Vodafone India responds to complaints by lowering iPhone 3G pricing

[Indyan]

Its too expensive even at 29k. Should be below 25k.

Ouch for those people who already bought it.

I’m not quite sure but I think they got back the extra money. I’ll confirm it and get back to you tomorrow.

i bought my nokia 9500 Rs36600+2500(black) but for iphone no way its expensive no the reason is they selling in other country on Rs8500 with 1 year contract and here Rs31000 wow its mean we r fool such a scrap man.

For what it's worth the iPhone is worth 17 - 19K at the most. I understand that it's an "Apple", but the features it offers do not warrant the current price. And especially the restricted usage is a turnoff. As more and more people realise this, the market for the iPhone is going to become dead. And that's when the companies will be forced to reduce the price substantially; it's already begun happening, just weeks after the launch. I think the price will come down to 18-20K in a year and a half.

And I bet Nokia is going to launch the N96 at a tempting price. Once that happens, no one except some disillusioned Apple fanatic will buy the iPhone..

… and pigs will finally take to wings.

P.S.: Vodafone didn’t charge anyone the original price after all. I know a guy who booked his iPhone in advance of the launch and still got it for the lowered price.

So only those who bought it from Airtel paid 31/37k?

Well JFYI, Airtel is offering free gprs/edge services (500 MB/month) for 1 year with iPhone 3G

What if this high price is just a marketing gimmick to get people talk more about iPhone Lets wait for some time and see what happens to the prices. After all, they do have a competitor to face in near future!

 

[Maverick340]

cant they at least provide unlimited grprs/edge ??

Rediff claims iPhone prices will fall by upto 15%

Comparing with international rates I would like to see atleast Rs. 15k downward price revision (ie. 16k for 8 GB and 21k for 16 GB). The prices will still be higher than what is being asked at US but nonetheless attractive enough to pull large no. of customers.

Comparing with international prices, iPhone 3G has been priced almost identically in India.

 

[aryayush]

Exactly. Rs. 15,000 would be a fantastic price for the iPhone, and that’s exactly what it’s going to remain—a fantasy.
