ofcourse just like I-Phone its gonna cost more in India ....
I dont agree with you ... I phone does not cost $199 its way more then that..

All around the world the price of an Iphone is almost in the same range +-10-15%

If you find $199 I phone without a contract any where in the world let me know.. ... I will buy thousands of them and ship them her in India and sell them at gaffar market on patri at $250 a peice... will sell like hot cakes... I am sure at Rs10000 you would buy one aswell.

Please do not mistake a contract phone with the real price.

If you still do not agree please post a link to a page where its being sold... I will clear your doubts

iphone 3G in U.S. markets is priced at around $200... ~ Rs.10000...

In Indian market its price tag is in between Rs. 30-35K.... iphone & G Phone both r getting launched with 2 service providers... vodafone & other is probably airtel...bsnl might b there 2....not sure... it means...we can't use sim of a different provider in future... ofcourse hacked piece will show up pretty soon...

I read about iPhone in a mag. "chip"... it says its available in rest of world at a price $199 for 8 GB... and $299 for 16 GB... It also says that airtel & vodafone b'lieve that the contract system which works abroad can't be enforced in India, so Indian consumers will have to shell out the full price of the phone, sans any subsidies or "in-plan" charges($699 & $799 respectively).
It also mentions the problem that despite paying the full price, and with no contract obligations, it'll still be locked for use on the network you bought it from (and you can't buy one without being an existing subscriber or signing up for new connection on the spot)... In its view, this is totally unfair, considering the entire GSM market in India works with unlocked phones...

Other major provider-related negatives include no support for visual voice mail, no ability to pay for downloads or value-added services as part of your bill...

Same was the case with I-Phone !!! The only liberty will be if the G-Phone dosen't come bundled with an Service Provider...
Do you really think Nokia, Samsung, Erricson, Motorola and like will allow G Phone to enter India at such a price...... ??
Impossible !! It has a huge Lobby to Face !!!

There is hardly anything Nokia or other manufacturers can do... If Gphone is available at less then 10000Rs here I wont be surprise if it breaks all previous records

expect the price to be anywhere from 20000-25000..... don't expect it to be cheap. But at any cost, it is a lot better than iPhone.... you can install anything on your Gphone... don't have to take anyone's permission.
