Would be impressive if prices in 7~8 K range, or else nothing great specification in this phone, though its hardware and UI would be far better than Micromax/Karbonn/Spice...

 

[Sushubh]

knowing HTC they are going to price it in the range of Rs. 10-12k.

Yeah.. It will be priced that much initially, but wont be surprised it it drops to 9k & saturates there. I think thats the low-end mark they would have for this mobile.

it frustrates me that HTC is still churning out phones with 600/800MHz processors. why not make 1GHz the bare minimum? Even Nokia has switched to 1GHz for their budget segment smartphones. 😕

 

[mhsabir]

I get the feeling that they fixed a price & then discussed what they can fit in it when they came up with the plan for this phone 😕

I am not sure where they got this figure as it is not mentioned in the press release.
