I am rather pleased to report that Apple's iPhone launch in India was a dismal failure. I was aghast in August this year when Apple (and its cohorts Vodaphone & Airtel) decided to swindle Indian customer by charging over 400% premium over US store price. At that time I advised people to wait till the price drops. Frankly I felt betrayed by Steve Jobs because he promised $199 price globally in his keynote.
Collect calls and calls to 1-800 numbers should be free, right? Unfortunately in India, there isn't a simple way to call a 1-800 number in USA or make a simple collect call for free. However there is a way and it is free.
