Reuters reporting that AirTel will launch much-awaited iPhone this month-end (August 22) in India. That’s pretty good, still there are no details about the expected price of iPhone in India… I guess it will be somewhere arounf 18-25K for both 8GB & 16 GB models. 3G Policy for India is also announced recently, but it will take sometime. Well, whatever the price be… Being a mac-geek, I’m waiting to try my hands on iPhone when it launches!!
Well, I love technology in general and yes, I’m going to one of first who buys iPhone 3G when it comes to India. Being an AirTel customer, it is pretty good that I don’t need to change my existing number to move to iPhone 3G, earlier with news that Vodafone will be launching it, I assumed that I might have to move to Vodafone!… And again that updating contacts, new number stuff!
iPhone 3G will come around October this year in India. Earlier there was a news in media that Vodafone will be launching iPhone in India. But it is confirmed now via the PR on Apple web site that AirTel will be launching iPhone 3G in India later this year. I guess Vodafone will be also launching iPhone 3G for their customers too later this year, but it is not confirmed yet.
Soon customers will be able to purchase iPhone 3G at Airtel Relationship Centers. Details of pricing and availability will be announced at a later date. Airtel customers who wish to receive more information on iPhone 3G can send an SMS with keyword "iPhone" to 54321
