Does Aircel seriously think people will buy Iphone 3gs for 9999?

Its not even worth it now. IOS 5 is so laggy on 3GS.

If its 9999 then thats a pretty good steal IMO.

The deal looks legit to me. And tempting.

Would suggest to get it from the aircel store directly. There were some issues with those who ordered the Funbook tablets from ncarry about refund issues. Also, btw the touch started working on the funbook just like that. now wondering whether to go and do the ASS

Dude everyone is waiting for iPhone 5. So no one go for this at any price.
probably these people want to clear old stock...

You mean to say iPhone 5 can be bought for 10k?

Good phone for moms I guess

Surely people who are eager to own Apple iPhone will like to have their hands on this? I know few of them those who feel proud of owning a iPhone (I'm not one of them, I cannot afford or like it, I'm an Android servant) and AFAIK iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4S looks the same (hardware and most of UI), so not everyone will be able to know the difference just by looking it...

I agree with the first part of your sentence. About the second part, well, the 4/4S have a boxy design which is what separates them from the 3G/3GS versions. Yes, the screen size is the same and so is the aspect ratio, but many people might be able to tell the difference between a 3GS and a 4/4S.

As per the article,why its not a good deal!!

1) No FaceTime: No front camera means no FaceTime, no Skype
2) Super slow processor and less storage space: The iPhone 3GS has a 800Mhz Cortex A8 processor under-clocked to 600Mhz and only 256MB of RAM along with an 8GB Flash Drive storage.
3) It’s not just Rs 9999: Remember the price tag is conditional to you paying for the data charges which are an extra Rs 3,000 for around 2GB worth data per month.

Why the Rs 9,999 iPhone 3GS is not such a great buy | Firstpost
