Apple iPhone 3G Price in India Starts Rs 31000
Vodafone has announced the price of Apple iPhone 3G in India. The 8GB iPhone and 16GB iPhone will be available for Rs 31000 and Rs 36100 respectively in Delhi and you have to pay extra for data and voice plans. Now that is expensive.
Apple iPhone Pricing in India
Apple iPhone is being released in India on August 22 and Vodafone and Airtel will officially sell iPhones in India. Vodafone has announced their iphone pricing plans, but Airtel is yet to officially do so. The data and voice plans rates have yet to be officially announced. Compare this with iPhone pricing plans in US on AT&T. The price will definitely be a limiting factor for sales in India.
Vodafone had earlier opened pre-registration for the Apple iPhone. If you had pre-registered with Vodafone, then you can grab the iPhone before others do. Visit select Vodafone Stores between August 20 and 21 and confirm your booking by paying Rs 10000 through cash or credit card and show the iPhone booking SMS, which you received when you visit the Vodafone Store to make the deposit. They will give you an appointment date and time starting August 22, when you can come and experience a full demonstration as well as collect your iPhone 3G, all ready to use with your contacts and settings, by paying the balance amount.
Remember you will need a Vodafone connection for your iPhone 3G if you use their plans. They have limited iphone stocks and available on a first come, first serve basis. The launch day buzz is always great to look out for. Be prepared for the long lines at stores soon.
Update: Looks like Vodafone just removed the price from that link. Maybe they are rethinking the pricing.

What Rs. 8990 phone for Rs. 31000. This is probably the biggest joke of the year. That is why we Indians prefer to get these gizmos from foreign market and unlock them. .
This is absurd pricing still Vikram, what an absurd strategy by apple-vodafone/airtel. instead they could keep a 2 year contract with a nominal monthly rental and reduce the price as well. Because anyway they are locked phones in india too with that price. This price will never work in india. And still the mobile phone market in that 3g range will still be ruled by the bulky n series NOKIA phones, i guess.
Or we could wait for samsung omnia instead. :)
Another classic example of where all the top thieves survive is this release of Apple 3G Iphone in India. 31000INR??? Are you freaking kidding me? I bought one in US for just $199 (approx. Rs.8000)… Dude, India is going down the drain… There is no wonder people opt for foreign goods and why wouldn’t we? if we are getting genuine products at an honest price… The only way to standup against this is not to buy from these sellers… But some people just can’t wait… Anyway, its people’s money and they can spend it the way they want… But the Indian companies are fooling the people… To hell with them, I ain’t buying Indian.
Guys
Don’t be crazy to buy iphone 3G by paying Rs.31000
instead go for HTC Touch Diamond(4GB) or HTC Touch Cruise or
Nokia N76 that has mobile TV,16GB Flash memory,Wi-Fi
