Nokia Lumia 800 Priced at 29,990 INR in India

It was just yesterday when we first reported that Nokia Priority stores in India are taking pre orders form Lumia 800. Today Nokia has started accepting pre orders for Lumia 800 online as well. You can pre order Lumia 800 here http://www.getnokia.in/

Though the official details regarding the price of Lumia 800 isn’t available till now but was expected to be around the 28,000 INR mark,but it seems that due to recent spikes in the Dollar to Rupee conversion it has affected the prices of the Lumia 800.According to fellow developer Nirmit Kavaiya who visited the Nokia Priority store has  just confirmed that Nokia Lumia 800 would be priced at 29,990 INR (Around $585).

Lumia 800 is expected to be released somewhere in mid December in India though we don’t have any information about Lumia 710 and even Nokia hasn’t started online pre orders for the same. The phone would go head to head against the biggies like the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note and other dual core androids from HTC and LG.

If we compare the phones price with the competing one’s this one looks overpriced as compared to the others,so it’s high time for Nokia to rethink about the price structure if they want to regain the lost marketshare in Indian market which is crowded with tons of android alternatives and cheap brands like Micromax who are bringing high end phones for dirt cheap prices,like the recent Micromax Superphone which is priced under 20,000INR. Even the competitors within the Windows Phone market like Samsung Omnia W and HTC Radar are priced less than the Lumia series,so a price drop is expected sooner rather than later.
