Airtel Launches HTC HD7 in India at Rs. 29,990/-. The phone is a multimedia beast with its 4:3″ SLCD screen, 16gb internal storage, multimedia kickstand for handsfree movie experience and underlying Zune Music experience. Purchasing the phone from Airtel makes you eligible to enjoy mobile internet (2GB data download per month) for 6 months at a special price of Rs. 300.
This is officially the first Windows Phone 7 device to launch in India. Ajay Sharma, HTC’s country head for India, called WP7 “an entirely fresh mobile experience” and Airtel’s CMO Shireesh Joshi sounded just as happy about the tie up. Under the hood you get a 1GHz Snapdragon, 576MB RAM and a 5MP camera with dual LED flash that does 720p HD video.
Now about the price, Rs. 29,990 sounds a bit steep when the phone has already been floating around in the market for about Rs. 27,000, and Flipkart is listing it at Rs. 28,999 with free home delivery. But the Airtel route gets you the data pack, so pick your poison!! The phone is available at all authorised HTC resellers across India. We’ll try to get our hands on one soon, so stay tuned.
