Hi,
The HBM-30 is now available in India. But the price is downright atrocious. Its currently selling here for INR 21000 or roughly USD 462...as compared to online shops which are offering it for about USD 260...

The local distributor reported that retailer/dealers are reluctant to pick up the HBM-30. No wonder!

Hmm imho really the price is exorbitant. It was quite obvious as many of us will not find it worth buying and thus the hike in price.

But there are people who do want to buy. The HBM-30 is definitely a great combo gadget but 21K is tooooooo much... add to it the fact that there will probably be little or no support for device. Even MS Duo is not available in India...

I have a few dealer friends @L.R. I usually buy it from them. However, I bought the 128MB stick from Dubai.
