[...] for other cheaper routes to Iphone. The second reason may be they are still waiting to know what strategy Vodafone has for its Iphone [...]

what ever the comments may be but regarding the price it was the best and defeneatly youth will be fida for this mobile no doubt there will be a huge sales for this mobile. just take an ex china mobiles came to the markt with all the options with just 4500 but all the people know that its life is max 1 yr but so many people are buying it. so what i think is there will be a tremendous sales for this mobile.

guys i thk u all are not fully aware about apple its marketing strategies and iphone , iphone was already short of stock few months before when they were stopped in production and iphone coming in india is 3g model iphone 2.0 and will be available in 199$ all over the world with no increase in price , for more details you can look at the apple website it has a wwdc 2008 keynote where steve jobs tells everything about iphone and its pricing and all . plz see to it you will be shocked to see that and then u will not have to see anything about iphone elsewhere.

Android / mac osX / Symbian :- you really can’t discriminate between them because all are based on unix and all have software development kits.

One thing that mac osX has is that they have to support only 1 hardware type so its easy for them to make an os which supports only 1 type of hardware. Others have multiple hardware to support which is more or less like what windows is for pc.

The demo video of android shows most of the capabilities which iphone already has… I doubt I’ll be making a discrimination on the basis of just the name of the OS, even though the features are the same. And my current hots is on iPhone. I got it from US – thanks to my bro :) it saved me some 10K .

Electronics has been very costly in india. Right from nano to hi-definition tvs. I got my laptop from US and saved some 20K on it. I really don’t know the logic behind that.

oh sorry the 3.5G version… ya i had Nokia N80 for 1 year and did not use its 3G features…
so what is the use of having that feature .. I’m happy that my current version of I phone does not have 3G because 1) the chip used to be more power consuming than the 2G version, I had to switch of UTMS network in my N80 to get better battery output. and 2) That is totally useless untill you are actually in a 3G network. Its like having a radio without having any channels to listen to..
For me if iphone had 3G capabilities it would have not made any difference.

The current price is GBP 269 that too after the GBP 100 price rebate that apple gave .. check the apple uk store price …. http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore/

About Nokia / Sony adopting android .. i really doubt it especially with Nokia investing in developing a touchscreen version of symbian os 6.

I too own an iphone but never had the moisture problem.. maybe bangalore does not have that problem :)

and finally os should be complemented with a good hardware too.. iphone is the right mix of that. with 620 Mhz processor and 120 MB ram in it I don’t think I made a wrong choice,.. HTC has 201 MHz processor and it is priced at 18K in india.. what a waste…

Prabhu,

Yeah, the Google folks are working hard on Android. Even though Google products carry the “beta” label, it doesn’t mean its not of production quality. Android definitely is not in the production category yet, its only in the alpha stage.

Android seems to be in the right track atleast for now. If it can really free up the application developers from the mobile carriers and devices like its claiming to, then we’ll see a lot of innovative kickass applications for Android soon.

I guess google engineers have to really work hard to convince someone like me from moving away from a apple product. Also remember, none of the google product is of production quality. A number of them part time projects which would continue to remain part time (beta) :)

If India doesn’t have 3.5G etc, why do we have Nokia N95 blah blah blah in the market? For moisture problem, you have to put a Rs 10 screen protector. I am not complaining about the phone as such. But just the price.

And in UK, the current price is GBP 159 which is not bad considering the ridiculous tax that is charged here and UK is always expensive for electronics.

If apple had released the phone for this price during the first month in India, I would have never complained.

Android is the O/S developed by Google and members of Open Handset Alliance. GPhone stands for the devices that would run on this OS. If an iphone decides to run Android which is certainly possible, great it becomes a GPhone ;)

Android the mobile O/S is being pushed to as many devices as possible. We expect all of the major devices currently including Nokia, Sony etc., to support GPhone sooner or later.
