HTC entered india with a bang a couple of months back. Hitherto available only through resellers like O2 and i-mate, HTC devices are now available as branded HTC itself. The company priced the launchtime handsets, the Touch and S710 very aggressively - in fact cheaper than the european market - which led to some remarkable sales numbers during the first few weeks. I heard that Touch is in great demand and dealers are running short of supply! Indeed it is a sleek device. Probably the best looking Windows Mobile device ever.
As a result of HTC's pricing, O2 and i-mate also reduced the prices, which means you can get a brand new WM device starting from about INR 12K. That is an amazing price point considering that you had to shell out atleast 25K a couple of months back to get a good WinMobile phone.

After the iPhone has been successfully unlocked by the community, the Indian black market is suddenly flooded with iPhones. I think the black market merchants were just waiting for the opportunity. What is disturbing is that these phones are sold at an astronomical price which may give a heart attack to even his Steveness.
The front page of rediff Shopping (a great source of illegally imported electronic goods) shows an iPhone for INR 59,999 which, according to todays' conversion rate is a whopping US $1450. Only a FOOL (a fool in capital letters) will offer to buy the iPhone at this price.
