The new iPHONE has created a lot of excitement amongst buyers in the Indian market. The gizmo has been in India unofficially for almost a year now. However, the worth of the phone is yet to be gauged.The phone works on only cell phone signals from AT&T in the US. Therefore its usage value in India seems low. The new iPhone is 3G enabled but India does not support that. Therefore one has to wait for upgraded software and an official warranty, which Grey market phones will never provide.
An iPHONE in India’s grey market costs twenty three thousand bucks. A relative flying in from abroad could cost sixteen grand. And now, the official iPhone will sell for close to thirty one thousand rupees. With advantages weighing too low for this new gizmo, owning an Iphone may not be worthy. Both Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Essar will launch the device on Aug 21.
Vodafone, the world's largest mobile phone company by revenue, has been competing with operators and retailers to secure the right to sell the iPhone -- the touch-screen device which combines Apple's popular iPod music player, a video player and Web browser.
Vodafone will sell the iPhone in 10 countries.O2 has described the device as a star performer which draws increased numbers of customers into its stores.
Later this year, Vodafone customers in Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey will be able to purchase the iPhone for use on the Vodafone network,
