Motorola wants to tattoo a mic on your throat source: Apple patented iWatch name. Samsung patented metal body for smartphones. And guess what Motorola has patented now? A technology that tattoos a microphone on your throat, complete with power supply, antenna, receiver and even an optional display! According to the patent application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office, this tattoo on the throat will act as a standard microphone that will pair with mobile devices over Bluetooth, NFC and ZigBee networks. The microphone will pick up vibrations straight from the larynx (or voice box in layman's terms) in the throat, thus eliminating the background noise that many calls suffer from and make for clearer voice quality during calls. Motorola's patent filing says: "The electronic skin tattoo is capable of receiving an initialization signal at the controller and from the MCD (mobile communication device) to initiate reception of an audio stream picked up from the throat region of the body for subsequent audio detection by the MCD under an improved signal-to-noise ratio than without employing the electronic skin tattoo." The filing says that the tattoo can be applied on animals as well and can be embedded into a collar or band (both flexible and stiff) that is worn around the neck. And that's not all. Motorola's throat tattoo will double up as a lie detector too! The patent filing says: "Optionally, the electronic skin tattoo 200 can further include a galvanic skin response detector to detect skin resistance of a user. It is contemplated that a user that may be nervous or engaged in speaking falsehoods may exhibit different galvanic skin response than a more confident, truth telling individual." This is certainly one of the most unique ways of tapping into the world of wearable computing, which is witnessing a huge interest, thanks to Samsung and Sony's smartwatches and Google Glass.

If at all all you say is true Yogesh then I can say good times ahead RCDMA users

Reliance EVDO Rev B. Multicarrier Successfully Tested and Implemented in Halol, Gujarat BTS towers. Next is Chennai, Non 3G circle with lower voice traffic or spare 1x Spectrum will be given priority.

You think the same will be applicable on Indian release. In any case this will make it the most affordable high end handset with Indian omh support. I can easily get it from USA through friends.Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2 As I pointed out here, the cdma version D820 is only made for North America, every other country(which ever is getting Nexus 5) in the world will get D821(GSM version with no CDMA support). They(google) clearly pointed this out in the official specks by naming only two modesl D820(CDMA version for North America) & D821(rest of the world with only GSM support). You can check this out in the first post of this forum. Yogesh, as I said in my PM to you, if you can get Sprint version $99(contract price) it is unbeatable price, I presume from your posts that your brother is using Sprint network in US, since he is a customer of Sprint he can get it unlocked so that it can be used with any GSM in India, even if it is locked by Sprint, so for you it won't be problem. But for others I advise to get clear information before buying a Sprint version whether it is locked by Sprint or not. I also recommend buying directly from Google play store, you get better price & no tension. Because my thinking is that if Sprint is subsidising the phone & selling phone for just $99 means they most probably will lock it(with new software lock they are implementing starting from HTC One).

^ You can instead flash rooted stock ROM. Much easier as compared to returning to stock, then flashing RUU, then OTA, then unlock bootloader and then again root! Follow it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467607

As pointed out earlier, there is no separate sprint version. Nexus 5 sold on US play store is model D820 which is multi band capable & supports both GSM & CDMA band as follows, GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10 WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19 LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41 Google has said on support pages that D820 is unlocked model. So it should work for GSM worldwide. CDMA band support 0/1/10 means it supports indian CDMA operator bands. I have a feeling that it may work out of the box with indian CDMA SIM, if not for DATA atleast for voice/SMS. M.S. Raju should pop in an activated CDMA SIM in his Nexus 5 as soon as he receives it & update here.

HTC UK has just announced the Gramohorn II, an unusual 3D-printed speaker dock for the HTC One. This audio enhancer looks like a modern art interpretation of the classic gramophone speakers used in the past. It was created by the British designer Justin Wolter during HTC's “Here's to Creativity” campaign, which celebrates the company's 17 years of "innovation and breakthrough in the mobile industry".
