Speed Up My PC

Microsoft is aware of the fact that , in a developing economies & emerging markets like India, mobile devices with higher prices may not generate the volumes as expected! Microsoft has therefore tied with most active cell phone distribution company in India, Nokia.

Sudeep Bharati, director at developer tools for Microsoft India’s Visual Studio Team, has confirmed this news in Microsoft’s TechEd 2010 event.

According to initial reports, this Windows Phone 7 mobile handsets, will feature 5MP camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, small multitouch screen and 128 MB RAM. The low cost model will also be different from version 1 to be launched at the end of this year.

As far as price is concerned, it will cost around $500-$600 which works out to around INR 25-30000.

Microsoft’s strategy of producing special versions of Windows Phone 7 mobile devices looks great. Lets wait & see how it goes.

    25K for a mobile would still be a bit costly for most of us.

    Its prices are higher than Iphone for sure..Since iphone is for 27 or 32 k , 25k would b better.. Plus you wont have any restriction of using it with only 1 service provider as in case of iphone..

    Windows Mobile phones have traditionally cost around Rs.15000 in India. Anything more than that is too much.

    c’mon…stop comparing to iphone…this one has better features like xbox live and windows os is open source…u could get any type of app on it…stay connected everywhere is a good move…

    #nikki, Windows os is not open source and more over you cannot get any type of app on Windows Phone 7, there is Windows Marketplace to get applications, just like iPhone’s AppStore. The bottom line is Windows will always be flexible when compared to iPhone OS.

    fake news…They are not going to launch any phone below the standard specification…Phones with carrier contract will cost much lower than their unlocked prices…
    see for yourself $199(45.54) = Rs ~10000

    True. For instance I recently bought an unlocked WP7 in Paris for Euro 599. The same phone, with a carrier contract, was available for “around” Euro 100 !
