htc aria - expected launch date/price?

[filmguy]

the htc aria has got good reviews on gsmarena. any idea of when we can expect it her and at what price. if u just convert it comes to 15k but thats the price of wildfire ! so what price shld we expect it to be?

17k but pray that its launch is not delayed like the desire...

Somewhere between wildfire and legend. The device specs are such, and the price is likely to be like that.

Reviews from engadget seem to suggest this phone is "shockingly" stable (even with loads of apps running).

Hopefully, Aria releases soon and comes priced at below 18k. (So, street prices, 17k).

Then, we would finally be having a good android phone at a below 20k price ...
Regarding the reviews, I just don't get why some criticise the HVGA resolution, considering that all the older i-phones shipped with that resolution,that too in a larger screen. :huhIn fact, before iphone 4, I recollect only a handful of instances where resolution (ppi) was ever mentioned/commented upon, in reviews. )

Basically you are getting near or better than Nokia N900 specs (like 600 Mhz A8, 384 MB RAM) in some aspects + reasonably good battery life . Sounds good to me !!
