According to IANS, Ringing Bells’ Founder and CEO Mohit Goel has promised deliveries from June 30.
“We are ready with nearly two lakh ‘Freedom 251’ handsets. We will start delivery from June 30,” Goel said, adding that once he is done with this first phase of delivery (of two lakh phones), he will open registration again for those who wish to buy the handset.
The company had in mid-February planned to deliver 25 lakh handsets before June 30. It claimed to have received over seven crore registrations before its payment gateway crashed within three days.
“We learned from our mistakes and decided to go silent till we come out with the product. Now we have a 4-inch, dual-SIM phone ready for delivery. I feel vindicated,” Goel told IANS.
Ringing Bells is not just pitting itself as a smartphone maker, but also wants to launch the world’s cheapest 32-inch high-definition LED television — also called “Freedom”.
“These will be the cheapest television sets in India and will be available for less than Rs 10,000. Within two days, the delivery would be made and we will sell them online,” Goel said, adding the company currently has one lakh such pieces in stock.
