Unlocked iPhone Selling in Mumbai's Gray Market

The Mumbai gray market seems to be brimming with the latest offerings in the market. You can get the iPhone (unlocked and running) for a whopping Rs. 52,000. Hopefully, seeing as only this morning some sleepless soul managed to make a hardware-free hacking method to unlock the phone, enthusiasts won't have to wait for a day at Heera Panna for the unlocking to happen.

The 4GB 2-inch Nano is selling for around Rs. 8,000 (based on how well you can bargain, I suppose), and the now upscaled 80GB iPod classic and 160GB available for around Rs. 14,000 and 17,000 respectively. We looked around some more, and couldn't find the 8GB Nano yet, but according to some shop owners, it won't be long before you get them as well!

Its not even worth Rs 5,000. Unless all you want is to drool at the UI & not do any work.

For a Phone of Rs 52k, we need something better then N95. n95 is 500% better then iPhone cos iPhone just has a good UI but hardly any features to make use of that UI.

Soon u ll start getting unlocked 8gb iphones for around 20k..
just wait for some time..

I'll be buying a genuine iPhone regardless.

LOL! I hope you were joking because as good as Vishal's UI designs are, I am sure he himself will admit that they do not even hold a candle to Apple's. And design is not just about the looks (like gx_saurav, iMav and almost everyone here seems to think); it is about how well the thing works as a whole, how easy to use it is, how intuitive the controls are... etc.

52K for an iPhone, and that too without any warranty or any other means to get support, is completely insane. I doubt anyone would want to buy that, specially when the iPod touch is coming soon and we'll all get to lay our fingers on the shiny new Multi-touch user interface.

Damn I have to change my T-shirt now...got drool all over it....
