Vodafones rival, Airtel is also launching iPhone on 22 August probably at the same price.
This is much higher than what I have expected. Also as these prices are clearly targeting very rich consumer section, these iPhones may come altogether with different plan with higher call rates / GPRS charges.
But I am still hopeful that prices will drop significantly once telecom companies make enough profits from first wave of iPhone customers. So I will surely wait for atleast 2 months before buying iPhone.
If you happen to buy it, please mail me your picture with your iPhone at rahul@devilsworkshop.org. I am planning to create gallery of our proud iPhone owners.
Update: Check Vodafone’s plans for iPhone user at Digital Inspiration

The prices are expected to drop significantly around Diwali, when the I-Phone will be launched without the partnership of Airtel or Vodafone

Are you sure about iPhones launch without any partnership?
