Spice Mobile, a part of BK Modi’s Spice Corp Limited, is expected to enter the CDMA handset business in India. The company will launch its first CDMA phone on April 29, which will be followed by a range of CDMA cellphones in the coming months. 

According to information received by Cellpassion, Spice will launch one CDMA phone on Tuesday, which will be priced in between Rs 6,500 – Rs 7,500. The USP of the device will be its mammoth 2000 mAh battery, which should provide users with nearly double the talk time that common CDMA phones provide. The phone won’t be tied to any carrier, a move that will enable consumers to choose any CDMA carrier of their choice.

Spice Mobile already offers a large portfolio of GSM handsets in India and is expected to launch a sub-$20 handset in the next couple of months.
