Till now there is no update that iPhone had been launched in India and i think that Apple would launch this great device in India after some time ....

It would take some time before iPhone would be launched in India.

Hi peace ...well the best thing u can do is get an iPhone along with some one from US ....cos the thing is that though apple may launch the phone in india in 2008 its going to be costly ranging from 20k to 30 k .....cant say .....
Hence best to get if from US and crack it.
The phone is amazing .....

any idea about the price in kolkata ??? and wat is the panga about the firmware...??? admin ,,,??

Well actually iPhone is not yet launched in India ....if u want to know whether it is launched check the apple website india link so that u can get the exact prices of the apple products and also u will get to know whether iPhone is launched and at what price?

I got an iPhone. Trust me its an amazing device.Well though lot many features are not there but if ur a techie then i really doubt that the new Apple IDE that apple has launched will not be used. More and more apps will keep comming as the IDE is launched ...even i am trying to improve some of the existing apps.

The best part that apple has done is that they have put a high class hardware into that phone hence the only part remaining is software hence no doubt that u will not get a functionality u desire in it.

what's IDE ??? elaborate plese...and where are the apps availaible...?? well ur answers will base my decision of buying thr phone...any idea about the current prices available in the metro's ?? im in kolkata

Well IDE is Integrated Development Environment.
Its kind of a development software that apple has recently launched for the development of application for the iPhone.

Hence u can hope most of the things will be available very soon.
Apple has provided almost all the required hardware in the iPhone now only the need is to get good apps to work on it to server the community.

Well no idea how u will manage to get a piece in kolkata but there are many dealers in Mumbai ...if u would like to ...i dont know about kolkata ....
but one thing is for sure ....if u are going to wait for the official launch of the iPhone in India then probable apple will get it in the indian markets with some service provider agreement in India. Hence we cant say that u will be allowed to switch service providers even in india.Also and if they launch then probably the cost will be more ..something around 25k +
cos if u will check out the apple website for india then check out the prices for APPLE iTouch : itsw something around 17k where as if u get an itouch from US then u get it for something around 13-14k. This was long back now may be they must have dipped the prices but anyways iPhone will be costly after the official launch.

Anyways dude APPLE rocks the market over windows based PDAs or handsets.
Though iPhone is more of an entertainment device more for the showy purpose but i am sure given some more functionality it will be a full proof computer in that small metal casing.

that was great...well...i had an o2 before...xda ii...got bored with the hangin...upgraded it to all the workable versions of WM5 ...at that point of time...bought a GPS reciever to try it...finally sold it..and went back to nokia...am really bored with it...so i have 2 options....the iphone and the HTC 3300..which has a built in GPS receiver and WM5 (it does have free firmware ugrade to 6) but yeah the processor is real weak...a 200mhz omap...
i guess the iphone is way more better...man...ur right about the official price..once it comes out...i would rather get on rite now...how much is it in mumbai ?? and where in mumbai can i get it?? any probs with the 4 gig version ??? or is 8 all is available now...??

Well actually ...i dont know regarding the prices going on there ...but analysing the shopping websites like rediff shopping or say eBay then they were quoting somthing around 20- 25k for the 8Gig phone.
Now i havent checked for the prices.But in mumbai ..u will have to be a bit cautious cas the sellers are very strong in hand magics.......I mean they can sell u the duplicate China made iPhone with the Apple branded lable.....yes it possible one of my friend got fixed in their strategy ...he got a china made iPhone 8Gig piece for just 6k rs and now he has a lot of features but the iPhone doesnot seem to charge many a times ....he is having problem with the camera ....the software crashes many a times ...and lots of problems ....hence u will have to get a good grasp of features of the original iPhone so that u can compare and then get to know the originality.

Well i gues u should go for the 8Gig phone rather than going for a 4Gig phone cos as though apple has stopped manufacturing the 4 gig phones now ....they are all 8 and 16 ...but 8 i guess is sufficient ....ofcourse i dont know ur needs of space.Choose according to ur needs.
And if u ask for 4 Gig phone in the mumbai market then may be ur likely to get an old piece cos apple had that in market long back ...hence it will be also of the oldest firmware ......

went to the market yesterday...they're quoting 24,500 fot the 8 gig version...here....wat do u think about the price...i managed to check the firmware...it's 1.14... and i did see a at&t sim card in it...do u think it's worth picking up...???? and wat do i need to check in the box and eanything else before i get it...
