selling locked GSM phones in India.......bad day for Indian cellular user

but i hope that rediff writer is sum kind of a luddite

[sai_cool]

i hope the carrier plans come with some kind of contract based phone rental.

28000 initial payment for the phone alone is too high.

[shashank_re]

I would rather buy a grey mkt iPhone than paying 28k for this just because it offers 1yr warranty!

[desiibond]

For 28k, I would buy SE W960i instead of iphone.

[slugger]

The Apple retail sources also did not rule out Apple extending universal access for iPhone users to all major telecom carriers in India.

same source

:sob:

[Pathik]

Wth!!! The iphone dnesnt deserve a penny more than 16k.. for 28k i wd get a n82 and a psp slim.

[juggler]

^^^ very correct

[sai_cool]

n82 rocks and is way better than dumb old iphone.

btw, se w960i is a real iphone killer.

plus, nokia's iphone killer n96 is on its way too.

so much for buying an iphone!

[Edburg]

^^n96 is the successor to n95 and not iphone killer...

the touch screnn phone of nokia is code named tube and will launch later

[m-jeri]

wait wait ppl......

price is too much..yes..this threads topic is that...ok.....

dont post dumb things like iphone sucks and all...u have to use it and see...
it makes all the phones u seen and used like neo-lithic....

yes it has flaws too.....

but all the phones u just said here could never be compared to iphone...

and n96 is not the iphone killer....its tube...another diff model....
and killer..we'll see....i say blitz naah....iphone is too good for that...

+ 10000000000

This is the best news I've heard! I was hoping that the date of official release would be after august. September is perfect. And 28k! LOL! That's a little too much considering that the $400 iTouch 16GB costs 22k officially.

[sujoyp]

what rubbish...apple got mad

They will launch an outdated product in september

They need some marketing lessons from india

[goobimama]

Though you never know. This could very well be a publicity stunt by rediff. Apple hasn't given any official word on the iPhone release in India. And considering that the word came first from Apple about the release of the iPhone in the rest of the countries... one can only doubt...

And the SE 960i is not an iPhone killer. Far from it.

[x3060]

so much for me buying that thing . . i am replacing my 750 with 960 unless this ones price comes down

Though its interface isn't like iPhone's, but it has certainly got lots of more features which have been missed by iPhone.

[m-jeri]

@desi....

without vinamratha crap.....piss off.....

u dunno abt iphone no right for open ur mouth against it...
how the hell does a single phone becomes a threat to entire mobile industry that all are pissed abt..

[desiibond]

^^ reported abuse.

FYI, by posting such rude words, it's only you that will lose value. Just look at this thread. 90%+ says that iphone is not worth the price. And everyone agree that w960i is a better phone overall.

So, think twice before you post.

FYI, I have used the iphone for full week to test it out top to bottom and also tested W960i (not for a week but for couple of hours). My question is, did you even touch W960i and I am pretty sure that you don't even have iphone. It's just the craze that is making you believe that it's the best phone.

:sob:

[desiibond]

^^best for you

[m-jeri]

but i will stand with wat i say...i cant tolerate with ppl who says any crap.....have u ever seen it...so stop being a baby....

:Glee:

kiddo i am using 16gb....so stop being judgemental...90%.......hmm let me see....ya ur wrong.....

u cant even compare 960 to iphone...i will lose my value..dont worry ill make it up ...


ps. and yeas i am sorry for abusing u..u needed it...

Yeah. And likewise. There are some awesome features on the iPhone that are totally non existent on whatever else put together. Just looking at the negative isn't going to get you anywhere.
