Airtel India & Vodafone to Launch iPhone 3G on August 22

@Amit: You will feel better with the shiny new gadget ;)

hey it depends on the rates…,,if rates are good ,,then u should surely replace ur blackberry wid iphone

wow!!!
Thanks for the post Amit. Hope i will be the first one to buy that :)

Thanks Amit, Essar Vodafone is launching iPhone in India Aug18th, Airtel on 22, nice news,

I too have to think to buy it as it has 3g features : )

I too have to think to buy it as it has 3g features : ) but depends on pricing too…

I know it from z business at the morning. they says that it pries 24000 Rs.

Livemint reports Vodafone too will launch on Aug 22. But PTI does not mention that.

Ed: Thanks Benjamin.

Finally price matters… If its more than 16K for 8GB (http://www.business-standard.com/india/storypage.php?autono=327974), then i guess apple/airtel wont get enough market… if its less than that then probably good to take a chance…

I also wanted to shift as soon as possible, but not being able to copy mp3 directly from my system, not being able to use it as memory drive as powerful detterents… Hope iPhone supports both of these soon.. Then people like us will flock to buy iphones.

I am NOT in a hurry to grabe it, let it cool & operational first, than there after some time I may think to buy this 3g Apple iPhone.

Guys i hv just confirm with voda customercare they dont know anything abt launch date they r loosers

I m really waiting for aur 22. But what will be the price range the mobile will be same or diffrent. and what if I am already having vodafone connection

Airtel and Vodafone both launching iPhone India on 22 August, Indian news agencies clarified the D’Day Today,
Cheers : )

iPhone is going to be a huge disappointment in India. I bet.

but why you are saying this Mani. I think most of the people are waiting for iPhone.

I-phone sound’s to be a great gadget.But i ‘m yet not sure about buying the i-phone.E90 is something i m wanting to have but this i-phone attract’s me.
what should i do ?

i phone price starts from Rs.8600 to Rs.24000.
the price differs with the model and memory requirements. but every i phone has 3g,gps and maps for 6 months(free). If you are a airtel subscriber then the usage of maps is free, but not for vodafone….

hi
ifone its based on the price i guess it should be around 14 k to 20 k if it more wont get bulk buyers .ad i guesss it will be availabe for post paid customers only no prepaid .

I intend to buy the iphone.Is it worth buying if it is around 20K?
I have registered the phone online, Please let me know how will I be intimated?
Will it be distributed, on lottery system or First come basis or to everyone who has registered?

hai
tell me how can i be the one among
apple iphone 3g holder in india
what are the documents required 2 purchase it & where will be the documents submitted

Atlast Apple Inc. has started to think india as big market. I hope price would matter to the people but as far the iphone is concerned it would be reasonably right compare to new zealand and australian market where they put you on contract for 2 years and in the end, you end up paying up 6000$ for iphone.

hi guyz .
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.

Vodafone confirms it on the website:

Guys, what would be the best price for a 3G iPhone in India (consider the US price $2500 - $3500)? How can we decide whether to buy or not in India? Money really matters. I will consider iphone only if it in the rage of 15-20K, and most of the Indians I think. (what would be the best mobile I can get in that range?)

How adivicable a iPhone for a normal end user who won’t require it’s hifi features?

Well! That is fantastic to know that our market would now have such a smart 3G phone but the sad part is that we still DONT have a 3G spectrum service provider.
We cant use those features what Iphones offers as a trade mark.
It is just like having a magic stick but dont know the spell.
Any ways, it has been launched today(Aug/22/08) successfully by airtel and Vodafone with a price range of about Rs, 31,000 to Rs,36,000. We are hoping a decline in the price quote very soon.

tell me latest price of apple iphone 3g with 8gb model in india with airtel & vodaphone

Ladies and Gents,

Can some one let me know if Blackberry works in Indian territory i.e. 3G for Email, voice SMS etc.

Appreciate your answer - incidently my machine is from US made by Verizon - can it be unclocked ? Many Thanks and Cheers ! P.M.
