Intended to again create benchmarks in the smart phone category, DataWind’s new products break the affordability barriers of smartphones and bandwidth constraints of cellular networks to deliver calling facility and internet access to anybody who can afford a simple mobile phone. Currently simple phones in the market cost as much as the smart phone on offer by DataWind,” says Suneet Singh Tuli, CEO of DataWind.
The phones will be available in India soon. The price of PocketSurfer5X, PocketSurfer5 and PocketSurfer3GX are Rs. 3,499, Rs. 4,999 and Rs. 6,499, respectively.
