A few days ago it was let slip that the very first Indian Intel-based smartphone would be debuted in India. Don’t go crazy about the word Intel in there. Many people are headlining it to be the first ever Intel smartphone. Don’t believe it. Before now, Blackberry and Nokia have used Intel in their phones, but supposedly it is a new idea in India. The phone is named the XOLO X900 and is produced by Lava, an Indian manufacturer. The phone is built with some decent specifications, including an eight megapixel camera, a 4.03 inch display, 3G capability, and 1080p HD video playback. Also, with the Lava XOLO X900 appearing in India on April 23, the BlackBerry Curve 9330 is to be released into the Indian cell phone market. The BlackBerry, similar to the XOLO X900 isn’t glimmering with neat gadgets and out-of-this-world specs, but it includes some great social networking capabilities. Apparently RIM is after the younger generation of smartphone users with this particular phone. We don’t know if the Lava XOLO X900 will be subsidized for users buying into data contracts with service companies. The device is set to cost about 22,000 rupees, which translates into about $424.
