Motorola has introduced first dual-SIM supporting Google Android smartphone XT800 Glam in India. The new Motorola XT800 Glam is India's first Android smartphone to support dual-SIM (GSM+CDMA) handset. The new XT800 Glam handset runs Android 2.2 Froyo and is priced at Rs. 31,999.

New Motorola XT800 Glam has a 3.7-inch touchscreen FWVGA (480x854) capacitive display supporting 16:9 aspect ratio natively. By default, the new XT800 Glam will come with Google Android 2.2 Froyo update. Aimed at the multi-media frenzy folks, the XT800 Glam handset has a 5-megapixel camera capable of 720p HD video capture and also an HDMI out port for plugging it to an HD TV.

Motorola XT800 Glam comes with 550MHz Texas Instruments OMAP3430 processor and has 256MB RAM on board along with 512MB ROM. One can add up to 32GB microSDHC memory card. For wireless connectivity, XT800 Glam offers Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1 support. Location based services are supported with GPS module.

The phone does offer majority of the smartphone features as expected. However, the same XT800 Glam handset was launched in China last year on January 17, 2010. In fact, the same handset was launched again last month with faster processor as XT800+ (XT800 Plus) for China.

As of now, I really don't recommend buying a dual-SIM Android phone for Rs. 31, 999 for you can have several powerful Android phone such as Desire HD and Galaxy S for less than that. However, we're yet to get our hands on this device to check if it is the XT800 or the upgraded XT800+.

Only option for Android Dual Sim. But the price is very high. Would be a better option if the price was 20,000.

Its time for motorola to check their India pricing. Its too high for this market and 2011 is waiting for many other smart-phones with very powerful packed configuration for the same price.

Motorola has always got its pricing wrong in India.When it launched the Motorola XT for abt 32 grand back when Galaxy and Desire were launched, it slashed the prices to 27 grand within a matter of a week.4 a screen of 3.7 inches with all the features included anythin more than 20 grand is simply daylight robbery.
