Well, it was always available in India in the Grey Market from the Day, Time and Minute Nokia had Launched it Globally. It is only now after 7 months that Nokia has decided to Launch it in India officially...(Mind you officially) For some strange reason it has been Nokia's Business Strategy to not to Launch it in India when it was Launched Globally. Despite the Fact that after China it is only India which is the Largest Mobile Phone user in the world.

Coming back to your question on India a developed country and having the Greatest. If some stupid company doesnt want to launch a product in such a Potential, Rich, Market for some strange Reason it is the company's loss and does not make a iota of difference to the country's status of being called Developed or not. Sadly it has been the case only with N900. Nokia doesnt seem to have realised this ,when most of its competitors already have started taking advantage of this Huge Market with such a astonishing Consumer Number.
