Tim Cook, Apple COO has confirmed that there is no shortage of Apple’s new 3G iPhone and the company is all set to carry its second round of launches in 20 countries on August 22nd 2008. India is one of these 22 countries as iPhone will be coming to India in August and will be launched by Vodafone followed by AirTel. Both, AirTel and Vodafone have opened up pre-registrations for the new 3G iPhone and their plans have also been made official by many newspapers in India. When I called up Vodafone’s call center they just confirmed that the iPhone is coming sometime in August but they didn’t throw any light on the pricing and plans the company is planning to implement, same is the case with AirTel, so till there is more insider information on this we have to wait.iPhone 3G plans -

Hey Viky, I am not too sure about what kind of period Vodafone is aiming at but if it is in multiple of 2 years, I am sure they will face problems... :-)
