i want its cost in pune
Please clarify about whether its 3G or else. If its not a 3G version in india, then why one should waste money. Considering the modern era it will be a stupid step to launch a phone lacking 3G.
WHAT WILL BE COST
yes this phone is 3G. It is a touch screen, smart phone and also incorporates GPS, so you can install navigation software on to the phone.
