We just came across this awesome website 'Zbigz' for downloading torrents with privacy, that is you won't have to sacrifice your IP Address when you download torrents. All you need is the magnetic link of the torrent. The working of the website is simple, when you give a torrent link or file, it downloads the torrent on to it's servers and provides us with a direct link from Zbigz which can be resumed during download. The steps to be followed are below.

Now after you have copied down the Magnetic link for the torrent, Paste it on the home page of Zbigz and click on the 'Go' button. You will be taken to a page where you have to choose between a 'Free' service and a paid one. Select the free service and you will be taken to another page, Where the status of the torrent being downloaded to the Zbigz server is shown. After the torrent is downloaded to Zbigz server, Zbigz provides you with a direct link to downloading the file. It takes time to get the link as the file from torrent has to be downloaded to the Zbigz server first and so you will need patience. Then they provide you with a safe direct link that can be paused and resumed.

Samsung, The top contender in the Mobile Phone market has rolled out the Dual SIM version of it's popular Android model 'The Samsung Galaxy Y', The Samsung Galaxy Y DUOS Lite S5302. This phone has the dual SIM option and is dual active, which means two SIM's can be used alongside each other.

The Samsung Galaxy Y DUOS packs an 832MHz processor with 296MB of RAM and 3GB of Internal Storage. There is an external memory card slot which can be expanded upto 32GB. The phone has a resolution of 240x320 Pixels and has a PPI of 132. PPI refers to Per Pixel Intensity and decides the clarity and sharpness of a screen. 132 is pretty low when compared to other models. The screen is 2.8 Inches wide which is pretty low. 

Galaxy Y DUOS runs on Android Gingerbread OS and has a 1200mAh battery. The phone has a 2MP Camera just like the Samsung Galaxy Y.

Pros:
------

Cons:
-------

• Very low PPI around 132. Which means less display clarity and sharpness.
• 1200 mAh battery for a dual active android phone won't last much.
• Price of 6.9K, a bit on the upper side.

Nokia, after a fall in it's shares has reduced the rate of the older Windows Phones models like Lumia 800 by around 15%, and other Windows Phones. All Nokia Phones now are expected to have a fall in Prices very soon due to fall in Nokia Shares. 

We believe that Nokia should concentrate more on Phones below the 10k Range, Like the Nokia Asha 311 which was released very recently. This we feel is the only way we feel Nokia could bounce back to being a top contender.

If you are planning to buy a touch screen phone under 7k, you should definitely have a look at Nokia Asha 311. The phone priced close to 6.5k has some features that would put even some android touchscreen phones in the 10k range to shame. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a great deal at a price close to Rs 7000. 

The Phone packs a 1GHz processor which runs on Series 40 OS. Asha 311 has a 3-inch screen with 262 k colors and a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. Gorilla glass is another feature that makes this phone stand out as other phones at this price doesn't have it. A 3.2MP camera that can record 640x480 pixel videos, adds to it's amazing features. The phone doesn't feature a front camera.

Asha 311 has a 1110mAh Li-Ion battery that can aid 14 hours of talktime and 6 hours of 3G internet usage. The phone has a standby time of around 700 hours. The phone has Wi-Fi as well.

Cons:

• Runs Symbian 40 OS which is outdated , S60 would have been better.
• No front camera for video calling.
