According to some recent reports the new Nokia N8 will soon get launched in Pakistan as well. The specs of Nokia N8 have already been discussed here in a previous post which shows that this phone is really an attractive one. It has a 12 mega pixels camera, wide screen, excellent display and many other attractive features for the customers which make this smart phone really better than others.

This smart phone will get launched in Pakistan under the contract between Nokia and Ufone. According to this contract only Ufone will have the rights to sale this new Nokia N8 for the first month throughout Pakistan. The pre-sales will also be done by Ufone which means Ufone will have a great chance of making huge profit with this new and exciting mobile phone for a whole month. The price of this cell phone in Pakistan is not yet confirmed as the price will be set by Ufone so that it could earn a sizable amount of profit as well. But it is hoped that as this cell phone has a 12 mega pixels camera and a lot of other exciting features the price of this cell phone in Pakistan will be higher.

Well it is good to see that Ufone has decided to bring this latest Nokia N8 to Pakistan otherwise people would have to wait for long to see such an attractive phone in Pakistan. I hope this new cell phone performs extra ordinarily better in Pakistan.

Almost every bank in Pakistan is now providing mobile phone banking services to its customers but still they are unable to attract the customers towards mobile phone banking. People in Pakistan don’t even like to pay their bills through their mobile phones and avail the service which can save their useful time. There are a lot of reasons why mobile phone subscribers in Pakistan don’t go for mobile phone banking services. The very first reason is that people do not have complete information about the mobile phone banking. Even after watching ads on television and newspapers they are unable to understand it completely. Why they don’t understand mobile phone banking is because they are least interested in it.

The next and the most important reason is that people in Pakistan do not trust mobile phone banking and they fear to bear any loss due to it. Pakistan is a developing country, unemployment rate is high and a lot of people are living their life below the poverty line. So, people in Pakistan avoid any kind of financial risk and in the sake of avoiding a financial risk they avoid mobile phone banking.

Banks, Cellular Mobile Operating companies and PTA need to create more awareness among people that mobile phone banking is secure and beneficial as it saves a lot of useful time. Only then mobile phone banking could become famous in Pakistan other than that it will take a lot of time to make people understand mobile phone banking and attract them towards it.

The new Motorola DEFY is a touchscreen mobile phone. It is not only an attractive smartphone but it is also a strong and durable mobile phone as it is dust and scratch resistant. Moreover, it is also water proof and can still work to its full capacity even after staying in water for a specific time. The other specs of this new Motorola DEFY are also quite attractive. It has a 3.7 inch Gorilla Glass display which is new to mobile phones and 480 x 854 pixels resolution. It runs on Android 2.1 OS and has a lot of new features and apps in it. It has 800 MHz processor, 512MB RAM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a 7.2MBP/s HSDPA modem, 2GB internal memory extendable with a Micro SD card and a 5 mega pixels camera with LED flash light.

We all know that social networking is what everybody is after now and staying connected to their favorite social network through mobile phones is what they want. The new Motorola DEFY therefore has MOTOBLUR in it which lets the users to stream their emails and social networks all into one feed with a secure backup.

Motorola DEFY is the new hope of Motorola to capture the largest market share and as it is really an attractive phone with attractive features I think it will definitely do good for Motorola in the cell phone industry. People all around the world including Pakistan really love touchscreen smartphones but they want them to be strong and durable and this is what they will get in Motorola DEFY.

Yes it is true because Pakistan stands among those countries where the SMS service is really cheap. All the Cellular Mobile Operator’s provide different SMS bundle packages to their customers. These packages are not mandatory but they are so much attractive that mobile phone users cannot stay without activating one in their mobile phone connection. Offering SMS bundle packages is a race now and every day we see Warid, Ufone, Mobilink, Telenor and Zong coming up with different SMS bundle offers.

