1700 I Mobile: Just Seen in TV

Having nothing to do, I was channel hopping this morning before I came across a previously unnoticed channel, S 24. It looked like a local shopping channel. A guy with evening shadow and a good looking girl were strongly vouching for an unheard of mobile phone, 1700 I Mobile.

Is 1700 the company name? I don't know. On close look, you can see it is a 3G phone, with 2.2" LCD screen, QWERTY keypad dual camera, and tons of features seen in smart phones.

And, just like what you see in usual tele-shopping mumbo jumbo, they say the phone is coming at a huge discount of 76%. That is, an Rs.1800 mobile is now sold for ONLY Rs.4970. I haven't seen if there is something like cash back guarantee though.

The package would come with a free leather pouch, a free MP3 player, Rs.500 gift voucher, an extra battery, USB cable, user manual, and a chance to win cash prizes. Oh, the package will have the phone too. That is quite a deal.

The drooling features include an optical finger mouse (an optical version of touchpad), support for GPRS and 3G, JAVA, MP3 and MP4 player, video recorder, etc.

I noted the phone numbers to call from India: 9338522773 and 9338522772

My only experience with this phone is seeing it in TV, and that too only because our local cable TV operator decided to swap Animal Planet channel with this one for a few minutes.

I couldn't also find any online references to this mobile too.
