A Bluetooth headset that comes with a self-charging case, a camera that doubles up as a projector - just some of the gadgets that truly stand out amid the modern electronics crowd. Priyanka Joshi reviews a few of them so that you can decide what to buy this festive season...
The Nokia N8 and BlackBerry Torch
Rs 26,259 and Rs 35,000 (respectively)
Essentially touchscreen devices, both Nokia N8 and BlackBerry Torch rank far ahead in the smartphone list. The N8 runs on Symbian 3, while the Torch flaunts the BlackBerry 6 platform. Both come loaded with software, intuitive user interfaces and multimedia features that can put devices like digital cameras, video cameras and even netbooks to shame.
BlackBerry's biggest innovation in Torch is a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that shares hands-on interface duties with Research in Motion's familiar slider keyboard.
The Torch is powered by a 624MHz processor that is sufficiently responsive while multi-tasking. In case you use a BlackBerry server extensively for official purposes, the Torch will be a great upgrade since it supports social networking like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace.
