Micromax to Launch IIFA Edition Q55 Phone

Micromax is all set to launch the IIFA Edition of its Q55 handset at the upcoming IIFA Award function scheduled to be held in Sri Lanka on June 5.

The Q55 is an existing handset from Micromox's growing portfolio of products. The latest edition of the phone known as the Q55 Bling, comes embedded with Swarovski Elements and IIFA insignia on the back of the phone. The special edition device also comes loaded with IIFA content including video of the previous IIFA editions. The phone is also ready to be sold in Sri Lanka where Micromax has tied up with Sri Lankan operator Dialog. Users in Sri Lanka will get a Dialog SIM with the handset.
In India, the phone will be available starting June 3 and will cost Rs. 5,500 which amazingly is the same price at which the "original" Q55 retails.

As for the features, the Q55 is a rather odd looking handset. It is a dual band phone (not dual SIM!) and boasts of a 262K color QVGA (320*240 pixels) display, 2.4-inches across. It also has a slide out QWERTY keypad and a decent 2.0 MP camera. The phone is social networking friendly and comes with an integrated Facebook app as well as Opera Mini.


The phone supports Bluetooth and is fully EDGE/GPRS/WAP/MMS compatible. It has 10MB of internal memory and a slot for microSD cards as well. The Li-ion battery is rated at (850mAh) and gives a talk time of up to 1-4 hours and a standby time of up to 180 hours.
