Hyderabadi gadget freaks are going ga ga over the sleek Apple iPhone that has already taken the US market by storm. Though this phone is currently available only in the US, local youngsters are hell bent on owning this revolutionary product as soon as possible and by all means.
The handset alone costs $499 or approximately Rs 20,459 for 4GB and $599 or approximately Rs 24,559 for 8GB. But for those of you who don't know, this phone is sold with a twoyear contract in the US, which proves to be quite expensive in the long run because you have to shell out a minimum of $1975 or approximately Rs 80,975 for its services in the US! Asghar Ali Khan, an engineering student presently owns an Apple Mac Notebook but will be the proud recipient of the iPhone in 10 to 15 days. "I ordered the Apple iPhone two months back, and my dad's friend at AT&T stores in the US is getting it for me.
The only disadvantage is that Edge (enhanced version of GPRS) is pre-installed in the iPhone, so it's expensive and it works only with Hutch in India. It has unique features like multi touch screen, gravitational sensor and finger touch sensor, which is a new interface. The most amazing part about this phone is that softwares like Final cut pro can run on it."
Apple authorised dealer in Hyderabad, Asad Ansari, commercial officer, Access to Future, says, "All the features in Apple iPhones will work in India for sure. In fact, Apple is planning to set up an exclusive outlet in Hyderabad after twoand-a-half months."
However, this has not deterred youngsters from going bonkers over this new gizmo. "iPhones are definitely a hot buy. It's more of a status symbol and is definitely more stylish than the other phones that are available in the market. At present, I am waiting for it to be tested and launched in India", says Sirish Allu, Tollywood director Kalyan Reddy, a second year student of Bhavan's college is totally bowled over by this new gizmo. "I have asked my cousin in the US to buy the iphone for me and bring it along when he comes here in January. It has all the features that one could ever wish for. Also, it is compatible and has a scroll locking system."
Rohit Dubey, a second year engineering student in Vasavi College asked his family residing in the US to buy this phone for him when they come down to India in December. "This gad gadget is still not available here or I would have bought it right away. It has unique features and has various applications that are useful for entertainment. I love clicking snaps and the automatic setting that this phone has is appealing."
If you plan to buy your iphone from the Us, remember to activate your instrument with the social security number when you are buying there and then rest assured that it'll work anywhere in India!
