As expected, Telenor today announced publicly that it has exited ICH 
or International Clearing House from January 25th, 2014, after which ICH
 – by definition – has collapsed altogether.<br />

Telenor said that Telenor LDI Communications (Pvt.) Ltd (TLC), a 
subsidiary of Telenor Pakistan has made its exit from the International 
Clearing House (ICH) due to heavy losses to Telenor as an enterprise.<br />

International Clearing House, implemented under a policy issued by 
MoIT, included 14 LDI operators. However, during the while, mobile 
companies – Telenor and Mobilink specifically – were not contented due 
to share they were getting out of consolidated international incoming 
traffic’s revenues.<br />

At the time of implementation of ICH Mobile Termination Rate of Rs. 
1.20 for international incoming (MTRI) was proposed for mobile 
operators, however, it was never implemented.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
As a result, Telenor showed its concerns last month when ICH was to be reviewed by Ministry.<br />

Telenor said it faced financial losses of more than PKR 2.2 billion 
since the establishment of ICH and upward revision of Total Accounting 
Rate/Access Promotion Charge.<br />

Muhammad Aslam Hayat, Vice President Corporate Affairs Telenor 
Pakistan said on the development, “Elimination of grey traffic is a 
focus area for us. We have worked closely with the regulator in reducing
 grey traffic that is detrimental to telecom operators and the economy 
alike. Unfortunately, it has been observed that the grey traffic has 
increased considerably since the formation of ICH and upward revision of
 Total Accounting Rate/ Access Promotion Charge. This has also had an 
adverse effect on our business thus causing substantial revenue losses 
that are affecting our ability to run as a stable business entity. 
Staying in ICH in these circumstances was no more an option. However we 
are still looking towards the government and PTA to take necessary steps
 in reducing grey traffic.”<br />

It is worth mentioning that over 90% of international incoming 
traffic is terminated on cellular mobile operators’ networks. This 
termination after ICH’s implementation has been reduced by more than 75%
 on average for all operators and has subsequently led to plummeting 
revenues.<br />

After the implementation of ICH the overall international incoming 
traffic has reduced from 1.8 billion minutes to less than 500 million 
minutes per month while the corresponding mobile termination revenue on 
incoming international traffic has therefore drastically declined from 
PKR 1.6 billion to PKR 450 million per month.</div>

QMobile Announces its First Tablet, the QTab X50

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnOUIYrFfVDzO3YNS8ovx5ZVWGaaMgewmLBLQ0aOTUKI8gYfcWGG3r1CnWqiqFh6RRLyuvk50gFTw0r4UnLxMgfdju_JRD7cm4PvnCAFCSOtmqEqLlNF4lRxAwgo4OCQmJBQaJHqY1OZc/s1600/QMobile_QTab_X50.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnOUIYrFfVDzO3YNS8ovx5ZVWGaaMgewmLBLQ0aOTUKI8gYfcWGG3r1CnWqiqFh6RRLyuvk50gFTw0r4UnLxMgfdju_JRD7cm4PvnCAFCSOtmqEqLlNF4lRxAwgo4OCQmJBQaJHqY1OZc/s1600/QMobile_QTab_X50.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
QMobile has announced its first tablet for the country’s audience, the QTab X50.<br />

The tablet measures 8 inches in size and comes with a quad-core MediaTek processor underneath.<br />

The display is a disappointing aspect, however, with 1024 x 768 
resolution. QMobile’s several phones themselves easily top that. The 
design is also rather uninspiring but we can live with that.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Under the hood, a 1.2Ghz quad-core MediaTek processor with 1 GB worth
 RAM and 16 GB expandable storage onboard. At the back sits a 5 
megapixel camera, coupled by a 2 megapixel camera at the front.<br />

The tablet comes with a SIM card slot but we don’t know whether phone
 calls and messaging are doable. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also onboard.<br />

Here are the full specs of the X50:<br />

<ul>
<li>Customized Android 4.2 Jelly Bean</li>
<li>8 inch display with resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels</li>
<li>9.9mm thick</li>
<li>GSM support</li>
<li>1.2Ghz quad-core MediaTek processor</li>
<li>1 GB RAM with 16 GB expandable storage</li>
<li>5 megapixel rear-camera</li>
<li>2 megapixel front-camera</li>
<li>Wi-Fi, microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth</li>
<li>4500 mAh battery</li>
<li>Price: PKR 24,500</li>
</ul>
PKR 24,500 , well, that’s not that much but when you think of 
comparable offerings by established names like Samsung through devices 
like the Nexus 7 and the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, it can be a bit tough to 
swallow.<br />

