Google phone will debut in India in December this year, reports Business Standard. The price will be higher than what the user has to pay in the United States ($179 or Rs.8200). The handset will be an HTC device, and will be launched through a possible tie-up with some operator.

As we discussed, the Google phone does has a lot of potential. If taken as a finished product, it falls flat. See it more as a platform for the developers to experiment on. At least for the first year.

India has a lot of developers. Many interesting applications can emerge from here. I am particularly interested in seeing some VoIP application for the Google phone. The reason being that T-Mobile had said they had gone extra mile t block VoIP on the Google phone.

There are chances that the phone might debuts in India, locked in with Airtel. This is because Airtel already has a partnership with HTC. However, knowing India, an unlocked model will have to be launched in India, too. Anyways, if they don’t do this, we (Indians) will.

By the time it arrives in India, a lot of applications would have already been running on the phone. Indian developers will once again learn from US mistakes. Though, in this case the benefits will be quiet global.

Can Indian developers come up with better apps for the G-phone, than the US ones? Well, why not, we did make one of the most successful Facebook applications. Didn’t we?
