You think Iphones have no resale value ? Ha ! Try getting an Iphone for less than 15k ! The P1i can be bought for less than 15k, not an Iphone. Of course once the Iphone comes to India, I suppose the resale value will drop, but it will be almost on par with Sony or HTC. Though I would never personally buy an Iphone since my needs are different (I need apps ! lots and lots of apps !) , I still think its an awesome phone for those who don't mind its minor flaws.
