Ok, So as me and even my cousin were interested in iPod touch, we were hunting for best possible deals in our spare time over last 2 weeks.

Both of us were not desperate to buy it and hence over last 2 weeks, me and my cousin visited shops from alfa to indraprasth to anupam. And got these deals.

I dont know if its available at this price or lower in other cities or somewhere else in Mumbai, but we managed to get sub 15k deals on this from 2 shops.

1 from indraprasth 1st floor near stairs ( forgot the name of the shop ). And 2nd from a Raghuleela mall kandivali ( forgot name of this shop as well, the shop on ground floor next to Nokia dealer shop ).

8GB Touch Brand new: 12750

8GB Touch 2nd Hand, good scratchless front, minor microscratch on back : Rs. 9750

16GB Touch 2nd hand ( I couldnt tell if this one was new or old but he said its 2nd hand :P ) :Rs.12500. The only thing missing was original earbuds from this and he was bundling cheapo earbuds.

16GB Touch New : Rs.15250.

Now I was really surprised by the cost of 16GB model. I was under impression this would cost something like 18k+ even in grey market looking at $360+ prices on various online shops in US.

Anyone in Mumbai able to find better pricing?

If not, i will mostly pull shotgun this weekend.

I am tempted more because of the things like Dynolicious and on the move video watching :P

Cant live with iPhone.
 
Whatever else you do, please please hold on till Sept 10th :P Apple is going to refresh the line up. Now as usual, no one knows what exactly, but price drops are ALWAYS a possibility. So I would suggest to EVERYONE to hold on till Apple lets us know what they have for everyone ;)

Yes, I would wait for the announcement as well. They are going to announce a refresh this week. You've waited this long, another week or two wont hurt.

(You can then get the new revision or the old revision at lesser price. :hap2:)

Yes you can install most of the apps that work on the iPhone. For jailbreaking you need a program called WinPwn which will flash your firmware and will add a installer, from where you can download programs over wi-fi

Also i got my iPod Touch 16GB for around 16.5k from indiaplaza around 2 months ago so you can check if they have it at a lower price now.
 
Hey gys dis are all grey market rates but wht abt da warranty as u wnt be gettin a bill so will u be able to claim da warranty ??????????

i had read smwhere tht apple has global warrnty n it is based on da serial no is dis true ????

n r there ne other thngs u shld look into while buying a touch like manufacturing deffects etc etc

i had read smwhere tht the initial batch of touch had some screen issues.
 
^Yo, you be b**chin' man. Dis iz true, word. no odder defekts brovva, itz all gud.

Damn.. it took a lot of effort to write like that..

Bumping a very old thread as I dint want to start a new thread for this. Where can I get the cheapest Ipod touch 2nd Generation 8GB in Mumbai? There's one listed at 12.5k on ebay. Is that a good price?
 
Contact S'mart on eBay.in. A lot of people on TE purchased their 8GB iPods from them for 10k after using a 10% discount code.

Is this the 2nd gen itouch or the 1st gen ?
 
just bought a 32gb 2nd gen yesterday for a friend for 20k. btw, a lineup refresh is expected a week from now. if not any major hardware changes, the minimum update expected is the OS 3.0. people with current ipod touches will need to spend $10 for that upgrade.
