    So bad, iPhone wont come here in egypt any soon ..

    and My Brother is Just Obsessed with it .. It is nice, But got LOTS of missing stuff !!

    About the n96 .. I like the tracker thing.. so if it is STOLEN, I can trace it ?

    Without the need of a SIM .. and If the sim is changed, can I still trace it ?

    I never mentioned that iPhone is the best. Its just because people love Apple products and its sleek design and features.. although there are many phones having double the features that iphone has.

    But for that iPhone with lesser prices, is the price of $800 a good one?

    Nah! It can't be more than $200 in India. If they want to sell more phones then price should be around 10K to 15K.:)

    These guys are charging the advertising costs on the consumers and unlike AT&T there are no post paid plans announced yet.

    Guys
    $200 = Rs 8600 aprox
    You'll want the phone to be that cheap?
    I don't think iPhone is worth 33k-36k
    But its worth 15k-17k MAX!

    If people are really falling for iPhone.. Wake up!
    N96 Rulez!

    I wouldn't suggest HTC as I have not seen their support centers.
    Go for Nokia if your in India.. there are many Nokia Galleries in India ;)

    Good Luck~!

    I know you are sticking well to your point, but i still tell you that there are many many apple product lovers in India too. And they might want this iPhone but the maximum one would like is for 20k, higher than that would just be out of budget.

    The prices are very high.. its not 200$ in US.. by the end of two years you have to pay the compnay 426$ but in india you are paying 758$ just while buying...and the most sickest part in india is exploitation. In US when apple dropped the price of the IPhone by 100$ people who bought it previously were give a $100 rebate.. But such things will never happen in INDIA.
