iPhone 3GS in india.

Hey folks,
Nobody knows when the iPhone 3GS will be released in India. Even though the dates are announced there are no talks about the iPhone 3GS. The price fixed by the service providers also needs to be reduced relative to the price fixed by the apple. Apple should kick start the process of selling iPhones atleast in its own stores in India.

Available today from Reliance Timeout Ambience Mall Gurgaon (off the shelf, imported from HK, I saw the box). Officially unlocked, 36K, but service will have to be in HK - Airtel, Voda will not service in India, so I didn't get it. According to Reliance, official launch by Diwali.

Well buying it in the grey market seems to be the only option for us anyways. By the time they release 3GS in India, they will be releasing a newer version of it in the US Market again. Least we expected was some kind of announcement as to when it would be released in India, if it is still in their plans. We would have wanted to buy it in the legal market, but may be just that Apple itself is pushing us towards the grey market now.

go to ebay.com.au n just search for iphone 3gs. here is what i learned.

be warned most of the iphones, at least the reasonable priced ones, are on the auction option not the buy it now. so you might lose a few auctions before winning one.

there is a **** of a fight if in the last minute of bidding so be ready n quick. there is no point in bidding before, 90% you are gonna be outbid. only start bidding when there is 1 minute left in the auction.

many of them don't ship worldwide. pm and ask them. some might not have mentioned it, but they will ship if you ask. be sure to do that before you bid.

also be sure you have a verified paypal account before you bid. most of them dont accept any other payment method.

im currently paying around INR 1k more for the iphone than i wanted to, all cuz of bidding. but **** i wanted it. 1k is no problem

if you choose ebay, then best of luck. it is not as hard as it sounds. you just need patience.

@subhalaji the iPhone 3GS is available in a lot of places in Singapore.. recently i saw it in the Mustafa Mart too..also saw it at the Harbour Front, but its ridiculously costly there ( same as India, around 41K INR )..its also available in Malaysia, in a lot of Marts.. Infact you can check ebay for unlocked versions but its not worth to spend a fortune.

I have already submited 5000 Rs as advance payment for IPhone, around 2 MONTH BACK, In one of the Main Aritel outlet in Noida.

And I am also keep in touch with the relevent person. They said that there is a Training conducted by Aritel regarding IPhone. But still they are not sure about the release data.
I have called Aritel customer care also but they said we dont have any information about the same.

Only Answer they have "Sir, Max 10 Days More".........