You’ve got to be aware of the rights and wrongs before buying this one.</div>

QMobile Announces Entry-Level Noir A35 for Rs. 8,950

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP5ZjO3YKtMtzAuy7xcDXIvpqbDpd3hu9jep_67NkfsuGxQixukbEWoDAHJjPq53qOEr9iOa5yjXb0wQO5ehyphenhyphenljYHutSk9bQHLjoF7Y4uAqG-_PvSYmmHtQZAACK7PTXGvs1n-19ToLS4/s1600/Noir_A35_QMobile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP5ZjO3YKtMtzAuy7xcDXIvpqbDpd3hu9jep_67NkfsuGxQixukbEWoDAHJjPq53qOEr9iOa5yjXb0wQO5ehyphenhyphenljYHutSk9bQHLjoF7Y4uAqG-_PvSYmmHtQZAACK7PTXGvs1n-19ToLS4/s1600/Noir_A35_QMobile.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
QMobile has announced its umpteenth phone in the entry-level line-up,
 the Noir A35. This Android powered phone is astonishingly cheap – both 
in price and the quality.<br />

The first thing you’ll notice is the breath-taking similarity between
 the theme on this phone and that on Samsung’s Gingerbread era <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-SA-I9100-Unlocked-support/dp/B005M3518G/ref=sr_1_13?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1390937399&sr=1-13" target="_blank">smartphones</a>.
 Upon getting over that, you’ll notice that the display is of WVGA 
resolution, 800 x 480 pixels that is. Just don’t expect AMOLED-kinda 
quality from it.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Scratch the surface (just throw it on the wall, it’s that easy) and 
you’ll find the phone comes with a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor along with
 256 MB RAM. 512 MB built-in memory is also expandable via microSD. 
Dual-sim compatibility is also onboard.<br />

A duo of 2 megapixel and VGA cameras can be found but other than 
occasional Facebook posts or selfies, we can’t think of a reason why you
 would want to use either of them (or make fun of yourself) for some 
serious photography. <img alt="cleardot QMobile Announces Entry Level Noir A35 for Rs. 8,950" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif" title="QMobile Announces Entry Level Noir A35 for Rs. 8,950" /><br />

Here are the full specs of the phone:<br />

<ul>
<li>Customized Android 4.2 Jelly Bean</li>
<li>4″ display with WVGA resolution of 480 x 800 pixels</li>
<li>11.4mm thick</li>
<li>Dual-sim compatibility</li>
<li>1.2Ghz dual-core processor</li>
<li>256 MB RAM with 512 MB expandable storage</li>
<li>2 megapixel rear-camera</li>
<li>VGA front-facing camera</li>
<li>1500 mAh battery</li>
<li>Price: Rs. 8,950</li>
</ul>
Priced at Rs. 8,950, you can’t get too wrong actually. At this level,
 you should probably even consider things like a lousy main-camera 
additional stuff. Forgive us for thinking too much.</div>

Samsung Releases the Mid-Range Galaxy Neo

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Samsung has announced a new phone, trying to give quite a rich feature-package for a comparatively low price, the Galaxy Neo.<br />

The Galaxy Neo comes with a 5″ display, a quad-core processor and a 5 megapixel HD camera.<br />

The display comes with a subpar resolution of 480 x 800 pixel 
resolution, which we think is a bit disappointing. The design is the 
same plastic which the company uses for the low-end phones.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Underneath, you will find a 1.2Ghz Cortex A7 quad-core processor, 
along with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB expandable internal storage. Around the 
back is the 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD video, accompanied by a VGA 
shooter on the front.<br />

The phone is powered by a 2,100 mAh battery, which is also removable.
 The version of OS is Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, obviously customized by 
Samsung.<br />

Here are the full specs of the phone:<br />

<ul>
<li>Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI</li>
<li>5″ display with resolution of 480 x 800 pixels</li>
<li>9.6mm thick</li>
<li>Weight: 163g</li>
<li>1.2Ghz Cortex A7 quad-core processor</li>
<li>1 GB RAM with 8 GB expandable storage</li>
<li>5 megapixel rear-camera with 720p HD video recording and LED Flash</li>
<li>VGA front-facing camera</li>
<li>Wi-Fi, 3G, FM Radio, microUSB 2.0, GPS</li>
<li>2,100 mAh battery</li>
</ul>
The phone will be available for $360 in the coming few weeks. So 
that’s Samsung’s try at doing (another) mid-range right. Do they succeed
 or not? We leave that up to you.</div>

