Did you see those n00bs who petitioned there ? They are totally stupid and clueless.
May be......
They think that Indians are being overcharged compared to the US without even looking at the plans.
They got unlimited 3G and even HSDPA........And we don't even have 3G at the moment. And whatever the plan may be, they can easily afford a $69 per month plan. Plus, they can easily utilize each and every function of iPhone3G in their country.
When 3G is going to be launched, then you'll see the plans being tripled for the 3G subscribers. You may be surely knowing that TRAI is auctioning the spectrum??.....Telecom operators will try to recover the money which they paid in the auction as soon as possible...
3G prices will further go up.
Haha, in the end do you think that a phone that lacks so much of basic but important features should be insanely priced like this.....
And yes, most probably (may be not), the Contract-Free iPhone is going to be available @ 599$ in the US (as some people posted in the forum) thats still quite less than the 750$ Network-Locked iPhone3G launched here.
Whatever the reasons may be, Indians are being looted by Apple-Airtel-Vodafone through the iPhone.
There are MANY.

May be you're also a n00b, as you don't know that SearchID links don't work....
PS: I'm a also a n00b as there is no limit of gaining knowledge. If you'll not be a n00b, then you're surely not going to learn.
