i got new apple 3g 16gb i-phone..it's great item from apple....

i think iPhone starting @ 16k

i want to information for new technology mobile and rate of that....thanks.

Hi everyone I have been following the iPhone for launching and pricing for an year now and let me tell you some facts about the 3G iPhone that I found missing in the comments and the article. 1. iPhone 3G is network locked - The iPhone 3G which is available in the US and some other countries are 90% locked to the network providers network. For now there has been NO software unlock till date that can allow the iPhone 3G to be used on other networks other than the providers. They can be jailbroken BUT not unlocked. 2. The pricing model in the US is USD 199 (8GB) and USD 299 (16GB) with a 3 year contract for the phone for DATA and VOICE for using it over the 3 generation (3G) network. Both data and voice have a different plan options and the phone is not sold without the 3year commitment. The minimum plan I think is USD 39 and goes upto USD 80 (something of sort) for 3 years. So, although Apple does not limit any provider with the pricing model what it does make sure is that the phone is activated within the AT&T store and thus the 3 year is contract is activated then and there. I don't think either Bharti or Vodafone will move away from such pricing model. Most of the services of the iPhone 3G will be charged seperately just like the Blackberry service is does. Thanks and have a great day

today i had a tlk wd a person wrkn at vodafone. discloses tht iphone wl b priced nr 12-15k fr 8gb n 20-21k fr 16gb...lets c wt hppn on 22nd aug

if the cost of this is 20k to 25k its worth buying an N95 8gb for just 26k.

A lot of you seem distressed at the price. However, even at 30K, this phone is worth the price, and a lot of us, me included will buy it. True, it will not be a common man's phone, BUT.. if it were to be one.. then I would not want it. In the last year, I gave up my Nokia N95 in favor of a Samsung F700, which I then traded in for, and am currently using, a Samsung i900 Omnia. I only live in India part time and am returning in Sept, and am looking forward to getting an iPhone there. Prices here, in Europe are a lot cheaper, but the service plans that they require you to sign up for, are ridiculous. (specially since I live here only 6-7 months a year). So moan all you want, but know this, there are a LOT of people like me who will pay the 25-30K pricetags, just to have the satisfaction of not seeing the phone in your (the moaners) hands. Smug and arrogant as this seems, it's a fact of life, so get used to it. :) Much more important than the price, for me, is whether they will require you to sign up for a contract. Since that's out of the question for me, am not going to pay for a service that I won't use 7 month's a year, other than the sheer hassles of keeping up with payments in Goa, while I am in Europe, if they do require one.. I guess I'll have to take a look at Heera Panna (whatever that is). Cheers

ipod nano's price $199 and in india its price is Rs.10500....iphone 8gb cost also $199....then why it cost greater than Rs.12000 in india????

i read a post in techtree forum ..... that vodafone has announced the pricing details for iphone 3g ...... is that true?

No comment on s--t iphone

i hav cell point.n i bought 15pc of china cell 4om a wholeseller in delhi.n he said me that i can order in phone.n if i depo amount in his bank ac than he will send the cells througth courier.so can i trust this person..plz reply its urgent...

its a shit for 20000 to 30000

for 20k! its a piece of shit. samsung & htc have phones with much superior for that price.

every one is crazy about this APPLE 3G i PHONE . but u know guyz there r 2 main draw backs in this phone.. NO VIDEO RECORDING.. NO HANDS FREE BLUE TOOTH... anyway if airtel sells it for Rs.8000. then its fine.. otherwise no need of thinking about it

gr8!!This piece of shit costs 9K in usa,n in india - 20k??? do dese guyz think dat we r richer than americans!!!

its not at like this...im from apple california..right-now in india.....steve jobs and our group privately discussed that the iphone 8gb will be near 8,000 and 16 gb will be 16,000......because we updated the coreosx53.345. for the new iphone 3g for india...dont believe this shit...im telling u...

airtel give me this phone for 8000 rs or otherwise never i am using ur service for sure.Are u think we r insane.

i wouldnt go anywhere close to the iphone at that price. One major reason i was drawn to it was because of the speculated price. This is too steep for bling material

iphon

Will Airtel demo safari internet browsing at there relationship centres? I think there will be lot of error messages opening web pages with Airtel or Vodafone networks. Without these service providers improving there network, no one would be satisfied with iPhone's Safari desktop class browser... Anyone with idea of how much time we can browse web pages on iPhone while on 2G/EDGE network?

iphone 3g is the worlds best.....we have made the os so fasssst...u wont believe

it was so costly

jailbreak iphone3g

Take a look at the new Samsung i900 Omnia fellas. Beats the Steve's baby hands down in almost all quarters. I own a MacBook and swear by it. Don't do windows anymore, Nope Nada!!!. iPhone has it's moments of crowning glory but all in all it's a piece of rabid dogshit out of cupertino. Hell for an overhyped phone, it's got absolutely limited feature set.

well i am not gonna be the f@#@** who will be buying this phone for this price when it's available for nearly half the price in the US, shit i can buy the new SE W902 with an 5MP camera for around the same price..

This has always been the biggest killer of all time in India n still is.....taxes n duty. Even if d iPhone is comin out of Apple Factory for $299 max d taxes n duty are gonna shoot its price to heaven. Ppl wid deep pockets...be ready....as for average guys like me..be happy with what u got.(or go get a personal loan 2 buy this phone lol) An Apple iPhone 3G being sold at Rs 55000 at Heera Panna!!! dam Wait till we get it at AirTel or Vodafone shops....m sure d price is gonna spiral down N few days ago i had check out iPod Touch at Apple Store...d 16Gb was priced at 23000...some how it is evident 4m this that d iPhone 3G has 2 be a More expensive den this

i.am also interested in iphone.when prices will be rs.16000

This sucks. The iphone 3G is made of plastic and all so that it is CHEAP,any thing like that i have bought that 8g iphone its price is 15900, wat's price of3g

This sucks. The iphone 3G is made of plastic and all so that it is CHEAP. One can see the quality difference between the old and new Iphone. Yet these crooks are trying to sell it at sky high prices to Indians! One might as well buy the old iphone for that price.

Hope the phone is launched with an approx 15k price tag max. otherwise without FM/camera It may not create any ripples in India.

according to the surat's people we would like to buy this i phone 3g between 8000 to 12000 acording to the news on tv channel you can offer i phone 3g on 8000 only

It will be a major flop show if priced that high!! Well at least i wont be buying it at that price tag!!

I expected the price arond 12 to 15 thousand by seeing the reviews i really shocked, i think it wont be in the common man hands.......

it should be for around10000 only to make it a common phone

wat wud b the exact price of 4gb iphone in india

i want to know exact price of iphone that is going to be launch on 22 august 4 gb iphone

It makes no sence if the airtel or vodafone price the 8gb for 20000. i dont think there would a profit to the company, its a big mistake on there part, in gray market it will be around 8 gb for 15000 & 16gb for 21000. so wait for it.

thats bullsh#t.. they should sell it at a lower price... if they are going to sell it for 30k, one might as well buy an officially unlocked iphone for the same price and use any network.. that' just dumb.
