iPhone Launched

[Ecko]

8GB - Black 16GB - Black / White
The Apple iPhone 3GTM, the phone everyone's waiting for, is now available on Vodafone.
With fast 3G wireless technology, Maps with GPS, support for enterprise features like
Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more amazing features in
your hands. And just like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one - a
revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML
email and full web browsing. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do - again.
Price : 31K & 36K (rounded off)
None of the UsagePlans atleast by Vodafone was able to impress me
So get ready to choose some other carrier

Too costly for the features offered.

Other makers like Nokia's N96 offers much more for similar cost. Also, without lock-in to a specific service provider.

[anispace]

what crappy plans!!! Firstly we have to buy it for Rs. 31000 then pay Rs. 799pm just to use it as a phone and then Rs. 100 pm just for activating edge\gprs and further 5ps per 10kb of download.

Whats the use of charging so much if they arent even subsidising the cost of the phone?

This isnt the iPhone everyone was waiting for

[chandru.in]

^^ Come on you have this cool new phone. To own such a luxury you have to pay up. It is from Apple.

Just came back from the launch; possible ltechnical glitch found in iPhone registration that might enable one to use iPhone obtained from anywhere with Airtel or Vodafone sim.

WINDOWS being USED TO ACTIVATE iPhone!!!!!

Mobile Store to be retailer for iPhone too.

Around 30 people bought the iPhone.

The person who was second got his phone almost an hour late.

I shouted iPhone sucks when there was pin drop silence seconds before the launch! Yay!

@imav, u posted this at 2:07 am. so u went at night after 12:00 to buy the iphone???

oh well the data plans suck. but cant we buy the iphone without the plans. i mean i dont want any "data" things on my iphone..like browsing and stuff. still do i need to take this plan?

[chandru.in]

@moshel

Such forced high cost plan options are one good reason to ditch iPhone and choose a far better one like Nokia N96 which can be officially used with any SIM without waiting for the permission of the so called God (read as Apple / Steve Jobs).

But hey it is from Apple and so they are premium if you don't want to give them a biiiiig wallet you have no eligibility to be their customer. Choose a more feature rich phone like the model I suggested above.

[gary4gar]

why is iPhone operator locked even when we are paying the full price and fully *own* the product.

its my phone,why does anyone decide whom i am gonna use it with?

[chandru.in]

Possibly because Apple is different.

Or may be Apple believes that if you open the back cover to insert a SIM or change battery you'll understand the whole architecture of the phone and will make duplicates.

Or Apple doesn't know how to make a back cover that can be opened along with the smooth curve edges which makes Apple a so called premium brand.

The gadget is cool no doubt, but the market has a host of viable options now........ flaunty, extreme.......and "un-restrictive", financially and freedom-wise.......But the "iPhone-in-India" is a thing worse than used and soiled toilet paper on a dirty wet bathroom floor.

But kudos to Crapple for their intense advertising campaigns, with people in dark black rooms fidgeting with the device.......

When I wonder why some people hang their tongues out for the iPhone, it's really a simple conclusion: There are people in this world who click on ads that say "You've won our hourly prize!" or "Your PC can perform faster. Scan now!".........so that's that.

I wish all "about-to-be-iPhone-3G-owners-in-India" a happy "prove-you-are-an-asshat" day!

(Mods, easy on me please. You know that the iPhone rocks, but the iPhone-in-India thing just sucks.....awwww, c'mon admit it).

[The Conqueror]

Overpriced

[ax3]

Waise iPhone hai bhi is layak, if you plan to sell it at three times the price like apple is doing ,pls inform me , i am ready to take it for 1200/- .

[theKonqueror]

Arey bhai, 400 USD...

[krates]

dosto ne order kar liya hai they are asking 10k advanced

[D@rekills4]

I rejected iPhone
Reason - When I went to the shop
They told me that only some Sim Cards will work in this mobile
I accepted that
Then they said that it can be connected to only one PC and if you connect it to another one then all your data will be lost!! LOL!!
Then they told me to fill in the form to verify that I will not unlock it in the Gray Market
Thats why I rejected it!!
I will directly buy it online!!
Totally Unlocked!!
