It costs around 90$ for 1 piece from Taiwan to Mumbai. If three pieces are ordered it costs around 120$. So average total cost of mobile comes out to be 340$ i.e. approx 14000. Is anyone interested in buying this phone? Comments and questions are welcome. -- Keep Smiling and Mailing, Regards, Saurabh -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
