Karan claimes he sends 200-300 messages everyday.
The previous Guinness record was held by Britain’s James Trusler who typed the same message in 67 seconds.

"Topping the Panasonic X700 is something that's hard to do. After all, Panasonic's first - and, until now, only - smartphone still remains one of the smallest smartphones in existence a year after its unveiling. With the X800, unveiled today at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, the handset maker has managed to improve on an already excellent recipe, creating the world's slimmest smartphone to date.
To be available in select Asian markets next month, the X800 is extremely sleek with a thickness of only 17 mm, in which Panasonic has integrated a 1.3 MP camera capable of taking both stills and recording video. A miniSD card expansion slot is provided for memory expansion, and the device will also come with QuickOffice software providing compatibility with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint and Word documents.
Not only sleek but also light, the X800 offers a more up-to-date design than the X700, and despite not running the final version of its firmware proved snappy during my short hands-on session. Pictures taken with the megapixel camera appeared to be of relatively high quality - comparatively speaking - and the viewfinder refresh rate was also comfortable.
Despite being close to flush with the surface of the phone, the X800's keypad offered comfortable tactile feedback. Another positive trait would be the crisp, clear and unusually bright screen, which offers 24-bit colour depth and as such is capable of drawing from a palette of up to 16 million colours.
The only possible hardware drawback of the X800 is that it's a tad long and unwieldy when opened, but not bothersomely so - and besides, I found it refreshing using a phone which doesn't invoke the urge to move the device back and forth between the ear and mouth when having a conversation."
"There's good reason for my silly behaviour, though, as the VS3's 300-candela display is quite simply stunningly bright and clear. Much like users of Sony Vaio laptops just can't go back, owners of a Panasonic VS3 will be able to boast almost unparalelled brightness, and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and 2.2' size further benefit the impression.
It's not all about the display, though, as the VS3 also features an ultra-slim form factor much reminiscent of the Panasonic X800 which was also on display at CeBIT. As is the case with the X800, the VS3 is a tad on the long side when opened, but its light weight and good ergonomics help mitigate this somewhat.
The VS300 is also blessed with a keypad with good tactile feedback despite limited travel, and boasts a well-developed range of features including a 1.3 Megapixel camera, Infrared, J2ME MIDP 2.0 support, USB connectivity and video recording functionality - yet oddly, there's no support for Bluetooth. "
" We've know that the Sliver V8 was coming for quite some time, and today at 3GSM in Cannes, France, Motorola decided to show the latest in their new ultra-thin line of phones that started with the RAZR V3 last year.
The Sliver is a candy bar form factor handset, but this candy bar doesn't have much room for a lot of sugar inside. It measures a mere 11.5mm (.45") in thickness, which is much thinner than most other similar handsets on the market. Full dimensions are 49mm x 113.5mm x 11.5mm at 85g (3.4oz). Like its sister product, the RAZR V3, the Sliver makes use of a large TFT display.
It is a triband GSM device that, like the PEBL V6 that was also introduced today, will be offered in two versions. 900/1800/1900Mhz for most of the world and 850/1800/1900Mhz for the Americas. Both versions support EDGE high speed data. Motorola gave the Sliver V8 a rather large 820mAh battery that the company claims will be good for anywhere from 250 to 380 minutes of talk time and from 310 to 420 hours of standby time - a lofty claim indeed.
Like the RAZR and the PEBL, the Sliver has an integrated VGA camera with a 4x digital zoom capability. And like the PEBL that it was introduced alongside of, it sports 5MB of storage for photos, videos, and sounds files. Speaking of which, you can both capture and play MPEG4 video with the Sliver.
Push-To-Talk also seems to be getting a push here at 3GSM - Nokia earlier announced new PTT handsets. Likewise, the Sliver also supports PTT with full presence indication. There is also a hands free speakerphone, a MP3 player, and Bluetooth in there. Naturally MMS and SMS support is there, as well as POP and IMAP email support. Lastly, the Sliver supports JAVA MIDP v2.0, offering the ability to add advanced games and applications.
Motorola expects the Sliver V8 to be available in Q3 of 2005. Estimated pricing information is unavailable at this time.

"Moto’s going all out today! The SLVR V8 has specs much like it’s new sibling, the PEBL V6: it’s got tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE data capabilities (which means we’ll most likely see this show up on Cingular), a 262k color 176x220 display, Bluetooth, 5MB internal memory, an MPEG4 VGA video camera, speakerphone, MP3 playback software (for running off its TransFlash slot), and, surprisingly, push-to-talk capabilities (well, maybe not so surprising if you’ve been following the rumor mill, which estimates Cingular will launch PTT service this year). The handset will be a diminutive 4.46 x 1.92 x 0.45-inches—easily small enough to get lost in a tight pair of jeans. Hallelujah"
