There’s a lot of buzz about the Facebook phone from Vodafone, 555 Blue. After reading about the phone on Internet, I decided to compile the scattered information in to one blog. I am still waiting to get my hands on this affordable wonder phone from Vodafone, but we can at least talk about the obvious things this phone comes with. Overall Appearance Resembling HTC Chacha, Vodafone 555 Blue comes with a dedicated Facebook button and the operator is even giving one year free FB access to Vodafone subscribers with this phone.

BlackBerry Torch 9860 RIM has finally introduced the much awaited BlackBerry Torch 9860 in India. The phone has also been launched as Torch 9850, which is a US version with CDMA/EVDO support.  Running on BlackBerry OS 7.0, the phone has a 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen display and a resolution of 800x480 pixels. The specs are somewhat similar to the recently launched Torch 9810 but the sliding physical QWERTY keypad is missing in this BlackBerry. The impressive thing about new Torch 9860 is the powerful 1.2GHz processor and 768MB RAM that will make your browsing and application access experience faster. The 5 megapixel camera with LED flash will not disappoint you, as BlackBerry phones even with 2MP camera click decent pictures. The UI is more fluidic and new BlackBerry browser is undoubtedly faster than earlier versions. There’s support for recording and playing HD videos @720p. I wish the phone had support full HD video playback, i.e. 108...
