Microsoft has finally made India an official country in the list of Windows Phone Selling countries supported by the company. People who bought WP devices earlier were plagued with activation issues and had to call up Microsoft in the Uk to get activation keys. No longer is the case, even-though almost a year later than its official launch , Microsoft has brought the Mobile OS into our country and with 3 handsets in tow.

The three devices avaiable at launch are 

HTC RADAR

SAMSUNG OMNIA W

ACER ALLEGRO

The devices will be available to us soon, and we will have the usual iG business with them.
