iPhone 3G has already hit many countries across the world. The iPhone 3G 8GB in US is priced at $199 and 16GB version at $299. That’s a sweet deal isn’t it? But looks like it won’t be the same in every country. We can take India as the best example. Well, iPhone hasn’t arrived in India yet. But the estimated price is way too much. It’s whopping Rs31000! ($740) for the 8GB edition and the thing that shocked me even more was that the price was exclusive of rental plans. The 16GB version will cost between Rs36,000 – Rs37,000 ($850).In a statement, Bharti said that millions of Airtel subscribers will be able to purchase the iPhone at Airtel’s Relationship Centres from August 22. Oh boy! Give me a break. The pricing is utter nonsense. I wonder why would people even buy at that rate when it’s available for less than $200 in grey market.
