Some more joy for those of you looking at the mid-range category of Android smartphones. Spice had earlier announced the Mi-410 but the handset did not go on sale for quite some time. From what sources say, the Mi-410 has officially gone on sale and is priced at Rs. 13,999.

Serious Contender? Quite likely…

The smartphone will be running on Android 2.2 aka FroYo and is powered by a Snapdragon processor clocking 1 GHz. The Mi-410 also boasts of the following specifications:

• 4.1-inch capacitive touchscreen with a 800 x 480 WVGA resolution

• EDGE, GPRS
• GPS with A-GPS
• Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP

The smartphone also has all sensors - for better interaction with apps, like the gravity sensor, digital compass, proximity sensor and light sensor. We definitely hope that it comes pre-loaded with Google’s apps for Gmail, Maps, YouTube, Picasa and the rest and of course has SNS integration.
