I’ll pay you Rs. 2000 for your iPhone. Best offer ever, amiright? Will throw in a samosa. Haaha

what u mean by. this 2 year contract?

what do you mean by 2yr contract?

$199 is not the actual cost of iPhone .overall TCO of the device is way higher .its $100+ more than the previous device .

heres to the jailbreak phone

CONTARCT = HANDSET + FIXED MONTHLY COMMITMENT, BASICALLY PACKAGING OFFERED BY THE OPERATOR

Nick they have to start those contracts here i think that would be great if they do that soon. but the real issue is how they going to have a brandwidth to supprt this system. I think they would have only adverts where an actor would talk to another actor by thier new 3g phone but in reality the testing would be killing for users in terms of usage and the cost with it.

surprise gift

best offer 4ever...surprise gift 4 me

I don’t think anyone has yet figured out the what the price is going to be in India. I seriously doubt it will 8K and 12K respectively.

There will be a riot on the streets. And after years of avoiding airtel thugs. I might actually subscribe to airtel again.

Lets wait for 3G service. Keypad sans IPhone can follow on later.

its airtel who is going to release iphone in india not vodafone.
i have already seen it in apple website.
airtel customers send an sms---iphone to 54321

All you fools are wasting time.Apple Iphone is not just for anyone.You need to have knowledge and lil bit of common sense to use it.I already have a iphone and thought about how could apple sell the 3G version for so cheap.Well its gonna be a huge flop!As people who already possess the phone can use any network of their choice and for the new ones the have contractual obligations.

As for this low cost iphone 3G there is a big marketing strategy as vodafone would be compensating the rest of the amount(8000) in two years.Vodafone charges 10paise/10kb for browsing not only that to browse in iphone u need to activate vodafone WWW WHICH costs 191RS.So dont get too excited...You all goons deserve just samsung or LG...YOU all cheap shits!!

@ vishnu

so they will charging u Rs. 191 p/m or wat for next two years?? or there are any more charges?

I think Vishnu is the biggest fool here who bought a Iphone for some astronomical price and poor guy has to crack it to use it in india. Warranty void...no software updates poor chap...Now after going mad he is saying people here are fools.

Haha yeah Vishnu needs a psychiatrist because his analysis and judgment are all awry and he’s rude without a reason like a schizo.

is it 8k ?

i wont buy an iphone ....man its gonna be common /.....just 8k ...just imagine ...evyrbody gonna have it.........so it wont be anything special ,..........so never ever iphone ...bye bye n tata

A friend of mine has got iphone and he is facing lots of technical problem. e.g. It hangs inbetween serching the contacts or typing msgs. Network prob.etc.
Is it fruitful to buy it after the launch in India?

becahchodo ik duje nu gaala kad rahe ho, paise kharcho te iphone lai lo, paise nahi haige taan iethe bund na kasao

iphone 3g is very good. i have already seen its post release reviews. but the saddest thing is it is not released in india. even though the bookings are open it will take more time. it may hit india nxt year. but the price of it in india(around 16000 - 18000 for a basic 8gb model according to some unknown persons n some leading websites) is a bit high for the features it had at present. if it comes for the same price a it is in US, ie $200 (around 10,000) is worthwhile. but am sure that the price will be a bit high n the plan for that will also be high such that it may become a hurdle between a basic employee n apple iphone.

Hello,
I am Nitin.What do you mean by 2K.

C’mon, I thought Apple would price the iPhone 3G low in every country. When I heard that it was just $199, I was jumping with joy and I wanted it so badly but now it seems as if the prices will start just above Rs.15k which is a GREAT disappointment to me. I just hope Airtel & Vodafone can dish out plans where you can buy the 3G for Rs.8k - 15k & then of course you pay the monthly bill, & additional WiFi & connectivity charges. That will be great.

Its not the device but what you can do with it thats important. the new 3g phone in india without the backing 3g service is prety much what the first version was.

I would be keen to see what the content play is on the iphone, not the phone service, costs etc.

I think vishnu is right. proper use of iphone 3g is to use the internet over it. currently airtel is taking rs. 500/m for unlimited data plan. And there is two year contract will bind you. Iphone will definitely use data from internet for the softwares from it. that’s y it is so cheap in figures ang seems so costly acyually. in numbers after 2 years it will costs you about 25000/- or more.
from any operator airtel or vodafone. remember 10 paisa/10 kb is much heavy costs for internet users.
be aware before buying it.

Hi all,
Iphone to be launched in october will be of two types - locked and unlocked.
The one of 8000 will be unlocked ie u cannot use it as u wish and use other phones like N70 etc. Everything will be controlled by the service provider and apple.
If you want to use it as u wish ie install applications and use it freely u have to make it locked for that u have to spend some extra bucks that will be around Rs. 20000. The total cost of iphone 3G (locked) will be 25-30K.
So ppl chill and don’t get dissapointed later.

Peace.

I am also booked iphone in airtel. I think this is good as compared other phone available in the market.

Sir what’s a price this iphone plz tell me 7 send me all details of this i phone price must ok bosss ...

Hi

There is a myth in the market place on low pricing of the product (reference price point being Rs. 8000 or Rs.12000/- which

refers to AT&T;pricing of USD 199 or USD 299).

The reports don’t factor the commitment which a customers needs to give for a particular Price Plan for a period of 24 Months

in the case of AT&T;. For O2 the commitment is for 18 months with selected plans.

But, if we calculate other cost like montly rental for voice, i.e., 69.99 (USD), the total cost of ownership for the period

of 24 months for a 8 GB model comes around Rs.81000/-! The total cost of ownership for O2 is around Rs.200000/- over a period

of 18 months.

In first look it looks high, but in long term, it is still cheaper in India. So, don’t stop urself from buying this lovely

gadget…

Hi

A bit of relief. Now airtel is providing option of EMI to buy iPhone (http://www.airtel.in/iphone3g). At least, now people who were expecting to be in range of 16-20K can think again to buy it with EMI option. What you say guys? Can we hope to get its price down in future as well?

Rajesh
