Apple, which became a most sought after brand after the sweetest launch of iPhone is planning to release a new version of iPhone 3G called the iPhone 3G Speed or iPhone 3G S.
Appearance wise, iPhone 3G S looks the same as an iPhone 3G but all the difference is in it’s added features.
This new touch phone boasts about:
- A mobile compass for giving directions
- Faster performance that is 3.6 times faster than 2G phones and 2 times faster than iPhone 3G
- Faster loading of web pages
- Ability to connect your iPhone 3G S to a personal computer(PC)/laptop and enjoy 3G browsing in bigger resolution.
- Better 3D graphics experience and gaming
- Ability to call a number on uttering a name or a number
iPhone 3G S will be available in the American markets from 19th June and in other countries including India from August.
The iPhone 3G S is priced in U.S at $199 for a 16GB model and $299 for a 32GB model. These rates are applicable only with 3G connection of AT&T.
If you intend to be independent in choosing the 3G network, you need to go for an unlocked iPhone 3G S which would cost around $ 350.
In India, the cost of iPhone 3G S is ruling above Rs 35,000( 16GB or 32 GB) even if you search in metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad or Bangalore. You can also find cheaper online deals on new and used iPhone 3G S on ebay India and other online shopping sites. You can get your hands on this cool touch phone for less price if you have someone you know in U.S.. That person can buy the phone with AT&T contract, get it unlocked and bring it to India to put it in your hands. In this work around, you can get iPhone 3G S for as low as Rs 11000( 16GB) or 16000(32 GB).
Hi,
Thank you so much for the information. I am actually planning to buy the iPhone 3G S.
I just have a query – How can iPhone 3G prices drop down to Rs. 4,700? I have searched at many places in Mumbai…and the iPhone costs around Rs. 31,000.
I am very confused about this…please help me!
Dont take joke as a serious comment dude….
it's really so cheap to have a set like it.only $99 ???
Keep in mind… cheap price is along with two years commitment of service provider. Atleast in US you need to have 2 yr contract with AT&T
@Parth Dave,
Sorry for the blunder, it's said that iPhone cuts would not be implemented in India anytime soon.
@Shakir,
A similar undertaking by our mobile network providers may help bring the heavy price down.
So, what do you think, will be the approximate cost of the iPhone 3G S in India?

@Parth Dave,
Not sure dude.It may cost the same as iPhone 3G in India i.e., at 31,000.
The undertaking by AT&T in U.S was responsible for the price cuts of previous phones(this is the case in U.S and other countries only).
If our bigshots like Airtel,Vodafone take any step as AT&T, we may the Apple phones at a cheaper price.
Hey Rohit,
Thanks for the information…
hey i wanted to knw 1 thing …. can the i phone of at&t at price of 199$ be bought in us and used here ??? ie with our SIMs ??? as in ccan it be unlocked in any mode or something ???
do reply asap …
That's a smart idea….yup! you can do that too.
But remember, you need to get the phone unlocked. Unlocking makes the phone ready to use anywhere,any network.
Unlocking an iPhone is charged a fair price like some 20-30$.
Hope that answered your query!!.
that answers quite a bit …. bt still a doubt ….. is that i phone unlocking done in US itself ?? or here ??? and is that unlocking facility easily available ???
The unlocking stuff can be done anywhere. There are good technicians here in India too…
Yeah!.Right with the popularity of iPhone grew the popularity of unlocking.Unlocking is widely done…
Hope that answers….sorry for the late reply,by the way…I was down with high fever.
