14 DAY TRIAL // Yesterday in New Delhi, the GSM brand of Tata Teleservices, Tata DOCOMO, together with Samsung Mobile, announced the launch of the Samsung Galaxy (I7500), the first Android-powered Samsung mobile phone.

Samsung Galaxy also provides its users with the entire suite of Google Mobile Services like Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Google Calendar, Google Talk as well as Android MarketTM. Lots of other Android applications are available for this model. Those who will opt for the Samsung Galaxy will have access to the wide array of applications available on Android Market, which can be downloaded and installed on the handset directly over the air.
“TATA DOCOMO is a young brand that recently rolled out GSM services across eight circles (so far),” Mr. Deepak Gulati, president, TATA DOCOMO, said. “When we launched our services, we had promised our subscribers that we would bring to them the best products and services—products that will stand for innovation and a pioneering spirit, and which would offer them convenience and simplicity. Living up to that promise, we are launching the Samsung Galaxy with one-touch Google Mobile Services (GMS). This launch marks the beginning of TATA DOCOMO’s relationship with Samsung. We will continue working together to launch more innovative mobile offerings for Indian consumers on the Tata DOCOMO platform,” he added.
Aside from the 3.2” full-touch display, which offers great media and image quality, the Samsung I7500 also provides its users with a 5-megapixel camera, 8GB of internal memory (expandable to 32GB), a 1500 mAh battery and a slim compact design (11.9mm thick). Samsung Galaxy aims to attract customers that are always on the move and need fast access to information.
Samsung and Tata DOCOMO have decided to launch this device accompanied by an attracting consumer offer consisting of 500 MB free monthly download over a period of six months. The Samsung Android is the “refreshingly different experience” that Tata Docomo has promised its customers and with the launch of this smartphone the subscribers will be able to experience the vast range of applications on the Android Market using a high-quality product.
