The max right price for a mobile.

Some new phones are going to jump into the market this quarter like Motorola Atrix and HTC sensation S, Sony experia and arc.
I always wonder whats the right price for a mobile, when ever i buy one, but i could never judge. But recently since the high end phone had come, i had been carrying out a kind of market research on what's the max someone in India would pay for a phone. The answer is currently its 30,000 Indian rupees. Take iPhone 4 or 3GS it din do well in India, because of wrong pricing. I had spent the past few months talking to people who buy almost a phone in two to three months and all i could get was a max of 30k.

If its below 25k you will have real good no of people buying. And if its below 20, then thats what is happening to Defy, and if its less than 10k, then you will know the reason why Corby is selling hot cakes, even today.

30k max, mobile companies should realise.

Flipkart, hats off, you guys kept your word

In the recent times www.flipkart.com has been doing great. I have never bought anything from the site, so i don have any idea about their service. But i was stunned to see HTC's HD7,Windows 7 phone available on their site, they kept the word, i went to their site last month and they had put that they will start delivering the phone from 15th Dec, and they really did it.What is so great about this ? HD7 is currently not available with any dealers in India, its available only in the black market and the price is some where around Rs.35000, but on flipkart its Rs.29999. I have no idea how they did this, by convincing HTC to launch their HD7 model on their site, hats off, real strategy.
And this is not the first time they did this, when Samsung Galaxy Tab was released, they are the only guys who had a discount on it.
