between phone companies to lure more customers to latest and sleek cellphones coming out. Only last week, Samsung launched its F480 TouchWiz phone and LG is introducing its RD10000. Add to it the mad rush of people to get their hands on the iPhone despite it being priced at a whopping Rs.31000. This month consumers are really being brainstormed with choices left, right and middle.
