Low price from Apple is total turn off man !! I was expecting 25K 3G iPhone!! What about snow Leopard ??

 

[dinesh72]

Nothing to show off, everyone will have one

 

[yash]

Isn't volume desirable? more people out there who experience one awesome apple product might be encouraged to try out/buy more apple products..

 

[aryayush]

The plastic back is there to help reception. That’s what the black non-metal part in the first iPhone is for. Now they’ve expanded it to cover the full back because there are more receivers in there (3G, GPS) and to improve the quality of reception on regular calls.

I only hope it looks crappy.

If the 16GB iPhone 3G lands in India for anything less than 20K, I’m making another trip to Goa, to kill Milind. I might make a stop at Mumbai and kill Preshit too, for starting it all.

Milind was all, like, “Dude, you’re missing out on it. You’re a Macworld author and you don’t have an iPhone. How shameful is that? Look at my shiny iPhone. I’m so cool.”

There’s only so much a guy can take before he snaps.

Goobi beer from my side next time I come to Goa

One good news: MobileMe subscribers get both an ‘@mac.com’ and ‘@me.com’ email address each. That’s so cool. I’ll have ‘aryayush [at] mac [at] com’. I kinda like ‘@me.com’ too though…

I had to take you down with me dude! I knew this was coming, how could I face it all on my own? In any case, I have no regrets.

LOL! Yeah, come to think of it, me too. The only two things it adds on the hardware level are 3G and GPS, neither of which are any use in India, much less places like Siliguri and Bardez.

Plus, when this iPhone becomes as common as electric poles (as it is bound to be), we'll be the owners of one of the rare sexy, metallic iPhones. I don't have any regrets either (except the lack of warranty).

@Goobi I was wondering the same thing. You coaxed Arya to buy the damn thing cause you did not want him to mock you today. Beer cancel. If you would not have bought it & still made Arya buy it, the beer would have been a definte.

 

[goobimama]

Bhai I've got four beers in the fridge, and 6 more in a crate. No one is drinking them cause of the rains.

@aayush: the only mistake we made was not getting it a little sooner. October/november would have been perfect.

 

[jamesbond007]

I am still disappointed with the lower price!! I hope 16GB Version is above 25K. I wish I purchased it earlier!!!!

 

[goobimama]

^^ You crazy or something? Doesn't make sense at all!

Hmm.. You know those quarry people? They apparently have Snow Leopard infestation in their mines (the place where they drill the stones). For now they are just attacking the teaServers, later on will attack regular people as well. Weird that I should post this in the Apple thread.

 

[preshit.net]

India doesn't get the iPhone starting July 11th. It's still "Coming Soon" on the Apple page.

 

[aryayush]

Yes, it’s not in the top twenty countries. When has Apple given India any preference anyway!

 

[jamesbond007]

God damn iPod touch cost more than iPhone !! Why Steve why ??
No iPhone in India on Jul the 11th !! Why Steve why ??
No 3G, no GPS in India anytime soon !! Why Steve why ?? ....Oops why India why ??
I am actually disappointed ....

 

[aryayush]

I kinda understand where you’re coming from. The disparity in iPhone and iPod touch pricing bamboozles me too.

 

[dinesh72]

If it had to come on July 11th, would it be sim free in India?
