Airtel and Vodafone thinks Indians have a lot of money to spend and would be ready to shell out 31000Rs+ for a useless device, here are 8 reasons why you should not Buy a Apple iPhone 3G in India.<\/p>\n

\"Buy<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Overpriced phone<\/strong> – The price of Rs. 31000 for 8 GB and Rs. 36100 for 16 GB<\/a> models is not satisfactory and into budget of everyone. It is approx. $800 and $900 respectively, which is 4 times the same in U.S. Do airtel and vodafone realize that most of the services in iPhone are locked and that gadget would not sell easily in that high price.<\/li>\n
  2. No 3G<\/strong> – 3rd Generation technology is still not available in India, so the traditional slow speed internet is seen, when compared to the high-tech fast speed seen in the U.S. Facilitation of many new applications is not possible due to lack of 3G in India.<\/li>\n
  3. Camera<\/strong> – It is 2 MP, and the very basic one which Nokia had already being giving since the start of N-series mobiles. And now there are many other mobiles in India which have 5 MP cameras, so why just 2 MP in iPhone.<\/li>\n
  4. Can’t share with bluetooth<\/strong> – It isn’t just like any other Nokia phone. You can’t share music files, images or videos through bluetooth. What for is this mobile for?<\/li>\n
  5. No video recording or flash<\/strong> – There is no flash attached to the camera and video recording can not be done. So this phone is just for making calls and we are gonna pay a hefty sum for just a phone of no use.<\/li>\n
  6. Battery drain problems<\/strong> – As reported here(http:\/\/www.thewwwblog.com\/apple-iphone-3g-battery-problems-reported.html<\/a>), battery keeps draining very fast and needs charging very frequently, if not taken care of well. In India, the usage of phones is not in a very safe and conservative way, so phone like iPhone won’t stay long if the type and way of usage is not changed.<\/li>\n
  7. Video calling not possible<\/strong> – Video calling is also not possible as there is just a single camera on the back, whereas there are many Nokia N-series phones that have dual camera and front camera helps in video calling.<\/li>\n
  8. Everything requires iTunes<\/strong> – Windows computers can not easily adjust with it, as every installation or transfer from or to the iPhone needs the Apple iTunes and very few Indians use iTunes or actually have it installed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
