HTC Smart coming to India

There is a race to introduce low cost phones in India. HTC has too jumped on to the bandwagon and is planning to introduce the HTC Smart in India. The aim here is to tap the low budget buyers.


The HTC Smart was earlier called as the TouchB. The Taiwan based company plans to launch it at a very down to earth price of Rs 10,000. It has a 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen display. The phone works on the GSM band and has HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0. It comes with a A2DP, 3.5mm headset jack a 3MP camera with flash. It is powered by a 300 MHz processor and has MicroSD card support.

The phone will be competing directly with the Samsung Corby or LG Cookie or Nokia 5233. It may click well in the Indian market but has two major drawbacks. The first is the lack of Wi-Fi and GPS. The second is the absence of GPS.
