  Hey Dude, Well I see some market for iPhones in India if we sacrifice a few like 3G, iTunes ,GPS n so on. Well I need no need for GPS in India AFAIK. Well in my view price is a bit expensive but have nuts who buy those. If the price is a bit flexible I see almost many ppl go for that.

  Guys, do u have any idea on guarantee in India for iphone 3G? I just wanna know in US if u have a problem go 2 the near by apple store and u get the phone replaced for free. I don’t know whether this system works in India r not.

  So you have already invest 27k. You could wait for some time and then go for this. I have updated the “About Me” page with my iPhone 3G pixs. Check it out – http://iphoneindia.gyanin.com/about/

  Dev,

  I got it from the midnight launch in bangalore and its truly gr8! But if you have a 1st Gen phone with 2.0 firmware then the only difference between this and the older model is the 3G Chip addition.

  So, its up to you to buy it but you won’t find any major difference between this and older model (if you were running 2.0 i.e.)

  SEAN You said Right.
  Will it succed in India?
  India is a country with huge demand for the phones. The production is too few compared to the demand. These guys will not be able to meet the demand here. So, they are targetting the creamy layer here now. Once the production comes and initial demand goes down, there will be EMI schemes with some decrease in price. I think Iphone won’t worth 31000 comparing the features provided. Chill out guys.

  Chill guys, the problem is not with Apple. I bet coz in US n all other countries it was the network providers who give the subsidized phone and lower the prices. Apple has nothing to do with fixing the prices on handsets. Coming to the 3G and other stuff, did Apple block the access to them in anyway. Nope, it was the poor infrastructure of the 3G network policy over there in India.

  Well in US the call charges or so expensive and u get even charged for incoming , lucky guys u won’t get charged for incoming in India and outgoing is really cheap when compared to the universal charges.

  Just it’s the problem with the carriers and the dot for not releasing the 3G Spectrum for public use. I nowhere see the problem with Apple in any segment.

  And finally it’s our own option to buy the phone and none forcing to buy the iPhone 3G.

  Hey Amit.. I am waiting for airtel.in to update their website. If there is a change in the pricing, I guess Airtel will also change. Lets wait for airtel.in’s updation. I am anyways going ahead with my decision to buy 3G tomorrow morning. I have just fallen in love with iPhone. Have been using 1st gen from past 8months now and want to upgrade to 3G, desperately.

  Airtel has just updated the 3GiPhone section with this – To get your iPhone on priority, visit one of the select Airtel stores & confirm your booking by paying Rs 5000 on August 20 or 21. You will get an appointment to collect your iPhone after paying the balance amount.

  @Amit,
  Absolutely right dude, 31,000 for iPhone in India is just rip off knowing the fact that we won’t be able to use its most of the promising features like 3G, GPS, Video Calling etc..
  Also if Airtel & Vodafone are not subsidizing iPhone then they do not have any right to lock it to there network.
  I don’t understand why Apple is selling iPhone directly from Apple store?
  Why not buy N95 or HTC touch Diamond for lesser price and for the features that we can use.
  iPhone is damn good but for those who can use all its not features, for indian customers 31K is definitely rip off.

  32k for 16 GB in Grey ? I am sure it must be first-gen iPhone and not iPhone 3G.
