Unlocked iPhones Enter Mumbai Gray Market

The Mumbai gray market seems to be brimming with the latest offerings in the market. You can get the iPhone (unlocked and running) for a whopping Rs. 52,000. Hopefully, seeing as only this morning some sleepless soul managed to make a hardware-free hacking method to unlock the phone, enthusiasts won't have to wait for a day at Heera Panna for the unlocking to happen.

Also, with Apple announcing the latest iPod Nano only last week in the US, some shops in Heera Panna (the gray haven in Worli in downtown Mumbai) have started stocking them already. While the official launch in India still happens to be sometime tomorrow, the availability of the new Nano brings relief to customers who won't have to wait for ages for the products to start hitting the stores.

The 4GB 2-inch Nano is selling for around Rs. 8,000 (based on how well you can bargain, I suppose), and the now upscaled 80GB iPod classic and 160GB available for around Rs. 14,000 and 17,000 respectively. We looked around some more, and couldn't find the 8GB Nano yet, but according to some shop owners, it won't be long before you get them as well!