These SMS bundle offers are both good and bad for the mobile phone subscribers in Pakistan. The good part is this that people can communicate easily with each other through text messaging on cheaper rates and the bad part is that the youth of Pakistan is wasting a lot of time on it. They cannot concentrate on their studies and they take less interest in sports and other activities due to which their IQ level is also declining.

Ever since the SMS bundle packages race started, a big revolution has been experienced in the telecommunication industry of Pakistan and the CMO’s have earned and they are still making a lot of money through these packages. But what do you think? Are they really beneficial for the nation or they are a distraction for the youth of Pakistan?

As it appears from its name, this new mobile phone has dual input select. It is both a touchscreen phone and it has a keypad as well. The size of this new Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type mobile phone is 106.2 x 48.4 x 9.6 mm and its weight is 78 grams. It has a 2.4-inch touchscreen display with 320 x 240 pixels resolution and a 16-button standard keypad with dedicated keys for messages and playing music. Its shape is quite attractive and the colors in which this new Nokia X3-02 will come are likely to attract people of all age groups.

Other features of Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type mobile phone are also very interesting. It has a 5 mega-pixel camera, MP3, WMA and others, Social networking apps, Nokia Ovi store app, Opera mini app, Micro USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.1, extendable memory up to 16 GB’s through Micro SD card and many other exciting features. In short this cell phone has whatever you need. It will be lunched during the last quarter of this year in most of the countries including China, UK, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Germany, Spain & Portugal, France, Mexico, Saudi and Yemen.

Pakistan is one such country where the market share and demand of Nokia mobile phones is really high. Therefore this new Nokia X3-02 is really awaited in Pakistan as for mobile phone users in Pakistan Nokia ranks top in user friendliness. It is not yet confirm when this new cell phone by Nokia will officially arrive in Pakistan but it is hoped that it will attract a lot of customers there because Pakistani’s really love to have a mobile phone with both touch and type input select.

There are a lot of companies in Pakistan which make ads against their competitors but the ones made by the cellular mobile operating companies in Pakistan are what we are going to discuss here. The CMO’s used to make ads which showed that their product is better than the competitor but they were indirect. Now they have started making ads against each other which directly criticize the other Mobile Operating Company. This unethical trend was started by Zong after its launch and still it continues to make such ads. Later other CMO’s also adopted this advertising method of making ads against the competitors.

Ufone is somehow an exception as it usually comes up with ads which are funny and based on creative ideas but it also sometimes directly criticizes the services of other cell phone operating companies in Pakistan. Even Mobilink which is the market leader and Telenor which is equipped with the most latest and updated technology use these kinds of ads to attract customers.

Ads like these are really funny and interesting and they are considered to play some role in increasing the sales of the cell phone operating companies by attracting customers of other competitors but it is really something to think about that at one place they all are entering into MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with each other for bringing more improvement in the industry and services provided to the customers whereas at another point they are making ads against each other and making fun of other network’s services and packages to show that their own services and packages are better.

This ad war between the cellular operating companies in Pakistan is really a major issue. This could affect the overall industry growth, customer’s confidence and can create serious issues among the CMO’s in Pakistan. I think Pakistan Telecommunication Authority needs to take some serious action against this ad war between the CMO’s in Pakistan for the benefit of the industry. Moreover, the CMO’s need to understand that there are a lot of other attractive and ethical ways to capture the attention of the cell phone users in Pakistan.

If you are looking to buy any cell phone in Pakistan then try to buy it in Mobile Zone or United Mobiles warranty. Both these cell phone companies are really good and they provide excellent services if any technical problem comes in the mobile phone. Their customer services are good and they have technical skills available to resolve all the problems with the mobile phone within a given time. Most of the people living in Pakistan prefer to buy second hand or used mobile phones. They buy them because they want a good cell phone in low price. Some of the phones which people buy are not in warranty as they have come from abroad whereas warranty of others have expired.

