Google Android Mobile Phone India Launch Dates Announced

After trying Google Android Online Emulator, I am almost decided to buy this phone, and the good news is the Google Android (also known as The Google Phone) powered HTC phones will be available in India by end of this year in December, The company is in-talks with major mobile operator's for launching the product.

Google Android

However, don't expect the prices similar to US markets which is around Rs 8,200 ($179), Ajay Sharma, country manager, HTC (India) hinted this saying : "the Indian market does not work on the handset subsidy model".

This phone does have the potential to be the iPhone Killer, if offered at a reasonable price (Less then Rs. 20,000) in India this phone would definitely be a huge hit.

I doubt unless the handsets are fairly priced. You saw what happened with iphone. The operators dont even have the 3G network yet and still they are priced at 30-35k INR. Whos mad to buy at this price? Sure there are some, but not the masses.

YOU ALL ARE FOOLS to price this mobile at such a high cost in india.As rightly said, it will fail like iphone.

Be a smart competetor.you think people are fool to buy your idiot mobile at such a high price.

we hope that the mobile will be at a price which most people will come forward to buy,coz we are eagerly waiting for its launch.

good luck.

That was the intent of developing Android platform.
30 open source technologies are integrated to reduce the cost of phone.
And Google model of software distribution is way different when compared to Apple.
So it should be quite equivalent to US price or little more.

it is may 2009 and the phone is still nowhere being launched in india!
i think it won't be lanuched till 3g is available in india.. which will probably still take ages!
:@ :@ :@ hurry up google or htc or t-mobile or whoever!

Guys if you are not pricing the phone properly you may loose the market. Look at the Auto makers they understood the Indian ( Asian ) Market now we have more cars for less then 5 Lks Which is affordable .. if the same logic is not used Nokia is going to be the number 1 in Mobile handsets...

Think about it..

But not at the compromising levels.
I wanted to try an android phone. But my budget says nooo..
I almost decided upon the samsung corby pro.
But it doesnt have auto focus!! wtf.. :(

Seriously y u have to keep the prices high in India..

You describe yourself as king of fools

Yes, this type of phone is going to common now.
Dual System: Windows and Google Android. I saw a cell phone that provides the Dual System (windows and google android), GPS and WIFI etc..

plz mr. ajay sharma have some sense before making the announcements openly.....you say that the cell phones will be costing at the range of 20,000. do you think a normal person with a casual salary can afford it...
if these cell phones are made for people like you then why are you launching it???? better to keep it at your house itself!!!!

Google android phones will definitely make a huge impact on the Indian smartphone market. There are millions of customer waiting to be leveraged.
