Brahmi Smart Phones

E-mail

Hindi Phone

For most Indians, the cell phone is a critical communication tool. It offers all Indians seamless connectivity to the Internet.

Telugu Phone

Cell phone companies are realizing that it is impossible to squeeze Indian languages onto numeric keypads. Thus, there are no usable Indic phones on the market.

Brahmi Indian language keypads are immediately usable by Indians who are literate in their language. See the Smart Phones Quickview (above left) for images of Hindi and Telugu Phones.
