Truly a phone tht will suit the hands of a dumb blonde who doesnt know jack about the features in her phone, and only wants to flaunt it like a million other of her types..

It deserves this treatment..

Yeah, if i was, i wud have been going GAGA over it, like you,katze.

I prefer productivity over looks and razzmatazz... Windows mobile devices are far more useful than this dumb sh!te...

Perfect synchronization with ur windows desktop.using a windows mobile is just like an extension of ur pc at home..

As for this dumb sh!te,all show..no go..thts what i call the iphone..

So much for iphone coming to India
From vodafone official site

Vodafone - iPhone

The iPhone 3G is available in 8GB and 16GB at Rs 31,000 and Rs 36,100 respectively. And as you have already pre-registered with us, you can get it before others do. All you need to do is drop in at a select Vodafone Store between August 20 and 21 and confirm your booking by paying Rs 10000 through cash or credit card. Don't forget to show the iPhone booking SMS, which you would have received from us, when you visit the Vodafone Store to make the deposit.

What kind of a lame move is this

Those price points are even higher than what the first iPhone sold for in the U.S. and one that most Indians can’t afford. Even considering an IT professional’s average annual salary of $12,000 to $24,000 in India, it’s hard to imagine the device selling well among that

Turns out of course even though it is called iPhone 3G, and that’s what the site lists it as, it is actually only GPRS, which is enhanced 2G. On this Voda page, it says in fine print: “Currently compatible only with 2G networks. Only select features and services are currently available in India.” Remember, India still has no 3G networks to speak of, the Indian government plans to auction off spectrum for the higher-speed networks later this year, which commercial deployments expected in the first half of 2009...even that has been delayed due to political issues.

ridiculous pricing.

i also got the mail today.

i dont give a damn about it.

i will wait for few brats to indulge in and then put it on sale in seconds market

If i am not mistaken, at these rates, this is going to be the biggest flop show in the history of mobile product launches in India.
Will only make the smuggled goods market more lucrative.

So much for jobs saying he will try to keep pricing on par at 200$ everywhere he launches iphone in. They can't even pin this on the taxes.

Arreh,thr r morons with too much bloody money n a brain the size of a walnut...tht is the category they are targeting.

Rest assured, there is no dearth of such morons in india..n they will buy it just to show off.. but, they dont know, tht way, they will only be showing how big idiots they actually are..
