So are they selling iPhone unlocked, or you are still locked to the operator even after paying full price?
You are right it is not subsidised as in US of A.

In india its will be locked for Airtel/vodafone Sims only.
However you can crack it, only with an exception of the appstore.

Untill the price comes in range of under 28k.It is not a good deal.

Let me verify that number from my source again.

Meanwhile, the joke doing around is that Apple is coming up with 'iLoan' product, so that Indians can lay their hands in 'iPhone' !!

I posted early, its all about 'madness' aint it? who cares about all this? i have been desperately hunting for a legit iPhone and i got it, i can afford it and no regrets.

HTC touch i bought for 18700 now is 13000, Nokia communicator i bought for 35 grand and sold for 7 grand a year later. Its madness that all, you like it, you buy it. Or just move on lol

Cant wait for next "one" to come out, but will it create so much hype?

Jaggu, Congrats on your iPhone!

Can you give us a brief comparo of iPhone and HTC Touch?

Wait for Diwali - these things will settle down at a more realistic price level of 25k for 8GB and 30k for 16GB. Or less, depending on how desperate they are.

EDIT: I believe this must be the fastest price-cut on a gadget/device so far in India? 3 days and Rs.2,000 off!
the price cut was done in bombay on the first day itself. in the night they opened noone bothered to go. they forgot its india and not new york. next morning of the 23 aug it already had the new price and selling...

HTC Touch is history - I dont even think they make it anymore, a more appropriate comparison would be the Touch Diamond.

They have announced the iphone on prepaid in the UK (no costly monthly contract).

The 8GB is priced £349.99 which is RS27,799.84. The 16GB is £399.99 which is RS31,692.98.

My cousin's friend at Airtel Corporate Office informed him that indeed the prices will come down by around 5k's each model & the unlucky few who bought it at 31k's & 36k's will get a credit of 5k's from iTunes Store Gift Cards/Vouchers/Accessories. Lets hope he's not kidding.

HTC Touch diamond is soon history, the raphael (pro) is coming..I phones are good for people with minimal needs, and maximum style mantra. Feature rich? features ditched! thats I-phones slogan...great UI no options..hmmm.. LOL! Oh and did they by any chance include video recording from their small lil camera? oops! did I hurt their ad campaign?

Vodaphone is now giving iPhone on EMIs

The revolutionary iPhone can now be yours on easy monthly installments. So rush to a Vodafone Store, not the closest ATM.
