Just now got this mail from Vodafone, I had pre-registered for the iPhone on the Vodafone site to get some idea on the pricing. The pricing is something that nobody, including me ,would have expected. Pretty bad!!!
Some of the highlight of the offer have been highlighted in bold by me. 10,000 in advance to book the iPhone, what the F**k!!!

wOw!! 36 k !! thats WHACK !! ,considering that the HTC diamond is retailing for around 25 k , and the TOUCH for about 14 K , apple could have killed these two phones with competetive prices but , i guess they are placing the i phone at an ultra ultra high end , m on my way for an HTC Touch ,adios apple.
