About the Note ive seen far too many people using it and frankly with the S pen functionality it serves all my purposes and fits my day to day need without any hiccups. The Note is a wonderful phone once you get used to the size. And sir it fits the pocket very easily without making a bulge. Quote:

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Is the offer good, because i am thinking of the same and even submitted the paper work, he said i can hand over the 3000 during handset delivery. they are doing the verification tomorrow. Please let me know, if not good while doing the verification i can tell them that i am not interested in the iphone. I am only worried about the iphone 3gs being an old product, a sub standard processor and a not so great screen resolution. but if it is an incredible value for money, i will pick it up. Is it a VFM product for 9,990 ? |

I recommend the this iteration for corporates that use iOS App customized to them and to people who wish to complete the complete family under iOS umbrella. Apps are now retina display specs that means not every app will run great on 3GS. But the only great part is that Apple disclosed that 3GS will also be included for iOS 6. Hope this helps! | |

Now if one wants a convergent Apple device at 22K, 3GS is definitely good (and latest IOS also applies to it I think). I do agree that at 22K, you get much better handsets in the Android world with faster CPU and more RAM. (I myself got an better Android at that Price!) But if one wants to stick to Apple, 3GS is still good. Last edited by ampere : 24th July 2012 at 19:40. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I already have an android and was planning to upgrade to a high end android phone when this offer pop'd up. I feel it is incredible value for money at 10K. the problem is I don't trust that feeling. There has to be catch if they are selling it for so low, apart from aircel getting an increase in the customer base, i cant see how they could manage their profits. They are selling factory unlocked units, just doesn't make sense. Plans are kind of ok. You pay 3k upfront for a 1 year advanced rental that has lot of minutes / calls / texts and data bundled. So for a year, you basically don't have to pay anything if you are within your quota. Yes, this would be the first venture to the world of iphones, although not new to mac. |

| ![]() I have been using an iPhone 3GS for over 2 years, and if you compare the phones that you get for the same price, this is an incredible value. the 3GS iPhone is by far much better than any phone in that price bracket. I do not know if it is an unlocked phone, and if it is, then just don't hesitate on the phone. I am not sure of the consistency of the Aircel network though. Here in Bangalore, the network is pretty poor. Had the network been good, I would have bought it right away. Prajwal |

| ![]() Just picked it up yesterday here in Bombay. Walked into an Aircel retail outlet, had my PAN card, photo and landline telephone bill. Carry originals they're a bit fussy on that. Paid 13k cash and walked out an hour later with an unlocked 3GS 8GB on 5.1.1. I'm not using the SIM so I don't really care about the network. I year Apple warranty. |

| ![]() I meant I'm not using the Aircel SIM, using my current SIM from Airtel, popped it in and everything worked fine within a couple of minutes. 3G Data roaming, WiFi etc. I activated it over WiFi, haven't plugged it into iTunes yet. |
