US edition costs $100 <= INR 4000/ Lagta hai Palm India wants to promote Grey Market. With 13,990/- one can buy three Centro.

$100 is with a two year contract, they are otherwise about $350-400, so I think the Indian price is actually great, and indicates Palm that, for once, wants to be a serious contender here.

Guys, I got mine yesterday from PDA Cafe @ Forum Mall Bangalore. Its available for 14500 Rs. Its beautiful. Having used Windows mobiles, I am amazed at the speed and the intuitiveness of the interface. It scores 7/10 on the beauty of the user interface, but 10/10 on usability of the interface.
