However even if you compare the at&t and airtel price, the latter is probably cheaper. Here how it is: There is a myth in the market place on low pricing of the product (reference price point being Rs. 8000 or Rs.12000/- which refers to AT&T pricing of USD 199 or USD 299). The reports don’t factor the commitment which a customers needs to give for a particular Price Plan for a period of 24 Months in the case of AT&T. For O2 the commitment is for 18 months with selected plans. A brief comparison shows the Total Cost of Ownership being very high in such cases : Comparison between AT&T,O2 and Airtel The total cost of ownership for the period of 24 months for a 8 GB model is around Rs.81000/-! The total cost of ownership for O2 is around Rs.200000/- over a period of 18 months So In India its still cheaper. Plus I think Airtel is offering 500mbps of free data downloads which is quite a bit. BTW, I have bought the phone and it kicks assssssssss.. People…there is a reason why the phone is priced so high keeping in mind high duties the govt charges.
