How much did you end up paying for the mod Ritvik, if you don't mind. I am debating whether it's worth getting a 5.5G iPod and modding it. Might do a DIY mod (ask a friend to do it, to be precise), but my only concern is that what if the hardware fails - here in India does anyone do repairs for cheap? And is it possible to source the parts? In US it's easy but here that's my prime concern.
For now I guess I'm going to stick to my iPhone as I've already spent quite a bit of money recently on picking up a pair of TF10s and a few other phones.
