Sounds like a fair deal for the kinda h/w provided, and the wide support the product line enjoys. Now if it only gave me a copy paste....

hmmm , turning out to be too expensive for my taste , if it waws 15k or so , would have bought it eyes closed

viralbug · #81 (**permalink**) 6 Aug 08, 03:57 PM

@sarang

The copy paste app is already out and shud b there in the installer 4 for the 2.0

+ i guess its no brainer to get the 3g OFFICIALLY cause u will only njoi the app store apps

if u wanna njoi the better and 90% free/AHEM apps u will need CYDIA or INSTALLER 4 . that means u gotta Jailbreak ur IPHONE so u automatically loose ur warranty aswell ....

BTW the 2.0.1 is out and i guess we shud get the 3g in INDIA with 2.0.1

Uh you don't really lose your warranty if you jailbreak, you can just restore the iPhone to it's official state before sending it in to the service provider if you get any problems.

Your postpaid history will go along with how sooner you get the ifone

12k still 100$ more than US price + Postpaid shit !!! Indian demand is always exploited.

$200 for 8GB
$400 = Rs. 12K for 16GB in US.

I know most Indians are currently eyeing the 16GB model and 8GB will be seen getting obsolete in coming years..
