Why not? We dont really need the iPhone 3G here. I think the old one at much lower prices makes a lot of sense.

But didnt they stop making the old stock? There is no 4Gb version available elsewhere.
Do you think that they would be introducing this to capture the cheap guys? If so then what will separate the premium fellows from the cheap one?

I guess the 4gb one is not such a bad option for someone who needs a second phone. I would not get any of the models as a primary phone after what steeriod posted.

i'm just going to wait till the first week of september.....if the iphone is going to come with a Rs.1000 a month contract then i'm straight away picking up a n-95 8gb/n96 or HTC or better still probably pick up the 1st gen iphone for a lower price.

the wait for the iphone has caused enough pain and misery!!!

They confirmed it with their reporter who didn't even have any idea regarding the phone features.

This is what I call gossip, not journalism. Unfortunately, I think our mass media channels are all equally incompetent.

Yes and NO, yes for still not having 3G network and a version 1 with latest software makes sense. Unless you have a habit of getting lost in city like me (read as: Particular that a full fledged GPS functionality, ok lets not get into turn by turn and all)

No again for launch of ver 1 iPhone after all this hoopla of publicity, somebody would have clarified it by now lol.

"Nobody" has info on actual price, right from the Airtel guy to Apple India. Its kept as a very bid "secret", lets hope they reveal it with details atleast by tomorrow!

I wish i just went ahead an picked an unlocked one from phorein land as originally planned, this wait/tease is frustrating!!

Go for n-95 8gb/n96 and you wont repent your decision Even HTC is good though not as good as the previous 2. And as for Iphone its not just worth the money will all the features missing.
