While the 3G iPhone is making all the waves world over, one of India's largest mobile service provider, Bharti Airtel, and Apple have inked an agreement to offer the iPhone in India. The announcement comes hot on the heels of Apple's agreement with Vodafone to sell the first-gen iPhone in India, signifying that Apple has changed gears and is no longer sticking to a single carrier to provide its best-selling device. Unofficially, the iPhone has already made it to the Indian shores imported in its unlocked state. The phone will also be sold in Singapore by SingTel, StarHub, and MobileOne carriers. At this pace, it might take another year or two for the 3G iPhone to make an appearance in these countries. So, better late then never, eh?

Apple's iPhone is supposed to be launched in India somewhere in September 2008. This isn't breaking news but since I have been covering different countries today and their cell phone endeavors, I thought it's worth mentioning.
Vodafone is the carrier who will bring the iPhone to its Indian admirers. It appears it will be more expensive to get an iPhone in India. The 8GB version will retail for 28,000 to 30,000 INR (that's up to $740) with a plan I would assume. That's a lot of money to be asked for an 8GB iPhone, particularly now when the world is waiting for the 3G iPhones in June. On the other hand, it should be expected for other countries to sell such phones like the iPhone for much more than they are worth in the USA right now.