People who buy cell phones without warranty feel good that they have bought a cell phone in cheaper price but they really face a tough time when their occurs a technical problems  with their cell phone. They then have to take it to the mobile phone repairing centers in their near vicinity and sometimes have to pay a lot to get their mobile phones fixed. Even after spending a lot of money the mobile phone gives the same problem as the ordinary cell phone repairers do not possess the skills to perfectly fix the mobile phone. This brings the overall cost of the mobile phone equal to that of buying a brand new mobile phone with the warranty of MZ or United Mobiles.

Therefore, if you are looking to purchase a cell phone, then buy it with the warranty of MZ or United Mobiles in Pakistan because they are the best and the most reliable cell phone companies.

The fiscal year 2010 was a tough one for the cell phone operating companies in Pakistan as the competition between them has really gained momentum. All the cell phone companies are always planning new and different strategies to gather the market share. They offer different packages in the market to attract new customers and retain the older ones. The major issue mobile phone operating companies faced this fiscal year was that of clearing in-active subscribers. Zong cleared more than 300,000 in-active subscribers, Ufone cleared 0.5 million of them and Warid cleared almost 1 million in-active subscribers.

According to the PTA’s report Mobilink is the market leader with 32.47% market share. Other cellular mobile operators share in the market is Telenor 23.99%, Ufone 19.71%, Warid 17.07% and Zong 6.76% respectively. Out of all the cellular companies in Pakistan Warid is the one whose market share has reduced by almost 2 percent. The reason Warid lost its market share is more attractive bundle packages offered by other cell phone operating companies.

There are still 40 percent people in the country which do not use a mobile phone. This means the telecom industry in Pakistan still has a long way to go. The call rates and SMS rates in Pakistan are already very low and this competition between the CMO’s in Pakistan to attract the remaining 40 percent will further bring exciting offers and rates for the Pakistani’s.

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has signed this memorandum of understanding with all the Cellular Mobile Operators (CMO’s) because it wants to increase the overall industry lease ration to a specific mark and to increase the pace of infrastructure sharing among all the cell phone operators in the country. All the parties associated to this MoU expect it to bring various benefits for the telecom industry, for the customers and for the cellular companies as well.

All the CMO’s have agreed to follow a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the technical and commercial consideration. PTA, within its jurisdictions will facilitate the whole process of infrastructure sharing. According to the MoU all the telecom industry players in Pakistan are hoped to make commercial arrangements powerful and increase the overall industry lease ration to 1.5 within the next 3 years with untiring collective efforts.

Well it really looks interesting that all the cellular mobile operators of Pakistan have come to a single platform to support the industry. I wonder if they all can also join hands together to bring 3G network services in Pakistan. If it happens then the telecom industry of Pakistan will definitely reach new height. But so far it looks like nothing such is going to happen because the cost of the 3G spectrum is really high and the cellular mobile operating companies fear that they won’t be able to recover their investment. Whatever the reason is the truth is that the Pakistani mobile phone users are still waiting for the 3G services.

We all know that people involved in different businesses have to travel a lot. And what is important for them is to keep all their important data with them and stay connected to important business clients through calls and emails. A recent analysis showed that the business persons who have a Blackberry with them do not care about carrying a laptop while traveling. Why they do so? A simple answer to it is that Blackberry has become a single platform for them to conduct all their business activities.

Let us see what features of a Blackberry phone are attractive for a businessman. The first and the most interesting feature in a Blackberry for the business persons is the advanced wireless technology which provides them the email facility with high security. The push email facility and high security provided is really impressive as it securely integrates with Microsoft® Exchange or IBM Lotus® Domino™. Triple DES or AES encryption provides secure communication. This feature has really become famous for sending mails and traveling data. Apart from this Blackberry is liked by them because it saves a lot of time. They can easily access their e-mails, calls, time sensitive information, intranet-based applications and software development tools.

Blackberry has international acceptance and its services work almost all around the world. The users of blackberry mobile phones can access information much faster than the tradition USB as it is Intel processor and blue tooth enabled. Apart from all this Blackberry phones have excellent storage capacity and great standby life of up to 17 days. Blackberry is surely something amazing for the business people.
