Cheapest Android Phone In The Market? Anyone?

imobile 6010 Cheapest Android Phone In The Market? Anyone?

We know that HTC Tattoo is the most affordable Android smartphone available here in Malaysia with retail price around RM1199 (could be cheaper out there).  What we’re (myself especially) not aware is that, there is almost unknown but cheaper Android smartphone available in out market. I’m talking about new genuine phone, not HTC looks alike, or Motorola looks alike Android smartphone made in China.

First discovered by Mytechnews blog, the smart phone known as I-Mobile 6010  is made by Samart aka i-Mobile, a Thailand based company. The phone is priced at RM868, just a fraction of HTC Magic or Hero price.

Apart from basic phone feature, the phone is equipped with touch screen (unsure capacitive or resistive), unknown Android version, 3. 2 Megapixel camera, EDGE , 256MB flash + 128MB DDRAM and etc. And according to the spec page, the phone has been around since last year. Erm, quite outdated phone already.

HTC HD2 Won’t Received Upgrade to Windows Phone 7 Series

 HTC HD2 Wont Received Upgrade to Windows Phone 7 Series

After so many rumors floating around since the day HTC HD2 first met users last year, it is now finally confirmed that HTC HD2 will stay as it is now. Joe Belfiore has confirmed to Engadget that HTC HD2 will not receive any update to Windows Phone 7 Series,  at MIX 10 event yesterday. The reason being is that HTC HD2 specification is not compliant with Windows Phone 7 Series requirement.

It’s pity that such as great device will end up being dumped just like that. It’s a bad day for HTC HD2 users as well, who put a high hope that this phone will receive upgrade in future, when they decide to switch to this phone before.  I can sense that the sale of HTC HD2 will be having free fall drop real soon after this new broke out.

To Microsoft, please re-consider!
