Everyone is eager to grab the new iPhone in India.Two giant carriers Airtel and Vodafone are ready to get iPhone in Indian Market.Though the launch date and price is not revealed they started their marketing and sales campaign for iPhone.

Vodafone/Airtel subscribers have a great reason to celebrate! Even before the end of 2008, you are very likely to taste Apple’s appealing iPhones without even browsing nearby grey markets or visiting abroad.Vodafone signed a deal with ten countries including India.

Airtel/Vodafone set to offer the Apple iPhone to its subscribers in India before 2008-end. The iPhone was first launched a year ago in the US with AT&T as an exclusive carrier. Its inaugural price was Rs 15,960 for 8GB and Rs 19,960 for 16GB with a two-year service agreement.Recently an iPhone 3G is launched in US for $199(8 GB) and $299(16 GB).

In US, visual voice mail was the first example of a unique collaboration between AT&T and Apple. In India many such new innovations can be expected. The innovation between Apple, Airtel and Vodafone could lead not only to new capabilities in the device but also to the network itself.

The iPhone combines three amazing products a mobile phone, a wide screen iPod and a breakthrough internet device into one small, lightweight, hand-held device with the best e-mail ever on a mobile phone. It allows for full screen web browsing, multi touch screen and applications such as Google maps. The latest software update can now allow you to customize up to 9 home screen pages anyway you like.
