Love that touchscreen, but hate to type on it? A few phones such as the Sony Xperia 10 mini and the Nokia X3 allow you to do both, but Karbonn mobile is now rolling out the feature to entry level users. The new touch and type Karbonn KT-21 Express, priced at Rs 4,490 also comes with Karbonn Instant Messenger (KIM) - modeled on the hugely popular BlackBerry BBM feature.
