The HTC Smart has landed in India where it expects to make some headlines as the Taiwan based company injected its launch with a $1 million marketing campaign. Officially announced by HTC and Bharti Airtel, the budget friendly HTC Smart reportedly “marks HTC's strategic focus on India” – it's looked upon as an emerging market where huge growths are expected to happen. The HTC Smart will hopefully saturate the local market seeing that it's an inexpensive device that features a 2.8” QVGA touchscreen, HTC's own & beloved Sense UI, 3.5mm headset jack, FM Radio, 3.2-megapixel camera, and microSD card support. Even though the HTC Smart is a 3G enabled handset, Bharti Airtel does not currently have a 3G network up and running – yet. The device is expected to be available in about 30 major cities across the country through Bharti Airtel and authorized HTC dealers – it's going for the low price of 9,990 INR ($222). We'll see if HTC hits gold with their move to focus on the emerging market in India.
