apple phones are sold on a contract basis & you must be thinking that if anything goes wrong, you can send it to europe or usa or aus for replacement if it is still under warranty. well, looks good but just explain me certain things .......
1) once iphone is unlocked & jail broken, even if you restore it, they come to know.
2) if iphone goes kaput while you think its still in warranty, how are you going to restore it before claiming for replacement ?
3) there are strict laws in europe, usa & aus, apple are suing its customers for doing so, do you think you are being protected in any circumstances ?
Unlocking & Jail-Breaking is a crime under DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act)
4) according to sources, i have heard that there are some legal issues between apple & vodafone / Airtel, hence 3GS launch is unlikely in India, maybe late, maybe never, who knows ?
5) even if apple launches in INDIA officially, how are you liable to get your iphone into their warranty status, without showing any proper documents, even if you produce false documents, they come to know by the serial number.
point me if i missed out on anything ????
