India wont happen till S0nia leaves. Lets examine India success under PVN Rao, under NDA, and now collapsed under UPA.
1990s: PVN Rao did gr8. But MMS- technocrat: stopped our social sector & education: led 2 uproars.
But, Indians energies got expressed, eg, Infosys & honest businessmen. Also 1000s of SMEs, manufacturers, boomed. It was NOT MMS! he gave 100 CR to RajivFoundation!
India's boom, therefore, was selfMADE, not FDI. India didNOT use FDI: not like China.
Now S0niazIndia gets foreignDrugsTerroristicBlack monies, playing havoc with us. All-knowing MMS cleverly plays quiet.
2000s: 2nd boom under Vajpayee: India truly flowered (except farm sector: debts andSuicides. Vajpayee made RiverInterLinking project, to fix this).
But S0nia trashed the project: so farmer debts andSuicides escalated by lakhs.
S0nia created NREGA: massive L00ts here; not one SINGLE ASSET!
NREGA cash fills C0NGpockets, by socking you and me, via multiple taxes, high fuel-food-electricity-water-gas.
We donot need FDI, as huge capital hoarded up by S0niazMen, RIGHT-WINGers.
Clean businessmen scared of S0nia: Rush to Gujarat, MP, South.
Income tax officers openly speak of nests of, like, 30-50 crore! GovtOfficersL00ters want share: so businesses shut down.
MMS has noHonesty norWill, to correct India. But good in CRUEL decisions like FDI: slave to West.

It depends on your priority. If your priority is gadgets, you certainly have the salary to buy this, if you are from one of those IT companies mentioned. If your priority is something else, like saving to buy a car or a house right now, you will find these phones expensive.

Yes. S3 wins over iPhone in just size. Its bigger in width. (Ofcource that is biggest drawback). I had S3 for couple of weeks and had to return that because of horrible UI, now planning to get iPhone 5 this friday..One thing is for sure..once you start using iPhone, you can never live any other phones. I had all models of iPhones..now I am going to get iPhone 5. People like samsung or sony or other phones because they NEVER USED IPHONE. PERIOD.
how can u compare iphone to other phones? its such a small phone compared to all others!! all the comparisons on weight ad=nd thickness are invalid because its a small phone..
all those who are think lte is great should know that there r many cheap phone available in market from all handset makers which have lte.. if u dont believe then open the metropcs website and see urself... anyway its not worth buying this phone for so much money as nothing is unique in this..

Even some of galaxy S2 models had LTE. And not only LTE, Apple is late with panorama shooting also. And samsung's connector pin has been small from years. ABout Airplay, google had launched wireless printing years back. Apple hasn't given a damn new thing with this product.
well, just another iteration. apple cannot do magic with the same hardware everyone has. heck, they don't have half the features others have - their cameras are good, but not as good as nokia's. no NFC or interesting solutions like Sony's NFC tags. slightly larger screen - but smaller than competition - no alternatives or a second model that gives users choice if they want a slightly larger iphone.
so... its strictly what apple wants to sell. not what users want (except apple fans)

apple thinks about customer satisfaction more than any mobile phone maker in the world. there is only one iphone. how do you think it can cater to the needs of the entire population of the world. other companies make different phones for different needs. you are talking as if samsung only makes huge phones. even in the top end smart phone section samsung has a top, topper, topper still and top most models.. and the user is the one who suffers when the OS becomes laggy, non functional.. frequent crashes.. apple carefully chooses what technology goes into their products. NFC is still in its early stages in terms of mobile phone payments. apple leads and the competion follows. look at the macbook air design, iphone design many laptop makers are ditching DVD drives.. i am not saying they invented it.. but once they incorporate something its like the whole world realizes thats the way to go about it. android is best experienced in googles nexus phones. perhaps apple was right in doing both hardware and software. if you think the new iphone 5's 4 inch screen is inadequate you can always choose an android phone.. you yelling in a site like this isnt goona reach apple. and even if it did you do not represent the entire worlds population to make an impact.

Had apple cared about cusotmer satisfaction they wud hv added the queue it up feature in itunes years back when people started cmplaining abt it. And there can be given innumerable such examples which disprove you.
After so much of fanfare they have come out with a product which offers you nothing new and is a catch up with Android devices. For that prices not worth it.Expect it at Rs 45-55K.

You have most probably woke upto the announcement of an amazing product by any measure, but then checked the availability and price in India and was a disappointed man. That is the only reason for Apple bashing in this product. Tell me one feature of this product that is not superior to any other phone..
Re: Re: Iphone 5 is a disappointment

^ price of newly launched iphones in India hv always been around 45 K. So it's not that price for indian market is announced, it's our guess that since iphone 4s is approx 40K now, phone 5 would be somewhr b/w 45 to 55K. Now with it's features which are available in S3 for 35K this phone is gonna get a NO from most of Indian customers who want value for their money.
Xperia Ion was launched long back. A better comparison would have been with Xperia V which was unveiled last month-end and would be Sony's H2 2012 flagship phone.
