Ipod touch 4 in india

[darkrider114]

Hi guys!

I want to know the whether ipod touch 4 is available in india....

Considering the price of 229$ for an 8gb model i think its a pretty good deal... what do u say guys?

[ico]

It should be fully available within two weeks and is totally worth it. However, I would prefer to get the 32GB one as it is probably around 3-4k more than the 8GB one.

From where did you get the official pricing and is it for ipod touch 4G?

[VarDOS]

yes these prices are for 4G.

Official Pricing : Apple (India) - Press Releases - Apple Introduces New iPod touch

wont the warantty be void if in India if shipped from USA

[VarDOS]

Apple offer's International Warranty, so even if u buy it from GM it doesn't matter for iPod's.

do not get 8GB. You will fill it up too fast. Get atleast 32GB.

[VarDOS]

^well said, as the camera records HD 8GB is not enough.

How much would a jailborken iphone 4 cost
& wht are the risks involved

[darkrider114]

Iphone 4 is one of the costliest mobile right now. Its around 45-50k in grey market. Get it from USA. That way it might be somewhat cheaper.

BTW you knw guys... Ipod touch 4's video recording is very impressive.

Check it out below...Its from engadget...

jailbreaking is very easy to do. jailbreak for 4.1 should be out soon. and there are no risks involved. unlocking though is a different thing.

[raj_in]

for india which is the better option
bcz iphone 4 can do all ipod 4 will do plus can make calls
& its cheaper also if jailbrokeen

[VarDOS]

if you have budget iphone4 is always good, it surely beats ipod touch4 in all the ways.

I would say that ipod touch 4G + a good android phone is a much much better option than iphone 4. get something like HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy S along with ipod touch 4G and you can do lot more things than what you can do with iphone4.

Personally I feel the insane amount for iPhone 4 is not worth the dough. iPod touch offers the same experience sans calls, GPS and a few things, Apart from there's not much difference in apps compatibility/usage. And it saves you almost 15-20K, for which you can get a better Android Phone and get the best of both Worlds

will the warranty be void if i jailbreak the ipod?...i am really looking forward to buying it.

[VarDOS]

^yes the warranty is avoided.

no. if you want to take it to service, go to itunes and restore the stock firmware.

[raj_in]

the iphone4 is abt 199$ so the jailbroken version should be cheaper than 299$(ie the cost of ipod4) i guess

but wht abt the shatterable glass of iphne4

Note i dont have such a huge budget to buy an andriod phone & an ipod touch4

[himadri_sm]

is the iphone4 available in india yet?

[VarDOS]

^yes, get it from ebay

[himadri_sm]

made a mistake with my previous post..i meant the new ipod touch 4(no way i can afford an iphone)...is it available in retail stores like croma or apple's own stores?

[VarDOS]

no the iPod Touch 4G is still not available in stores. The stock in the iStore is expected within 2weeks.

Gonna ask in Alfa at Irla tomorrow.

[desiibond]

I heard that ipod touch 4G is available in Alfa for some 15k (32gig model). do check it out once.

[darkrider114]

When contacted reliance istore in Hyd...they said it will be released on 15th sep all over india in istores....
Will buy it asap wen its released....

Btw can anyone confirm the price in alfa quoted above...

[VarDOS]

@desiibond, if its so then I'll rush from here to get it.

@darkrider, thanks for the info, is it true?; today I've asked a friend to confirm it in the Alfa.

[darkrider114]

When i again called reliance istore yesterday they are saying shipment is delayed to october......

Is it available in grey market anywhere?
