India has the second largest mobile phone subscriber base in the world. However, it is not a very attractive a place when it comes to expensive handsets. For example, iPhone is yet to become very popular in this market. So, I am interested to see how the 3 smart phones from Sony Ericsson do here.

The phones, “Satio”, “Aino” and “Yari”, will set the trend for the new age smart phones, said Anil Sethi, president of Sony Ericsson Mobile India.

He said the company would focus on the smartphone category for the next two-three years to boost sales.

“Once the 3G spectrum allocation happens, we can roll out more features with better network,” Sethi said.

When 3G technology comes to Indian this kind of handsets will become more relevant to the consumers.
