Bookings for 3G iPhone in India Started with Vodafone
Vodafone seems to the first official player to get Apple iPhones in India though the official statement from Apple claimed to have a agreement with Bharti Airtel. Vodafone has already started offering Pre-Registration of your post paid connection with a iPhone 3G. Vodafone the company which was already in India on the name of Hutchison Essar deals in Prepaid & PostPaid mobile phone services and its announced that these new connections would currently be 2G and not 3G because of limited features in Indian telecom industry.
Bharti Airtel now claims that they would launch Apple iPhones around the end of the year but the dates have not been specified. Vodafone is planning to grab all the future customers who would look to buy a iPhone by this Pre-Registration process.
Here is the process to Book your iPhone Today :
Select ‘I want a new connection’ and from the drop down menu select your city/state. You can find all the plans and features on this section which would be like 8GB and 16GB version, Assisted GPS, New applications, Greater autonomy & Microsoft Exchange.

Any guess of Pricing.. If they decided to sell the 3G iphone for Rs:8500/- what will happen to other top models which are selling for 2k – 2.5 k ?

Its India i dont think they would launch in real cheap price. I guess it would still be a price betweek 10-14k Indian Rupees.

iphone 3G of 199$ can’t be true if at all the indian market is considered…..it will definetly go to around 14-16k……..bcoz if it sells for such a low price what about the other cell phone manufacturers like NOKIA and SONY ERICCSON……will they allow APPLE to sell a phone with such high features at a low cost?????????????????????

@ Dheeraj : No you need to signup with Airtel or Vodafone post paid in order to use a iphone.
@ Lakshman Nirmalwad : iPhone 3G is currently priced in the range of 350-500USD based on different stores and post paid signup plans with AT&T, but in India the case would be different, though dont expect it to be lower than 13000Rs in any case because these sellers wont sell for cheap in any case.
