On the Bharti Airtel network, the device is going to cost between $730 and $830 dollars, depending on the device you buy. Furthermore, the device is locked to Bharti’s special network. So for a family of three (mom, dad and a kid), the 3G iPhones will cost around the same as Tata Nano, the $2,300 people’s car that launched earlier this year.
The high cost isn’t stopping people from wanting the device. About 200,000 phones have been pre-ordered
I did a quick price check which confirms a Sony Vaio laptop (approximately $2800-$3000) will financially set you back more than a Tata Nano. Plane tickets between India and the US for a family of 2 or more, easily surpass a Tata Nano’s cost.
What other consumer products can you think of in India that cost more than a Tata Nano car?
