Airtel Reveals Official Release Date for iPhone 3G: 22 Aug

[nvidia]

Will the iPhone cost 8k + contract or more than 8k w/o the contract in India?

 

[Pathik]

It will cost 20-24k without contract or 16-18k with contract IMO.

 

[goobimama]

$600+taxes+import duty will bring the contract-free phone to around 28-30k. With contract will be at least 18k.

 

[nvidia]

^^oh.. I thought Apple said that it would cost 200$ globally with contract

 

[goobimama]

Yeah right. Except we don't have $50-$100 per month contracts out here.

 

[NucleusKore]

iPhone costs 8k in US the operators heavily sudsidize the fone and add costly monthly plan with it (u hav to sign a contract) but out here in India the story is gonna be a little diff.

It would be better they charged full price and gave us an unlocked phone

 

[skippednote]

It would be better they charged full price and gave us an unlocked phone

[salilrane]

Any predictions about when Vodafone or Airtel will ANNOUNCE the pricing?
What the pricing is can be anybody's guess... lots of rumours flying around.... but atleast any idea whether the pricing will be announced on 22nd itself or a few days before that?
