After hours of wait for the Apple iPhone 3G, Airtel and Vodafone have decided to release the phone on August 22, a day before my birthday by the way. But what about the 3G part? Most applications on the iPhone work only if there is 3G available. In India, we need more visionary people.

Most probably, Vodafone will have an upper hand due to its global tie-up with Apple. As to the prices, people are still playing the guessing game. On the pre-registering days of the iPhone with Vodafone, it was slated to be of $199 and $299.

But why the hype? Simple, its touch sensitive screen is the best of there is in the cellphone world. Its sleek looks and lots of other features contribute to this.

Now where’s my birthday present?
