Olive Telecom launches Olive Fluid V-W1 in India for INR 10490

Olive Telecom might not have been able bring Olive Smart in Indian market till now, but it did launch another smartphone Fluid in the country. Olive Fluid V-W1 is an entry level Android smartphone, which comes powered with 2.1 aka Éclair and 468 MHz processor.

I don’t understand one thing; do these companies even understand the Indian market? What is the meaning of launching such an obsolete product [specs-wise] for INR 10,490. As a consumer, I wouldn’t even look at it second time. Even the cheapest of Android smartphones these days come powered by at least 600 Mhz processor, and with Gingerbread already getting old; it makes no sense to bring a product with Android 2.1.

Utter foolishness from Olive Telecom here, unless they start selling it for INR 5,000 tomorrow, I would not tell anyone to even consider it. Other features include 3.5 inch capacitive display [totally wasted], 256 MB internal memory, 3MP camera, 1300 mAH battery, and HSDPA support.

PS: No wonder they did not send a press note to me about this phone.
