Just when we thought the trend of Touch and Type has not been doing too well in the market, Karbonn decided to take this feature to its entry-level users. The company has launched the new touch and type Karbonn KT-21 Express with key highlights, like Smart Mail-Karbonn’s Push Mail solution, Karbonn Instant Messenger (KIM) and NexgTV, sporting an affordable price tag of 4,490. The Karbonn handset comes integrated with faster push mail services, and provides users with e-mail on the go. The Karbonn Smart Mail is powered by Emoze, allowing users secure access to both enterprise and personal e-mail accounts, synchronize e-mail contacts and calendar, view office attachments, send voice messages via e-mail and chat in real-time.

Mr. Shashin Devsare, Executive Director, Karbonn Mobiles said, “Both in urban and rural India, today entertainment is on the move. A larger chunk of consumers are looking for affordable phones with larger screens, effective UI, long lasting battery and, above all, the functionality that fits their mobile entertainment.
