The iPhone 3G is available directly without a contract. The price before the 3G S announcement was in $600 range. It happens to be exactly the same thing. If you buy it here in India, or you buy it from US, it's approximately the same price.

And IMO, it is not worth the hassle for a new phone (unless you are getting a good /used/ phone deal at half the price).

In case you are referring to the iPhone 3G & the 3GS in the above statement, then you are wrong. The 3GS features updated hardaware (in addition to sw tweaks, afaik)

This is not true. Once you buy the phone, either from AT&T store or Apple store, you get to keep it.

If you cancel the contract within a month and get away without paying ETF, you HAVE to return the phone if you bought from AT&T. People buying phones from Apple have been luckier in this case.

I Have PMed KMD with a request to work out some nice deal, lets see what he has to say.
btw, I think in INDIA Vodafone & Airtel would be reducing prices soon as new version 3GS would be available here as well

Unless KMD has a SSN in the US I dont see how he can get iphones for us from there.
 
I have someone coming from US next month, so i asked. She said its not available for so easily even in the US. you have to enter into contacts & all related legal hassles come along with it.

Anyone got any contacts from where i can source a unlocked one?

I'm not comparing iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S. I'm comparing the ~ cost of iPhone 3G here, and in US.

There are two options:
a) Buy contract free iPhone 3G from Apple/AT&T store.
b) eBay.

Cost: same. $600ish.

@Gurpartap Singh

Honestly, I am not willing to pay more than 15-17k for iPhone. as anything over it is not worth it. so which means I would try to get it around $300USD max. else my nokia 6030 rocks for me:P
