This is what I m talking about.

When the minimum wage in UK is around 6 pounds an hour, a ticket on the subway is 3 pounds, suddenly 260 pounds doesn't seem like a lot. And yes, it does command such a price.

@pathiks: I see. Then that's really good. Although, if you are buying from O2, you will have to sign up for the contract while buying it (at least that's what i assume it would be).

Why don't they understand that iPhone does not command such a price

Maybe because people are buying it by the truckloads so far, without the warranty, at whatever price they can get it at? If you were Apple and you had a hot product that people were queuing to buy, would you not want to eek the maximum profit out of it? Steve Jobs is running a business and the bottom line is all that matters in the end.

Having said that, a price of Rs. 28,000 for the 8GB, if this rumour turns out to be true, is way too much. For a little more than that, you can buy two of those from the United States—screw the warranty!

Thats not correct..You can walk in to a CPW or O2 store, buy an iphone for 169 pounds and move out freely!
