Good news for all the smartphones and iPhone lovers in India. Airtel, the telecommunication giant of India, is going to launch Apple iPhone in india on 22 of this month i.e. 22nd august 2008.
The new iphone 3g was launched a few month back in US and other countries and it was announced at that time its going to hit indian markets soon. Now the wait is going to over later this month.
How much it will cost to indian customers has not been declared yet but it will be interesting to see as iphone cost 199$ dollars in US market and most of the smart phones available in india are around or well above that mark. If it launches at that price how will the other companies survive?
As airtel is launching this phone the phone will be locked to used with airtel sim card and the customer who wish to have an iphone will have to move to airtel service. That will be a problem for few. Lets hope one day we will have unlocked iphone with other services too.
