Hi
One of my friend has got himself an Apple i-phone 2-gb :mad:

It was bought in USA by his brother ,he bought it from Apple store there

it cost him Rs18,000/- . The phone is unlocked by him personally ;)

First i thought to take some photos but as it sounds cheap ( to some )

so i restricted myself i.e Y i will not be able to post the photos. :(

the i-phone was with me for abt 15-20 min .

The screen is to0 good man nd i liked some of the features But

2 or 3 of the feature do not work in India .

Also the speaker Quality is not as good as Sony-Ericsson (i felt)

nd battery backup is not very good as my friend said it last for 1.5 days max.

In the end it a good phone to carry if u have at least Rs18,000/- :D

Regards

saurabh kakkar

Edited: in palce of most -> 2 or 3 fearures dont work in india actually his edge is not yet activates so theso fratures r not working as of now
error regretted :(

It's a fake or something. There's no iPhone with a storage capacity of two gigabytes. It only comes in one version and that is capable of eight gigabytes of storage.

iPhone sucks.
For that price he could have got a better phone!

But the looks of iPhone is unmatchable!

The new Zune's surely creating a lot of waves these days.....too bad no one markets Electronic Products like the Zune or iPod in the TV Media in India :(

As for the sound quality of iPhone, it easily beats any cellphone out there, iPhone's Music quality is way louder and clearer than SE's or Nokia's N Series.

And here are a couple of pics of my iPhone :

Edit : @saurabh : EDGE works perfectly on the iPhone. (the NOP plan in Mumbai doesnt work tho, you need MO Plan only)

23,500 Rs, Locked one from Heera Panna ! I myself unlocked like millions others, nothing that hard. Those HP Guys take 2000rs just for Unlocking the iPhone :|

^^ Then you should create a thread in Tutorial and explain how you can unlock in iPhone. Somebody might find it useful.

Even i'm using an iphone since a while , actually i'm using an HTC Touch and an iphone and in terms of browsing , music , looks , interface - iphone rules ... the Touch is great no doubt but the low power 201Mhz processor takes it below in my rating . Considering other phones in that category .. iphone is great and comes out on top .

I guess most of the people who actually own the device do like it, like every other Apple product.

Another unexperienced guy :| Have you ever tried typing with the iPhone ? You'll never get back to those stupid OSK that O2 Phones have or even normal CellPhone keypad for that matter.

Hi! I've heard a lot of complaints about iphone's quality. 2 of my friends who bought it aren't satisfied. So what else did you expect from this Apple's experiment?

Quality so far for me is good !
