A new company known as Zer01 Mobile has apparently emerged in the market and it claims to be a phone carrier. It offers users unlimited voice and data for $70 per month, on SIM-unlocked smartphones. Zer01 Mobile now also has a roaming agreement with AT&T, but employs its very own IP. So calls going through AT&T’s data network use Zer01 proprietary VoIP services. This VoIP service from Zer01 application is a welcome thing, because it works seamlessly over AT&T’s GPRS and EDGE networks, when the 3G network is unavailable.

Zer01’s VoIP facility now works only with Windows Mobile 6, but the company plans to increase its reach by offering its services to the Android, BlackBerry, Symbian and Java platforms too, in the near future. The other good thing about Zer01 is that it does not require contracts – the service renews each month. The company will be launching a closed beta version in April and the full release will hopefully be on soon after that.

Gresso, always known for its wonderful lifestyle mobile phones, has now released the Lady Diamond, its own ode to femininity, just in time for Women’s Day. This most elegant mobile phone comes in flaming red color. As usual, the mobile phone case is executed of titanium, which means, the piece is almost immutable, while also very lightweight. The case itself is covered with high-tech ceramic of Magenta Diamond color. There is a singular diamond in the covering, which adds a magnificent radiance to the case.

The navigation keys are made of gold and crowned with 4 diamonds, totally 0.44K. The functional keys are made of 18K gold using ultra-precision turning technology. The front panel of the case is ornamented with a gold triangle, which is found in all Gresso phones. The open back is, as always, executed with sapphire crystal and the display screen is covered with 42K hand-polished sapphire glass. The battery cover too has the usual stainless steel magnetic lock, with the individual number laser-engraved under the battery cover.

The additional features include 2MP camera, 2GB memory, Internet Explorer, Outlook, GPRS, Bluetooth, WAP 2.0, voice recorder, MP3 player and USB sync.
