I dont wanna talk too much about the the mobile, it gets 8 out of 10. for what all features it has.
As its not yet available in India officially, its in the gray first as always! In Bangalore, u get it in all the markets near by National Market.
And the price, I can give u an average cos it differs from one shop to the next and that is Rs.21, 000 - Rs.25, 000(as on Oct 2007, Bangalore).
If u really wanna buy, u can get the price down a bit, but not too
much. And dont try to do that cos, u get NO BILL NO warranty/guaranty!
unless u know the shop owner!
More over, iphone will be in India officially by Jan 2008. But if u
want the price to get a little bit affordable u got to wait for quite
long.!
Some of the alternative for iphone would be- HTC, N95.
But none can replace iphone for sure.!
