According to the latest source and news from Business Standard , Apple Iphones may be officially available in India from September with collabration with Vodaphone and all the guys who are currently busy unlocking iPhones in India would become jobless and would need to find out other ideas to make money.
There are currently many places to buy a iPhone in India but when the news for legal iPhones have come out i guess you can stop buying these unlocked versions and wait for a couple months and get your hands on a legal handset which would have guarantee and all the features perfectly working rather than having any limitations.
There are currently many Apple Stores in India and after this announcement iam very much sure these iPhones would be sold at Apple official reseller stores which are almost at all the metro cities in India. The pricing of these phones is expected at 28000Rs for 8Gb model and the 16Gb model would be rolled in the later stage. Lets wait and watch if this happens in realty on time and if Indian consumers would be able to buy a legal apple iPhone in India in 2008.
price range is too high
i need i phone
hi everyone !
u cn get an 8GB iphone (firmware 1.1.4) for 399$ + taxes = 433$, so thats about Rs.17000… add another 4200 bucks n u cn get a 16GB model…u cn even unlock it urself, there is no need to pay anyone… go to ziphone.org for details…its brilliant… its a pure software unlock, no need to of any hardware modifications…
moreover since firwmare version 2.0 shud be launched in june, it is better to wait till then.. u mst keep checking apple.com for ‘AUTHENTIC’ details as well as subscribe to ziphone.org’s blog… n maybe jst maybe the prices may drop too… jst s speculation at this time…
Cheers !
