Something you didn’t expect - iPhone in Mumbai
iPhone is the most expensive phone known to me. I’ve never been into cellphones and iPhone is something which I don’t really care about. For those interested, here is something you’d be interested in.
India to Get Unlocked iPhones via the Gray Market
If you’re poking around the city of Mumbai, you may be able to enjoy the Apple iPhone sooner than the official launch in the area next year. It seems that the gray market has completely opened up shop, providing celebrities and other well-to-do folks with unlocked Apple cell phones, but it’ll cost them a premium, of course.
I’ve seen unlocked iPhones already showing up at online stores in Canada and the United States, so I don’t see why they can’t do the exact same thing and ship the glossy musical handsets across the pond. Naturally, users in India may not get the full functionality of the iPhone, because many of the features may be AT&T specific, like visual voicemail.
Gray market dealers are offering to SIM unlock the iPhone for as little as Rs 1,000 (US$25), but that’s assuming that you can get your hands on an iPhone in the first place. Alternatively, they are also selling pre-unlocked units for Rs 30,000 (US$700). That’s for the 4-gigger.
If this is indeed true, I may get lucky to see the iPhone in person very soon.

the iphone! why is everybody going so ga ga over it!?!??
apart from the product itself, the other thing that makes these is so wanted is the hype, inability to access. its human nature to crave for something you cant have, apple knows this, works it right. insanely priced macs, ipods, now the phone. bah! am tired of the whole ifanboy air going around.
no and am not saying because i cant have it! ..lol

Add Rs.450 for Blue Dart shipping anywhere within India. Phone will ship from Delhi.
Pls note that there is US State Tax + FedEx shipping charge + Customs duties involved on top of the US retail price of the iPhone, hence the price is what it is by the time it lands in India.

If someone picks up from Delhi shipping charges will be waived.
