Instant messaging service will be available on mobile devices.

Continuing its push into the mobile space, Google is making its Google Talk instant messaging service available to BlackBerry users, Google and BlackBerry maker Research In Motion announced Thursday.

Google Talk for BlackBerry is a version of the instant messaging application that was designed for BlackBerry devices. The application will be much like Google Talk for PCs so when users download the client software they’ll see their existing Google Talk contact list, be able to add and alter contacts, know when contacts are online, and send and receive messages. Users will be notified on the home screen of the BlackBerry when new messages arrive in Google Talk.

BlackBerry users can download the application for free but they may be charged by their mobile operator for data transmitted when using the service.

Google Talk for BlackBerry is expected to be available in the second quarter.

Finally I have changed my mobile from my good old 2100 to Samsung E880.

Samsung E880 details:
– Official Samsung India Website
– Complete details & Specifications from GSM Arena
Current price for Samsung E880 in India is Rs.13500/-

Actually thought to go for Nokia 6600(price: Rs.9800) or LG 4410(price: Rs.14500) but after seeing the features in the showroom, decided with Samsung e880.
I am satisfied with the phone overall but cannot review it because have’nt seen and used all the features yet. May be I will take atleast a month to see things in detail. One negative point I found about the phone is that it dosent have outspeaker to switch-on while answering a phone call except an extra attachable speaker accessory.

I have changed the stupid Hutch service now. I am really fed-up with the Hutch service because of its low signal and 303 messages which say “you have 2 missed calls. please send GET to see the numbers”.

I bought an Airtel Postpaid connection and managed to get the last 6 digits of my old number. Well, I am not giving out my number here because I dont want to be buzzed useless calls or home loan calls and personal loan calls. With the hutch number it became routine for me to answer atleat 2 calls from banks offering loans. So, I prefer little privacy now. I can give my contact number for those who really need it. Please use the contact form and ping me for the number.
