It’s pretty much common sense and a general understanding that whenever people refer to who sells a particular product and who doesn’t, they’re differentiating only on the basis of official sellers. By your mind-numbingly stupid logic, even those people in Heera Panna Market who set up shop to sell iPhones in one corner of their jewelry store are “resellers”. The fact that you mentioned eBay in your list just goes to show how much you believe in your own story.My my, loads of bullshit.Where was the word "officially" in this post of yours? (quoted below). You mentioned it later once I labeled your below-quoted post as "bullshit", which still holds true..........lol.
As of today, only Apple, AT&T, and Best Buy sell the iPhone in U.S.A.. And when someone says “sell”, they mean officially, with warranty, and in their position as genuine resellers of the parent company. When someone wants to talk about unofficial, gray markets, they mention it specifically—not the other way round.
Throwing in the word “bullshit” five times in two sentences doesn’t make you sound convincing—it makes the reader think about who’s the bullshitter here and who’s the bullshittee, and I think you know the answer to that one!

Yeah, that’s Samir, a.k.a. shadez. He used to be a Digit employee too.Hey is the author of this article, by any chance, a friend of yours?
I don’t know about Manan but Preshit was indeed a celebrity. Everyone on Twitter was tuned into his live video coverage and tweets and he got interviewed live on national television (NDTV).
(You’ll hear more about it in the first episode of the Smoking Apples podcast, due in a couple of days.)

I bet a 3 year old K750i has got better camera functions & a hell lot better camera than iPhone....
Their camera quality can't even be compared but atleast Apple could have provided some basic customizing features.....
And shouldn't a fone for which people are going to pay 31K should have a good camera?? By a good camera I don't mean the Megapixels, I mean the quality and features......
A 7K K750i (now stopped) and 9K W810i take million times better pictures than the iPhone and yes, they're 2mp camera phones......
You guys have the full right of saying "iPhone rocks" a million times and it seems like I shouldn't have the right of saying "iPhone sucks" a million times (from your perspective)......Isn't this a public forum?

Its the look-style that makes iPhone overpriced.I think they charge 20K for the design itself.And talking about video camera- how many of you use mobile video camera ? Its better to get a handycam if you want to shoot videos.Afterall a phone is meant just for calls. And if u want great looks of phone get the iPhone!

^^ Well, its like saying the same thing....Mobiles are just meant for Calling & Receiving calls...Get a Nokia 1100 then.
Today, people don't need just a mobile for talking......They need everything packed in one device....
Carrying both a Mobile and a Handycam isn't 'Handy'......Handycams don't fit in a pocket that mobiles do......Mobiles with video recording aren't meant for replacing Handycams, Handycams will obviously be a ton times better in terms of quality, Mobile just provide a 'feature' that can be 'used'.....A feature doesn't mean that 'it is to be used'...It means that 'it can be used'......
I hope you got my point.

itna flaming ek iPhone keliye?
Sweep it under the rug guys,
there is no point in proving whose right as everybody's right in their own prospective....
As far as the iPhone is concerned,
It does have its flaws, but which device doesnt?
If you dont want the iPhone, look elsewhere. Plain and Simple
IMO,
Its better to wait for the prices to fall...

What about the call clarity in that nokia phone?
And FYI There are already many Pocket "Handycams" available in the market.Granted, they are expensive But they do their job.
And I see nothing wrong with iPhone not giving video recording facility.Everyone cannot have everything.Similarly, the iPhone cannot have everything.Also this is a 3G Phone and the cost is justified - Cool Looks,3G,Safari browser .
Also remember Apple is for Quality.Agreed they dont provide certain features,but the features that they have provided work perfectly.Also I dont think many Indians will like iPhone due to its price.But I still say the price is justified

Carrying both is a mess.....But anyways, its upto the person what set of features he or she wants to have in a phone. If one can live without a missing feature, then he can get the gadget which he wants to get. One who has made up his mind to get the iPhone will definitely get it........I can't stop him. But I can surely tell an unaware guy about its missing features.
I'm here, to help people, who'll be using the Google search engine to search about the iPhone and may be fully unaware of what the iPhone lacks. eg. They may think that a 31K phone will be obviously having Bluetooth as a 4K phone has......But they may be wrong.
A 6K Nokia 6233 is also a 3G phone......
What quality? Quality of flaunting/looks or quality of usability & features??......

I have seen 20k+ phones dont have Bluetooth.
And yeah apple is for quality of Looks and I Say unless you have had an iPhone for yourself DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT IT unless you TRY it.True,It may provide less features but the features they provide are perfect and quality.

I bet they'll be age old phones or they'll not be from good companies like SE and Nokia........
An even if you've seen a 20K+ fone without Bluetooth, have you seen a 30K+ phone without Bluetooth......
I've used it.....I agree that Safari and the web browsing experience is the best.....

If you seriously think that anyone gives a **** about what someone is shouting in a packed hall, you’re delusional. Most people wouldn’t have paid any attention and those who did must have thought that he was just jealous or something. Doing this sort of stuff in public is really stupid, IMHO. It was stupid when someone egged Ballmer, it was stupid when this guy ran into a conference hall with a cardboard proclaiming “open source rocks” or something, and it was stupid when Manan shouted “iPhone sucks” at a crowded iPhone launch party. And it’s especially egregious because he’s an Indian and we’re supposed to know better.
