Vodafone Releasing Iphone in India Conformed

[dd_wingrider]

Vodafone's just got a tiny, minor, insignificant announcement to make this morning: it's signed with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten markets, including Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy (so much for Telecom Italia), India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey. Expect the phone later this year -- that's all we know for now. Score one (or ten?) for Voda.

Yes .. Me Too Saw this news in Hindustan Times Business Yesterday !

 

[Pathik]

Yep. Seems Rediff was right after all.

 

[skeletor]

Did they say anything about the price???

 

[dd_wingrider]

^^^ Nothing at all, but now as the provider is fixed, i think it will be done soon enough

 

[iMav]

i hope they don't price it like a gold bar

 

[aryayush]

Well, since the rumours about the carrier turned out to be true, most probably the price was rightly reported too.

 

[prasad_den]

^^ And what was that price...??

 

[Pat]

^^28k

 

[x3060]

thats way too too high .

 

[skeletor]

i hope they don't price it like a gold bar

Well, your hope will not be true......

 

[Kl@w-24]

28K?????

 

[ring_wraith]

Look at the bright side, if it's officially available in India, that means the unofficial [if you get my drift] price is going to lower

 

[aryayush]

Umm… what? That didn't make any sense to me. Care to explain?

 

[iMav]

^^ he means that the gray market iPhone in india will cost less, as now they don't have to import it they can hack the ones available here itself

 

[desiibond]

^^hehe. with the 2nd gen iphone right on the horizon, I will try to get the iphone for some 15k

and get it legal over my vada-fone connection

 

[aryayush]

Weren't you the one of those people who were railing against the iPhone? (I might be wrong.)

 

[desiibond]

dude. I am against the 28k iphone. If it is priced at 15k, well I will give it a try coz that would be the best price that one can spend on this phone. anything higher, there are better alternates.

and not intersted in starting another war.

 

[aryayush]

And what makes you think I am? Stop this stereotyping, all of you. I never initiate wars out here, i.e. if you ignore the distant past.

Ok which would it be, 8 GB or 16 GB. U there! Steve! We need more storage. Are you going to do it or are you going to make us wait.
