I had been looking for a replacement for my gud old N95. Was eagerly waiting for iPhone 4.
But from what I’ve gathered from my friends it seems that Apple may not have gud service in India. No doubt its rocking in the states but what abt the after sales services here in India??
And it is gonna be unlocked right or r we gonna be tied to the AT&T 2 year contract in India too ??
surely you have misgathered. Apple has some great service in India. they don’t indulge in debates with you. If you say the device has a problem they will take ur word for it and check it up thoroughly. if faulty either it will be repaired or replaced. applies for macs, ipods and iphones
only hiccup is apple’s service network is not as widespread as other companies like say nokia. So you won’t find an apple store in every tier2 or tier3 cities.
as for the unlock, it totally depends on what deal our indian carriers strike with apple this year. we can hope for an unlocked phone as UK customers are getting carrier-free unlocked phones

nice looks of the phone….but do u think that it would be really compatible….coz of the problems coming out of apple iphone in open…..
Only fools will buy phone worth 45000 or 50ooo……at the end of the day it would be used for making and recieving calls..
Considering the antennaegate problems surrounding the iPhone 4, people should skip this one and go for some other phone or wait for the next gen.
or get a bumper case?
@radha krishna
the title of the post is slightly misleading. while the specs have been listed perfectly(good job) the date and price both you clearly don’t know. moreover, no supporting data or links listed. you might want to throw in the term ‘rumour’ somewhere into that post.
in us the rate of iphone 4 is $199 for 16gb &$299 32gb ,@47/- per doller now
$199 IS =9353/ – $ 299IS = 14953/-
why in india is 35000/- for 16 gb &32gb 41000/- is to mach rate in india , we can not bay iphone 4
