The last iPhone I saw, did not have the function to forward an SMS (a facilty required by 99% of Indian mobile users).

As per sales figures reported by both Airtel and Vodaphone (sorry can not divulge the source), the iPhone had been a resounding failure in the Indian market.

yes thats correct, iPhone is a failure in Indian market.

Reason : Most of the Indian people are middle classed and cant afford to have it, some people even who can afford it will think of its features, some more people who are willing to buy it will compare it with other costly phones and find them having more features at a lesser price... and now the left one's who find it very difficult or dont know how to spend money will buy it...!
(No offense intended for those people who bought it)

I was lost on the streets of New Delhi and my first generation iPhone (the one that doesn’t even have GPS) brought me home without my having to go around asking people which way to go. There is no other phone in the world that could have done that.

As for the suggestion that people who buy iPhones are stupid and don’t know what to do with their money, well, as someone who spent only Rs. 27,000 on his unlocked 16GB iPhone and has since earned more than Rs. 50,000 off it, I think I wouldn’t be able to retain my polite tone if I were to counter that sentiment, so I’ll just shut up now.

The maps application (gps) on the phone is one of the many advantages, along many other such as the wide range of other applications which you can download whether its something religious, games or something else, its pretty impressive!

Moreover sms forwarding and saving files while browsing is still an issue with iPhone....

I have ended up selling my iphone, i didn't like it at all. Well it was ok, bu there was no good advantages, bluetooth was ok but the the downside was that you cant transfer files using connectivity with other phones! I didn't like the sms system either!
