HTC[High Tech Computer] the taiwan based mobile phone handset maker has announced that its going to launch the Android based mobile phones in India by this December, also at almost same pricing which would be around Rs8200 while these google phones are sold at 179$.
Currently the HTC india is looking for tie-ups with Indian mobile operators who can launch and we can expect Airtel and Vodafone, because these 2 operators are quick in implementing new services and launching them like the Apple iPhone in India was launched.
Android is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices that was announced in November last year and developed by the Open Handset Alliance — a group comprising players like Google, HTC, Intel, Motorola and Samsung.
This new Google Phone – Andriod HTC Device is going to be a 3G phone with slider keyboard, GPS, Wifi-web browsing feature & Touch-screen. Currently HTC India already has partnership with Airtel and hence we can expect google phones with airtel in India very soon with a sales target of around a million handsets sold in India by 2009 end.
Read this article on Google Andriod Vs Apple iPhone and why these google phones are far more better than Apple iPhones.
how it is better than symbian or windows OS ??
Open Source platform
user friendly interface,faster app laoding
Pricing 8200 and odd. Are you sure on that??
At around 8K pricing these phones are really going to rock in the indian markets.
They will definitely rock if they are sold at the price of <$200
Price cant be RS 8200. It subsidized model price in USA.. It would be approx 20k-24k in India..
Yeh it’s an open source os like linux so google will also try to suceed whatever it introduces within one and half year G- Phone will be your favourite one… I am sure abou this….
Regarding upon OS now Symbian is cheap and best
If it is 8k in INDIA, then no other mobile can compete with Google G phone…It will always remain the king of the mobiles 🙂
Am waiting for the phone….
Can’t blieve abt d price…i thnk it wll b around 20-22k…
@ Sreenath – We are just expecting this price because still the handsets are not launched.
Hey,,, am developer of android. I am sure this phone has lots of facility to entertain you. This technology is an open source, so i am sure you will get free applications and upgrades. No other symbian or windows cannot do upgrades for mobiles.
I am sure.. if it launch in india it will cost around 20k..to 30k accordign to indian market…
it costs 160$ for usa people.
