Considering the limitations of iPhone and the lack of 3G features in our network providers, iPhone 3G 8GB is not worthy to buy for 31,000 INR.

Hi,
Would you buy a phone that:
a) costs Rs 31000
b) does not let you use Bluetooth for anything but headset
c) Does not have any memory expansion slot
d) does not let you change the Battery
e) Does not let you sync if you are on a Linux desktop?
f) Has 3G capability but wont be useful for about 2 years since there are no 3G networks in India.
g) Is network-locked to Airtel or Vodaphone

If you answered yes to any of the above, then go get fooled into buying an iPhone!!!

It has already been published. We got e-mail from Airtel and Vodafone as well as SMS.

iPhone 3G is available in 8GB and 16 GB.
Release Date August 22, 2008.
Price : 31K INR for 8GB and 36K INR for 16 GB.

This is too much as compared to the rumour.

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.

Its impossible… The iphone will probably hit India this year, but won’t cost less than 18-20 thousand for any version in the first few months…
