Information Madness

Spice Mobiles has just announced the launch of its latest mobile phone. Known as the M-6, the phone is probably the first sport themed phone made by an Indian manufacturer. True to its theme, the phone is obviously loaded with sporty content. The device comes with a dedicated Sports Zone that comes with a host of sport centric applications including Ya Sports, Tennis and Yahoo Formula 1.

As for the more phone-like features, here’s what we have. The dual SIM device has a front fascia that is adorned with a 2.2 QVGA TFT screen with support for 262k colors. A very basic 1.3 megapixel camera sits at the rear. It supports expandable memory of upto 4 GB. Other features include an MP3 audio player, and support for FM radio with recording. It has also included Stereo Bluetooth, WAP and GPRS. Apart from all these, a 1000mAH battery should provide quite sufficient talktime. The M-6 also supports social networking applications including Facebook, Yahoo and Nimbuzz. Thanks to Opera’s tie up with Spice Mobile, Opera Mini 4 is preinstalled on the phone.

Besides the features the phone also sports a very rugged and tough look to keep up with its target audience.The company is banking high on an aggressive marketing strategy and is launching innovative products in order to cater to various target audiences.

As Kunal Ahooja, CEO& Director, Spice Mobiles commented on the launch this mobile phone is a part of a bigger strategy in order to support the band brand vision of the company.

The phone is priced at Rs 4,499 which we believe is a decent price to pay for your first sports phone.