Nokia Pakistan announced that the new <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/10/nokia-announces-three-asha-phones-two.html" target="_blank">Nokia Asha 500, 502 and 503</a> are available for purchase in Pakistan with 6 months free Telenor Talkshawk Internet.<br />

The new affordable smartphones are aimed at mid-range audience with 
their innovative Fastlane home screen, attractive new design and a 
deeper integration with social networks.<br />

Commenting on the new Nokia Asha range, Arif Shafique, country 
general manager, Nokia Pakistan said: “With the expansion of the Nokia 
Asha family, we bring three exciting smartphones for our consumers to 
suit their budget needs. The new Asha series has a stunning new design, a
 plethora of social networking apps and enhanced imaging quality. This 
way, millions of consumers across different price points will get access
 to smartphone technology”.<br />

Irfan Wahab Khan, chief marketing officer, Telenor Pakistan said on 
the occasion: “This is yet another example of the successful 
collaboration between Telenor Pakistan and Nokia. Introducing 
high-quality yet affordable smartphones with a very user-friendly social
 experience is in line with Telenor Pakistan’s ‘Internet for all’ 
strategy. We believe in bringing the internet experience to the masses 
of Pakistan, and Telenor’s free 6 months’ internet offering with these 
new Asha devices is aimed at encouraging people to utilize the true 
benefits of internet”.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
With the launch of the latest range of Asha smartphones, Nokia 
introduces the unique ‘dual shot’ design which combines an inner layer 
of bold, bright coloured shell surrounded by an outer layer of 
crystal-clear transparency. This distinctive combination enhances the 
durability of the device and surely makes the smartphone user stand out 
of the crowd. The high-end design brought to this price point is a clear
 differentiator, as are the craftsmanship and attention to detail.<br />

The Asha 500 offers a 2.8-inch screen, a 2-megapixel camera and 2G 
telephony while the Asha 502 comes with a 3-inch screen, and a 
5-megapixel camera with flash. At the top of the current family is the 
Asha 503, which has a 3-inch screen made from curved Gorilla Glass, a 
5-megapixel camera with flash, and 3.5G speeds.<br />

The Asha 500 and 503 come in single- and dual-SIM variants, with 
Nokia’s Easy Swap technology on dual-SIM, allowing users to swap cards 
without restarting the phone. While all three of these new phones come 
with the same software and stunning hardware design, the three offer 
hardware specifications that scale upwards by model number and price.<br />

As social networking is the need of the hour, these new devices allow
 the user to become more social across various social media. With 
Fastlane, users can create a personalized shortcut to the phone’s 
recently accessed apps, features and content, as well as future 
activity, such as calendar appointments.<br />

It’s the fastest way to access an app in its last state, as well as 
being the social hub of the new Nokia Asha 500, 502 and 503. Deeper 
integration with social networks now enables live updates, which alert 
people to likes and comments through notifications on Fastlane so they 
never miss an important update.<br />

Here are the prices:<br />

<ul>
<li>Nokia Asha 500: PKR 8,300</li>
<li>Nokia Asha 502 (Dual SIM): PKR 10,400</li>
<li>Nokia Asha 503 (Dual SIM): PKR 10,950</li>

According to a new report by IDC, the number of smartphone shipments 
in 2013 reached one billion for the first time ever. Scales were tipped 
just above the golden figure, at 1.004 billion units. The total mobile 
phone sales also reached 1.82 billion.<br />

The big names were responsible for the achievement. Samsung raked up 
most sales, selling a record 313.9 million smartphones, capturing 31.3% 
market share and marking a 42.9% year-on-year increase.<br />

Apple remained second after it sold 153.4 million smartphones.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
The Chinese giant, Huawei was third, managing to capture 4.9% of the 
market with 48.8 million phones sold. It along with LG and Lenovo was in
 for a tough battle, with the latter two selling 47.7 and 45.5 million 
smartphones respectively. Still, out of the three, Lenovo was a big 
winner with 91.7% increase in sales over last year.<br />

The “Others” portion, which includes names as HTC and Nokia 
constituted for 39.3% of the smartphones sold worldwide, which is bigger
 than any single company right now.<br />

The research firm also concluded that the biggest trends last year 
were the increase of display sizes and low cost phones. This was also 
the first year where the number of smartphones shipped was larger than 
that of feature-phones.<br />
