Motorola and AT&T have jointly launched a new handset dubbed the Karma QA1 noted for its quick messaging and social networking features.

With this phone users can blog, tweet and text easily with the slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It features a hi-resolution display and allows homescreen access to social-networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace in addition to text and instant messaging. The hi-fi 3G connections help users maintain multiple mobile communications.

IM-style texting is integrated into the phone and allows users to view all messages at the same time. With the aid of easy scrolling navigation, users can keep in touch with all conversations and stay connected. It also supports Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and other such Instant Messaging services.

A unique aspect of the phone is the CrystalTalk technology which intelligently differentiates between background noise and user-voice all the while reducing the former and amplifying the latter to provide incredible voice-quality.

The phone comes with a 2.0 megapixel camera that provides high resolution video and image-capturing. The phone includes JuiceCaster that ensures faster connectivity with close-ones. The phone also comes with AT&T navigator which is available for a free trial period of 30 days.

All these features are enclosed in a sleek and trendy bodycase.

The Karma QA1 will be available from June 28 online at wireless.att.com for around INR Rs. 7,000.
