Micromax didn’t really deliver with the Bling 2, but that’s not stopping them from continuing to release budget handsets in the country. Their latest addition is the Van Gogh X450, which they say is India’s first mobile phone to have a built-in Bluetooth Headset dock.

An artistic creation?

The X450 is a Java-based Dual-SIM mobile phone and has features like a swappable back panel. The specifications aren’t high-end, as you might have guessed by now, but Micromax has priced it pretty low as well. Here’s what the X450 has to offer:

2.6-inch TFT QVGA display screen
Bluetooth
2 megapixel camera
Memory expandable to 8 GB
FM Radio
3.5 mm audio jack

The phone has a multi-format audio and video player. It also allows you to access the internet through Opera Mini web browser and have instant messaging services like Facebook, Yahoo, MSN etc. through eBuddy. The battery looks decent for an entry level phone with the X450 having a 1000 mAh battery to juice it up.

The X450 is priced at Rs. 3,499, and is available at your nearest mobile phone retail store.
