I think this is outrageous and ridiculous pricing by Apple/Vodafone. I am not going to buy the iPhone for Rs. 31000. It simply does not make sense. Check out my blog for my views on iPhone pricing in India.
Airtel has confirmed the price – http://www.airtel.in/iphone3g/
Rs. 31000 for 8gig
I just hope that this piece of information from zee is true,,,,,
but i got the mail from vodafone confirming the price to be Rs.31000 for 8gb..
JUST HOPING AGAINST HOPE THAT AIRTEL HAS A BETTER PRICE PACK THAN VODAFONE…….
Ok fine,
Let will waiting till off.. price from airtel,I spoken one my fri.. in airtel he is aslo telling same but he told we dnot know it may change aslo with in seconds..
I hope it as to change as per ZEE TV price,
Happy,It not Zee TV price,than BYE to apple upto Zee Tv price.
Let me any NEWS updated from airtel.
Hey SSS… I am not sure yet about the pricing from Airtel. It might be the same, 31k. Zee Business seems to have messed it up.
Hi Dev,
Where are you ?
Pl.get some info about price from airtel & Try it try it. you can get it sure & What about yesterdays price in ZEE ??? updated this aslo Pl.
Hi Guy
see below airtel in singapore data plans /
Singapore SingTel’s iPhone 3G price plan
3gweek.net/2008/08/20/singapore-singtels-iphone-3g-price-plan/
ya guys, even i had registered on vodafone for iphone and today only i got the email abt the pricing. 8gb for 31k’s.. It really doesnt make sense at all.. i doubt zee business people actually have the right info. cuz offical vodafone mail cant be wrong..
@Dev,
What is go on, Which is true price ??
Pl.try from airtel & Let me now know !
I waiting for your reply
31k and no 3G network. Does Vodafone take us for a bunch of morons?
[...] was a dampener, because I had read this yesterday and also saw the news item on Zee Business claiming that there will be an option of phone [...]
great…. and now the world implodes….
Well I pre-registered for one and I just got the email from Vodafone. They say its 31K. I don’t know whom to believe. If Vodafone people are to be true, then Zee Business is simply showing anything without verification.
Anyways, lets hope the Zee Business people are true, as at 31K, I am not going to buy it! What is going on in the minds of mobile companies?
Hi,
I received a mail from vodafone:
“We are delighted to announce that the iPhone 3G will be available in India from August 22, 2008
It will be available in 8GB & 16GB models, priced at Rs 31,000 and Rs 36,100 respectively. ”
Its confirmed !!!

ok… that link is giving me 404 error,mayb they took it or something…
http://www.vodafone.in/iphone for price details
Hi Dev,
This price including all taxes ?
Any website or any other news channel confirmed the same price.
Check this one guys – http://www.vodafone.in/iPhone/Pages/iPhone_details1.aspx.
Its confirmed vodafone is bringing 8gig for 31000k.
Disappointed with this news…:(
But I still want to wait till 22nd to get an official price from Airtel. This vodafone announcement page is hanging, as its not linked to vodafone.in’s home page nor the press section. Therefore I am still not fully convinced.
well let me know will the locals sell iphone 3g or will we get it from vodafone and airtel gallery,, i am planning to stand inline on friday
i dont really belive it ,, evenone shouted last week including , times of india , mid-day, tech3 and all reliable sources that it will cost 31k for 8g. now suddenly 2 days before launch this one comes..since iphone is about to be launched on friday, they should reveal the prices by tomorrow,, keep watching this space,, but i dont belive this zee business news to be true and i pray it is true
Hmm seems to be faulty pricing..
25499 with no installment
8500 + 699 for 24 months make Rs. 25276 which is less than what you pay without installment.
Which company would like to make losses? haha
Basically, the info that Zee News got looks to be fake.
cheers
Deep
if this is true.. i am going to buy iphone 3g next week..
@Dev,
Thanks for reply,
Happy IPHONE.
I wont trust any sources now. Its been speculated enough. Lets just wait for Airtel-Vodafone to announce it.
I am not sure SSS, but I guess we got add 5k to 25499 to get an approx price of 16gig. It might be 29999 approx.
@Dev,
Can you get about 16 GB price Pl…
@Dev,
Ok,
At last we got best info forever,
Thanks for info once ag…
Seems like this is true. Check out the screenshots, this cant be manipulated SSS. Lets wait for another 3 days…
Dev,
Is this true ?
