Intex VShow IN 8809 – A projector phone

A unique thing about the Intex VShow IN 8809 is that it is a projector phone and has a decent build quality. Also, it is priced reasonably and hence won’t make a hole in your pocket. Projector Intex VShow IN 8809 can project images on a huge 32 inch screen. You can go for a bigger screen too but the quality will go bad. The images are bright and clean if the room is totally dark.

Beetel GD530 – Facebook friendly phone for the youth

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this phone land up in offices.

Their landline phones were famous when I was a kid, I saw a Beetel landline in almost every house.
