TATA DoCoMo has unveiled that the HTC Desire will be added to it’s ever growing Android portfolio in India. The phone will be available for Rs. 28,900 (about $620) across all HTC resellers across the nation. That may seem pretty steep, but keep in mind that it will be sold as an unlocked device with no strings attached (you can even use it on a pre-pay plan if you want).
The carrier is sweetening the deal by bundling the device with 6 months of free data (500MB per month). Once you buy the phone, you will have to text “Android” to 54321 to activate the free data offer.
For anyone that doesn’t remember, the HTC Desire comes with a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 3.7-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, Android 2.1 (upgradable to Android 2.2 Froyo) with HTC Sense UI running on top of it, 5-megapixel camera and front-facing camera for video calls, HSPA and WiFi connectivity, GPS, microSD memory card slot and all the other usual smartphone specs. That’s pretty much the same specs as the Nexus One for anyone that wishes they had bought one before it was discontinued.
