    I know many ppl like me in india were waiting for the official launch of iphone by vodafone and airtel today, and many of us would had dreamt of buying it day one itself.

    I for one had saved around 20k rs to buy the iphone on the day of launch and even prebooked it, but due to its price now bieng revealed to be 31k and 36100 rs i think i will have to wait for another few weeks to buy this sexy phone.

    However was curious if any of the dp member here had purchased the iphone today in india or is gonna buy it in next two three days (at this crazy price) than do post here.... i wanna see how many are as crazy as me to buy it at this price too.

    I don't live in India, but I'm also looking forward to buying an iPhone in the future. Easily one of the best phones ever made :)

    I don't live in India, but in the US I picked it up on the first day, got in line at 4AM and the line was all the way down the block, I got lucky!

    The price is high, but I would recommend like a family plan with your family and unlimited texting, then just add a $30 data plan for your iPhone, then over a course of 2 years your paying a little under $1000 for the phone and data plan. Still expensive, but worth it if you got the cash!

    I don't think so that anybody in India from DP bought the iPhone today :rolleyes: Its overpriced as per members comments in other thread here at DP. Hope they decrease price for the same. I'll also buy one for me but if its in my price range (around 20k).

    Surely after paying for two years' tarrifs the amount would be greater than $426? In the UK the cheapest tarrif is like £30/month I think..
