Good Morning Pat beta.......

It is in Member Reviews section.......But actually in the Mobile Monster sub-section.....:D

And we should let this remain here, because its every day we see a thread about the iPhone in the Technology News sub-section.

The section is called that, but all news/questions regarding mobiles are posted here. So technically speaking it aint Reviews section ;)

WTF you ppl wrote 4 pages since my last comment? :eek:

Here is a comment from someone which is very true:
That's cheap for most people in Indian cities who routinely spend like $600 on their cell phones. In India it is all about showing off. There are too many rich people who will buy this as a toy for their kids. There is no limit to money and stupid people back home.

By the way, the concept of ipod is lost in India. Ipod stands for DAP and nobody seem to care that the original ipod is from a company
called Apple. The Apple brand recognition is almost close to zero apart from the techies who know what that company is.

Lot of people like their crackberries. They are waiting more for the crackberry bold than this thing.

But I do expect this thing to be sold like hot cakes back home. Like I said there is no limit to stupid people who will spend $700 on a
cell phone.

OK. First question first. Why do you need an expensive phone anyway? After all you just need to make n receive phone calls. You are not a busy executive or CEO who always needs to be connected to his inbox. So yeah, get a $50 phone and be happy. You can waste as much as you want when you start earning.

But again expensive mobile phones are still status symbol in India.

LOL! Alfa is not a Chor-bazaar. It is just a regular shop which sells stuff with bill just like any other shop. Just that their prices are a couple hundred rupees lower than others.

Oh, my apologies then. Since Manan said that he could get a phone that cost 40K in the market at 25K in Alfa, I figured it was a chor-bazaar or something.

Crackberry LOL! I think he meant Blackberry. :D

It’s dubbed “Crackberry” because Blackberry users are notorious for being addicted to their cellphones, generally found tap-tapping away at that keyboard dispatching lengthy emails to people.

Blackberry = Crackberry
iPhone = JesusPhone
Nickname contest winner: iPhone! :p

oh well then tell me dont u really crave for a big or a small LCD TV (unless u already own one)? but u can get a normal TV for a much smaller amount. you have to see television or some movie thats it.

u like to wear branded clothes??? u like park avenue, zodiac, arrows, lee, etc etc.....but why do u buy them when u can go to any roadside shop or a semi-sized shop to get some really cheap clothes...at the end of the day, all u need is something to cover urself.

i dont feel mobiles are like a status symbol. although if u see a CEO of a company walking around with Nokia 3310, then its a matter of status symbol.
what i believe is that the consumer in india has become more demanding and is ready to pay for it. thats why u see more expensive gadgets coming to india.
