People have been speculating price and availability of iPhone 3GS in India for a long time now but I have not got a official response from Airtel or Vodafone. So I am not sure how legit this information is until and unless Vodafone or Airtel does not say it .

The Iphone in the US comes with a 2 year contract and a mandatory data plan (30 bucks + fees). Thats why its subsidised. Also existing customers if they want to upgrade half way through their contract, the prices are 299,399,499. So add 200 to all phones if you do not buy a 2 year contract but you are an existing ATT customer. The data plan has to be taken though.
So the bill comes to $75 with taxes for a single iphone.Did I mention the activation fees ( 29.99). Do the math people. By dangling the $99 carrot, they siphon nearly 1800 bucks over the 2 year period.
This would be like buying a phone for say Rs. 8000 and racking a Rs. 3500 bill every month for 2 years.
Sounds mor like EMI to me.

Not confirmed yet. Our carriers still have their mouth shut. I don’t know what are these guys up to. Half month is already gone. lets wait for 23rd of August. Last year iPhone was launched on 23rd August, may be they are planning to launch iPhone 3GS on the same day this time as well.

Anyone got any information on iPhone launch then please let us know.

I think people across the country have misinterpreted Aug ’09 as 9th August which is actually August 2009. If you see the calendar which Apple displays also shows Aug ’09 which is actually Aug 2009. So it would come in August 2009 only but not on 9th August.

One of my stupid interpretation which might be right i.e. Last year it was launched on 22nd Aug 08 which was a Friday and if you notice carefully most of the launches worldwide have been on Friday’s only. So lets see when the most wanted device is making a touchdown on our soil.

Yes, absolutely correct but who would make them understand. I feel Airtel and Vodafone know that iPhone is not meant for Indians. Till date you won’t find much people using it but on the other hand you may find other phones like nokia very popular just because of one thing and that is transfer of files over bluetooth. Indian people who have bought iPhone is purely because for the status symbol. iPhone could have had an amazing market if it was introduced in India like US on subsidiary and not full then at least some amount.

Airtel now will be selling Unlocked iPhone now this time around Vodafone may be selling iPhone on subsidiary as Vodafone did not get the Unlocked option. Lets see what happens.

Apple India, as well as Vodafone and Airtel, have no marketing sense at all.
What works in the US for Apple wont necessarily work for Apple India. Apple US indulge in simplistic, minimalistic marketing, which has an effect over there. Whereas in India, you need more than that for sure.
You need to really put a date of launch at least a month before the actual launch or have they resigned to their fate that the iPhone 3GS will go the way of the 3G.
They need to clarify to the Indian audience about the features and the rectifications ( cut copy and paste, mms, and msg forwarding )
The next thing that they should do is to lower the price a bit and let Airtel and Vodafone offer and persuade its customers to subscribe to internet services hence increasing their earnings, a part of which, could go to Apple.
A Win Win situation for all.

Nice thoughts. Lets see what happens. I don’t think Airtel will provide Unlocked version just like that. There will be some strings attached to it.

Everyone have their own point of view. Things that I like, might be waste of time for you. And Apple products are known for their Quality, they don’t cheat people. They put millions of $ into research of small things which can simply boost a Apple product owner’s productivity and experience. Apple is to boast, and yes if I had one I would boast it. People don’t wanna buy an iPhone because its very costly.

Just answer one question if Airtel or Vodafone were to sell iPhone @ $99 and $199 for 3GS would you not buy it ? Do you remember the madness last year when Steve Jobs announced iPhone to be available in India as well and the price of iPhone.
