The ever-inventive TATA DoCoMo announced the addition of the HTC Desire to its portfolio. The Android-powered device is available for Rs. 28,900 (about $620) at all authorized HTC resellers across India.

And to further sweeten the deal, the mobile operator is bundling the device with free data download of 500 MB per month for 6 months. If you buy the Desire, you’ll have to text “Android” to 54321 to activate the free data offer.
As you probably know, the HTC Desire comes with a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 3.7-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, Android 2.1 (upgradable to Android 2.2 Froyo) with HTC Sense UI running on top of it, 5-megapixel camera and front-facing camera for video calls, HSPA and WiFi connectivity, GPS, microSD memory card slot and so on.
