Unfortunately, the Nokia N95 8GB(Click here for Nokia N96) of on-board memory is non-expandable, which has its limitations. The main issue is that unlike a removable memory card, you have to use the USB cable and can’t use a card reader.

Global Companies and Indian companies are all facing a recession and are all in the process of cutting jobs. We have seen companies like Jet Airways and Kingfisher not only removing staff but also cutting salaries. It is not only the airline sector but all the sectors are shedding staff to prepare better for the tough days ahead.

Global operations of Pepsi, Financial Companies and Banks like HSBC, Citibank, Fidelity Investments, Royal Bank of Scotland, Morgan Stanley, Tech majors like Sun Microsystems, Steel Comanies like US Steel and Arcelor Mittal, Telecom Companies like British Telecom and Nokia and vehicle manufacturers like Volvo, Ford and GM are all looking to cut staff costs.

In times of recession and slowing of business companies across the world do reduce their staff strength to save costs. So if you are a sacked employee or fear that you may get a pink slip in times to come, it time you plan you way through this crisis.

Whats “Pink Slip”? As per Wikipedia “Pink slip refers to the American practice, by a personnel department, of including a discharge notice in an employee’s pay envelope to notify the worker of his or her termination of employment or layoff”.

Here are 3 things you can do in a Pink Slip situation:

1. Get a decent send off financially from your company: Most companies would end up giving in the region of 3 - 6 months pay as part of the send off package. Make sure you keep this money carefully as it will take ayou some time to find a job in such tough times. In case you have some loans like a Home Loan or a Car Loan then make sure you keep provision to make sure you keep these payments going. You dont want to be hounded by loan collectors. Also, if you are expecting some problems - dont borrow. You also might want to find some bank who will restructure you loan if possible. You can also ask you parents or close friends for money if that is not going to spoil your relationship with them.

2. Start looking for a job well in advance: Here are some of the Job Sites that can be useful to find a job.  The top job sites in India are Naurki.com, Monster.com, Clickjobs.com, Timesjob.com, Rediff Jobs and obviously Mybandra.com. Don’t hesitate to compromise on salary as your topmost priority should be have a job. Get a list of job consultants in your area and start meeting or writing to them. Spend some time and make a good resume to highlight you past experience and projects. Get help in making a resume if needed from your local job consultants. Get tips on how to handle job interviews and group discussions and update yourself by spending time reading.

3. Aggressively start reducing your expenses: Reduce your entertainment, rethink what and where you eat when you go out, what brand of alchohol to drink, can you walk instead of driving to the market, etc. Your next priority should be your grocery expenses. You should come down heavily on your socialising expenses including outings to hotels, multiplexes, vacations etc. Postpone all such expenses. Ask your maid to take a break for three months or till the time you find a new job. It is better you start doing your own laundry, utensils and ironing.

Nokia Just announced the launch of their new flagship cell phone, the Nokia N97. We present the specifications, features and information about the Nokia N97. The new N97 is a 5-inch, 640 x 360 pixel screen, giving you an aspect ratio of 16:9. Did we forget to mention that the display is also touchscreen like a lot of new phones coming in the market after the super successful Apple iPhone. Nokia is betting big on the N97 and this is visible from the specs of Nokia N97 and the features of the N97.

Nokia is calling the N97 a special phone by saying that it is the “world’s most advanced mobile computer.” Let’s see if the specs of the Nokia N97 can back up this huge claim by Nokia. The 32GB onboard memory, as well as a microSD expansion, up to 48GB, is a huge leap above the Apple iPhone. The phone also features HSDPA, WiFi and 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss glass. The Nokia N97 was announced to the world in Barcelona.

At the launch Nokia called the Nokia N97 its flagship multimedia phone for 2009. It is no doubt the most exciting product to come from Nokia in some time. Nokia Product managers were calling it the “Facebook Phone” because it’s aimed at mobile social networkers and heavy users. The key specs of the N97 are: tri-band HSDPA 3G support; 802.11b/g Wi-Fi; aGPS and standalone GPS; 3.5-inch touch-resistive touch screen that measures 640-by-360 pixels in a 16:9 wide-screen format; 32 GB of built-in memory, with support for another 16 GB with the addition of a microSD card; 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, LED flash, and video capture at 30 frames per second; on-board accelerometer and compass; and support for Flash Lite 3.0 and Flash Video in the browser.

As for the hardware of the Nokia N97, the preview units shown at the launch by Nokia were literally built by hand and the product managers couldn’t stress enough that they are many generations away from being final. The screen, QWERTY sliding keyboard and the huge memory makes N97 a phone that can finally compete with the Apple iPhone. What Nokia is most excited about was the revised home screen. The new home screen features a revamped interface, resembling that of the 5800 XpressMusic. It has built-in access to social networking functions, such as Facebook and MySpace. The home screen is fully customizable, so users can set it up to match their usage.

This is probably one of the best answers from Nokia (and othe mobile companies) to the Apple iPhone yet. It will be priced at about $695 or Rs 35,000 and in expected to his the Market in 2009 Mid.

Nokia’s touch screen phone is finally in the preview stage. The 5800 XpressMusic is all set to launch soon as Nokia’s challenge to Google’s phone and Apple iPhone. Its called or nicknamed the Tube and the device has a number of typical Nokia stuff as is visible on the various videos on YouTube.

The LCD is 640 x 360. The dull screen surface cuts down on glare, but casual users often prefer glossy screens for watching visual stuff like images and video. We hear that the speaker is very loud. It’s not the clearest thing in the world, but if you want to share a song or something with a friend, they’ll certainly hear it loud and clear. The 3.2 megapixel camera is getting good reviews and is said to focus well and takes great pictures. It also had things like GPS, WiFi and a side-loading microSD slot (there will be a free 8GB card hopefully). It is wrapped up into an elongated, chubby package, hence the Tube. Its probably too big to put in the pocket of a tight pant but still a nice size. It will also come with apps like Nokia Maps.

It’s a S60 series phone, which is so popular in India and from the look of it you will not be disappointed. Nokia’s seems to have done enough to turn the traditional interface into touchable one, nicely sized icons, adding finger-friendly buttons unlike the iPhone. What Nokia probably hasn’t quite figured out is consistency, requiring double taps in some places, single taps in others. It is said that, scrolling through most lists requires dragging a scroll bar, pulling down as the list flies up, but the browser has touch and drag scrolling. But then the advantage is that most of us are using some S60 phone and we will get used to it quickly.

What’s seems to be new is a touch-sensitive button above the screen that drops down the Media Bar for access to music, movies, photos, the browser and sharing. There’s also a new home screen with a “Fav Four” of sorts across the top and little else. Tap and you can get a quick look at recent calls, messages and even related RSS feeds. Luckily, the traditionally familiar S60 home screen is also available.

From the videos it is clear that you can input by handwriting, mini QWERTY keyboard, full screen QWERTY and alphanumeric keypad. The first two can be used thru a stylus-based tap. The phone looks too narrow to work well with QWERTY in portrait and has to be used in landscape mode only. Creating or inputting SMS in our SMS crazy country could be a nightmare as I discovered while using the iPhone also.

It doesn’t seem that the touchable browser is a step up over existing WebKit implementations on Nokia’s other handsets. The tap to zoom function seems slow and unreliable. Reviews of the browsing experience are probably not as good as the iPhone of the Google Phone. Still, there’s no doubting the advantages of viewing the web on a 640 x 360 LCD.

Games, Movies and Music seem to be this phone’s killer apps. With Nokia’s super marketing muscle in India they will surely make this a big story.
