HTC G1 coming to India, shows up on Univercell’s site

on November 25, 2008 – 1:51 pm5 Comments

As we had predicted before ,  the HTC G1 which we unboxed earlier is coming soon to India.

HTC might bundle the handset with an Airtel Connection like RIM does for BlackBerry. HTC also offers a few phones exclusively on Airtel. Univercell shows this phone as coming soon and its priced at Rs.25000 or 500 USD

This is an interesting price point as iPhone 3G , Omnia and Xperia are all more costly than G1

G1 is definitely not a phone you would buy for its looks .. But still these are the phones which are making the news these days .

Would you buy the G1 for 25000 ?


Our feeling is that that HTC might sell this handset unlocked unlike the Apple iPhone which is a dismal failure in terms of sales .

    Finally one of the most anticipated device comes to India. Will be waiting to try this out. Thanks Varun for the information. I think for 25,000 there will be many takers to it. Given the fact that it has a open source OS, many developers in India can try their hands on developing some good and cool applications. What do you say?

    Vikram,

    There are a lot of companies developing android applications in India . Developers with a Java background can easily build applications for the google platform.
