At Rs 31,000 it looks a lot pricey. I had thought the price to be between Rs 20,000 - 25,000. It's priced more than a laptop. I guess there would still be lot of apple lovers who would buy iPhone at such a price level. But it might take some time to be a mainstream phone. I remember similar stuff happening with Motorola Razor in India. Moto Razor was launched with a big price tag, it made a style statement. Even being expensive, lot of people bought it. Then over the next months, the price dropped significantly and it became an instant hit.
Lot of guys would be waiting to get the price dropped.
Below is the email, that I recieved from Airtel:
