Its Bsnl so i think price would be *little* cheaper than others.not to forget 3G service would come on BSNL first, so bsnl has a advantage here.
i have Vodafone and have to wait for long time for 3g.
But i plan to hijack my mom's BSNL connection just for 3G:lol:
no idea what rates would be like:S

Wov, what a analogy. Mind shedding more light as to how they will offer "had to bring the iphone as they will offer 3G" experience. What introduction will they make, that they simply had to introduce an iPhone.

And what advantage are we talking about here? Video call ??
or Faster App Store downloads?? That must be the deal clinching 3G advantage i guess.
Is it just me or is there a general reluctance to spend over 20-25k on cellphones? The last time I spent over 20k was when N73 launched and since then I promised myself I am not spending over 15-20k unless something exceptional turns up. With that perspective 31-36k sounds ridiculous and unrealistic to me not just for iPhone but for any phone.
I really don't see iPhone doing anything special in India untill the 8GB is available for 20k or less. They can probably get away with 25k for the 16GB but the 8GB model has to be 18-20k max.
Since there is some sort of 'cartel' operating its unlikely BSNL will be able to price it less than Airtel/Vodaphone. The problem is Apple HQ is probably not too focussed on markets like India and the local marketing folks are probably too full of themselves, overestimate the Apple brand value, playing safe as usual or all three. Let's hope Android is more reasonably priced but something tells me I am going to be disappointed.

What has Introduction of 3G to do with the iPhone? There are numerous handsets available in India that have better 3G capabilities than iPhone.
I dont think that BSNL brining iPhone has anything to do with it introducing 3G capabilities.

my dad also had got the n73 when it was just launched for 26k. i remember the very next week there was a price drop and few weeks later nokia also introduced the n73me. i also feel now its nonsensical to buy a phone above 20-25k no matter what it has.
bsnl will be launching iphone 3g after some time if they do at all, by then which there may be a (slight) price drop by other operators. but i really dont think their price will be much different than vodafone/airtel.
