Taken from *www.bhartiairtel.in/index.php?id=182&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=452&cHash=9eb99061f0

High Tech Computer Corp. (TAIEX: 2498; "HTC"), the world's leading provider of Microsoft® Windows Mobile®-based smart devices and Bharti Airtel today introduced The HTC Touch™ - India’s first mobile phone with TouchFLO™ technology. This handheld device operates on the intuitive touch screen navigation technology and is now exclusively available to Airtel Mobile users in India

Priced at Rs 19,900/- (Inclusive of taxes) The HTC Touch™ will be available for Airtel users in 10 cities, which includes - Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Jaipur.

Considering that there are already a couple of posts about the HTC Touch, I thought this info would be useful - apparently, this was announced on 15/06/2007, but I dont know if it is already available or not...

As posted by me originally, it costs 19900 including taxes. Regarding stylus, not 100% sure, but I think so... Searching for "htc touch stylus" gave links to purchase it... No clue if it is bundled though...

What if one already has an airtel connection? Do they allow us to continue using the same number with the new cell?

Yes..it has a stylus.

I believe you can use any airtel SIM card with it. Its not locked to the SIM serial number but to the network ID. Thats what a retailer told me.
