Micromax has launched a new smartphone in India for the music lovers, in association of Aircel. According to Aircel, it’s the industry’s first 3G music smartphone. [We are not sure, what “3G Music” means, please ask Aircel. On a serious note, it’s stupid on Aircel’s part to call it a 3G Music smartphone.]
