is taking an aggressive approach to the launch and they want to be the 1st to launch in . So, if Aritel is launching on 22nd of August, will be available at stores on 21st of Aug.

The company also wants to claim the cheapest in the country. So, iPhones coming out of will be cheaper than its competitors, namely Airtel. Price for non- users will be around 35k’s and for existing users who have preregistered with , it will cost them around Rs.24k.

The bottom line is and I quote "No matter what we will be cheaper than our competitors."

Initially will come only with 2G service and not 3G. 3G services on will start from October onwards. 2G services will include GPS and Maps for 8 Indian cities including metro cities. Hyderabad is one of the 8 cities on GPS maps.

will start calling the users who pre-registered for two days before the launch to discuss the details in terms of price and its features and once the user confirms the purchase, will be delivered at the day of launch. So, Ideally we should start receiving calls from tomorrow onwards. i.e 19th of August.

In addition to this information, sent a mass e-mail to its registered users confirming the 22nd Aug as the launching date in .
