But as speculated by us early on, it has been priced at a hefty sum of Rs.36990. This amount is fairly large and will hardly give strong reason to smartphone buyers in India to buy it for themselves.

Tata Docomo is selling HTC HD2 with a plan of 500 MB of monthly download limit for first 6 months. Not great but not bad at all either.

But factually, if any of the mobile phone operator in India needs to tap into huge Indian market, there’s a strong need of cheap contractual smartphones with 3G infrastructure backing it up. And when will that happen ? Don’t expect anything like that before 2013 or may be later than that.

A monstrous touch screen(over 4 inches), 5MP camera with autofocus and LED Flash and lighterning fast processor, makes HTC HD2 stand apart. It may take years most other OEMs to beat such a swashbuckling hardware configuration.

But we feel sad to say that HTC, although going Android for almost all its High end smartphones, has exclusively gone for Windows Mobile 6.5 as its OS. To us, it seems thatHD2 is a

“Old Generation Software over a Next Generation Hardware“

The only reason HTC puts forward when questioned about No Android policy for HD2 is that they have to take care of Windows Mobile as well. Well, that’s just Microsoft !

Well, many folks are also interested when HTC HD2 is going to enter Indian markets. And at what cost will it priced. HTC has announced that HTC HD2 will enter European and Asian markets first and then U.S. markets will follow up.

It will soon be available in HTC retailers in India and the price is suspected to be between Rs.35-40k
