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? :lol:

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!

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.

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

Well, just this one time, you should. This is almost certainly going to happen—95% sure.
