Iphone in India

After much speculations and wait Iphone has finally been launched in India.Pretty sweet as it is one of the best mobile communication device i have seen so far.You can use it as a regular phone, browse internet, listen to music take pictures in low resolution and browse mutiple applications such as gps, yputube etc. There is a lot of cry that Iphone is very expensive more expensive than it is in the U.S. It cost's around an exorbitant Rs 31,000 for the 8 GB version and Rs 36,100 for the 16 GB one which is out of reach of a common mobile user and with no 3G yet in India browsing is going to be slow. If you compare the price Iphone costs more in the U.S.For instance an average user like me will spend around Rs. 700 a month in talktime.Airtel offers 1.5gb of internet usage at Rs 700 so the monthly charge comes out to be around 1400 now if you use it for 2 years it is around 33,600 for usage and 31,000 for the hardware which together equals 65,000 approx.Now in US the equipment cost is almost Rs. 8360 and billed at Rs 3360 per month, again if you use it for two years your total together with the equipment comes out to be a whooping Rs 89,000 which is almost Rs 14,000 higer or to breakdown monthly you will spend approx Rs 583 per month more in US. It has been available in the grey market for quiet some time in India and starting september unlocked model of iphone is going to be avaible around Rs. 25,000 in the US. So why cry enjoy your iphone in India and ask for 3G to be launched.
