A new karma definition


I’m aware of the fact that people’s mind goes to one direction and one direction only when they hear the word “karma”. According to Wikipedia, “Karma is the concept of ‘action’ or ‘deed’ in Indian religions understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect (i.e. the cycle called saṃsāra) originating in ancient India and treated in Hindu, Jain, Sikh and Buddhist philosophies”.

No one would blame you for not thinking about the new Motorola device that has just been announced by the company, in collaboration with AT&T. Those who are interested in cell phones more than they are in Indian religion should know that the Karma QA1 first appeared in the spotlight at the beginning of this year, back in February.



According to the company, the phone is aimed at teenagers and young adults, being a quick messaging and social networking device. The features of the Karma QA1 include text messaging, instant messaging, easy access, directly from the homescreen, to Facebook and MySpace, a QWERTY keyboard that slides out, a display with high resolution and access to AT&T’s 3G network, the CrystalTalk technology, for a better sound without the background noise, a 2.0 megapixel camera, JuiceCaster support, a service gives the user the chance to connect with friends and share all sorts of pictures and videos with them, 3.5mm headphone jack.

“Unique visitors to Facebook from AT&T’s MEdia Net portal grew over 100% in 2008”, said Michael Woodward, the Vice President of Mobile Phone Portofolio, at AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “Karma’s one-click access to Facebook and MySpace will resonate with customers who are committed to keeping up with social networking sites on the go”.

If you are interested in this new karma definition, then you should know that the Motorola phone is expected to become available starting June 28th in select AT&T stores or online, for a price of $79.99 after a mail-in rebate as long as you’re willing to sign a contract agreement for two years.
