Tech Ticker

Reliance Communications (RCom) in association with HTC announced to bring the CDMA variant of Touch Diamond phone (P3051) to the Indian market. RCom says the phone is a small effort from them to bring state-of-the-art phones to their loyal customers. But with such an exorbitant price, I think their loyalty will surely take a hit. It costs a whopping Rs. 39,900 ($801), almost Rs. 13,000 ($261) premium over the GSM version. Somebody please give me Rs. 13K worth of reasons to buy this rather than the GSM Touch Diamond.

The feature set is the same which includes: Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, 2.8-inch display, 4GB internal memory, TouchFLO 3D, 3.2-megapixel camera and GPS.
