Considering the growth of Indian mobile market, the company is also planning to increase its retail outlets covering all major cities of the country as to meet a sales target of 10 million handsets by 2009.

The handsets will be priced in between Rs. 3,500 and Rs. 5,000 and the company’s Chennai plant will manufacture the proposed product.

Both handsets with radio looks are enabled with all basic and enhanced features like Bluetooth, Mega-pixel camera, FM/AM radio and GPRS. One can easily access his/her favourite radio stations just pressing the radio button on the phone.

Here is a glance to the specification of both sets.

However with only 5 to 8 MB inbuilt memory card, it doesn’t support much to store recordings. The built in stereo speaker is mainly designed to offer stereo like sound. The only major difference between 300 and 306i is camera as the later has a 1.3 mega-pixel camera, which is capable of recording video clips.

The radio alarm clock functionality is available in both handsets by which you can set the alarm to wake up with the sounds of your own favourite radio stations.
