Vodafone has launched the Vodafone 150 (VF 150), a low-cost handset priced at Rs 799. The device has a 1 inch black-andwhite display, and is equipped with a speakerphone and torch.

Until recently, only Micromax, Fly and Nokia had been selling handhelds priced in the sub-Rs 2,000 category. This is the first time that a telecom operator has priced a handset below Rs 1,000.
