The New Delhi native dips his flat naan bread into a dish of spinach curry in the air-conditioned comfort of a friend's private club. On the table lies Kedia's prized possession, an Ericsson feature-loaded mobile phone with PDA-like functions that cost him nearly $400, almost as much as an average Indian earns in a year.

I admit I had my doubts at first. The cheap, plastic stylus and the miniature virtual keyboard that pops up onscreen do not immediately inspire confidence. But with a little practice, anyone with good eyesight and a steady hand can get used to writing with it. The PC software that Sony Ericsson includes for loading MP3s onto the phone never did work...
