iPhone 3G Launches in India

22 Aug, 2008, 1:30 pm IST | by tech2 News Staff | Mobile phones

The phone we've been waiting for and tracking since the time it was announced has finally been launched.

The Apple iPhone 3G was launched at midnight and the crowd was not as large as the US launched witnessed, the price obviously being the main deterrent. There were people who'd turned up to buy the iPhone, having pre-booked it earlier, but it does seem like the iPhone 3G is being relegated to just a status symbol rather than a fully-functional mobile phone.

The 8 GB version as we'd mentioned first costs Rs. 31000 and the 16 GB version costs Rs. 36100.

People aren't too happy shelling out that kind of money for a phone that we rated 2.5 .

The price of the iPhone did break a lot of hearts set on it and the launch of the N96 could not have come at a better time.

Let us know if you'd go for another phone just to make up for not buying the iPhone 3G and why.
