iPhone (or the “jesus” phone) would be marketed here in India by Vodafone (and perhaps Bharti Airtel). By all accounts it would be the crappy 2G stuff while rest of the world would see 3G version being rolled out.
iPhone is seriously making a dent in Blackberry’s business model; although as a general user, it doesn’t impress me. Job’s reality distortion field has had it’s effects.
If it is priced beyond 20k, it would be of no use unless one really wants to blow up serious money. It means either you are a bank robber or have amassed hue amounts of money and don’t want Government of India to know about it. A much better option would be to get a smuggled handset from one of these “chor bazaars”, haggle over the price (minus any gurantees) and pray that it doesnt go kaput. Useless option. Vodafone India is being managed by a set of nuts who can at best scratch them without applying their minds to it.

i assume apple to dump their 8gb iphones here in india for like 25-30K. the 16gb edition could easily be sold here for like 35K.
no rival phone in the market would offer as much storage capacity. they might offer 3G but its of no use on indian networks.
indians already pay shite for mobile phones. apple would benefit from that.
