It's the HTC Legend, a device unveiled during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which joins hands with Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and the Motorola Milestone, two handsets running under Google's mobile operating system, both on sale in the country at the moment.

According to a post on cellpassion, mobile phone users in India are now able to purchase the HTC Legend for Rs 26,500, though the official price tag for the device hasn't been unveiled yet. The mobile phone is powered by the Android 2.1 version of Google's OS, and it offers additional features like Wi-Fi connectivity options, built-in GPS receiver, and more.
In addition to the new Android phone, Indian phone users can enjoy the Huawei U7510, a handset powered by Qualcomm's Brew MP operating system. Boasting a QVGA touchscreen display, a 2-megapixel photo snapper, multimedia features like stereo FM radio and MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity options and more, the handset is now on sale via BSNL for only 6,500 INR (around $145).
The Huawei U7510 comes with 100MB of internal memory, but users can add up to 8GB of additional storage space via the handset's microSD memory card slot.
