But this is already popular, I have seen people using iPhones in Chennai before it was released, but may be it was not the 3G version.

Airtel must be having a stock of Iphones bought from Apple .. Now if Airtel end up selling no Iphones because unlocked is available at less price .. I doubt Apple will actually lose money ... Istallment is always a way of attracting customer .. who know Vodaphone may tie up with some bank to provide 6 months interest free installments :-D .. possibility .. however unlikely though I wonder .. if Iphone is unlocked .. means it must have been bought from US market .. or some or the other way ..where apple has already got money from the service provider ..

X1 use 3,5mm audio connector. The normal size is 2,5mm. I read that this product has special connector which even walkman series does not use it. X1 use 3,5mm audio connector.

What I feel is Airtel does not want to promote a product,where they get into loss, when someone gets an iPhone unlocked, I think Apple will lose money and not Airtel. @Kanak,

But Airtel didnt want to do that it seems. :) Installment idea might work very well in India, I guess. But Airtel didnt want to do that it seems. :)

Just that Airtel didnt want to take chance, they know in India people will somehow get it unlocked by buying it cheap from airtel .. :-) hence airtel loosing out money ... However .. vodaphone is planning to give Iphone on installment plan ... Seems a good option :-D @nirmal

And I feel its true that they are right in their decision in India. Thats true Nirmal, I too read it in some article that Airtel has mentioned it.

Airtel has already mentioned that they dont want to subsidize the handset and then get the rest of money from calls and data transfers like in US. They also mentioned that Apple is not ready to lower its margin on iPhone and more over Airtel and Vodafone are also here to make some money, not Apple alone. @Kanak,

I dont want to pay that much for just a easy user interface. hmmm... May be we can go for Techno-rich devices instead. :) @Nirmal,
