For the first time they have introduced phones with proper pricing from the start, otherwise they start too high and then come down gradually and so does the quality at times.

E60 is already available for 17k so a official price of 19k to 22k is crap

You have always used technology in a very innovative way by not only designing you product but also by adding new features to it which other Mobile Manufacures are unable to do so. You always say up to date with new technology even in this competetive market. I which you good luck for you future.
