iPhone on Vodafone India by September?

At least that's what folks supposedly in-the-know are saying. While the US the Europe are waiting eagerly for the 3G iPhone to make its global debut, Indians on Vodafone could have an iPhone 8GB to look forward to later this year. More specifically, the 8GB iPhone is purportedly slated to drop on Vodafone India in September, with the iPhone 16GB launch scheduled for 2009, "based on buyer response."

But, legitimate iPhone hopefuls in India (there are plenty of unlocked iPhones apparently running in India) will have to muster a heft Rs 28,000 entry fee. That would put the Indian iPhone at a $700 USD price point! And that's not even for the 3G iPhone.

An iPhone launch on Vodafone India is a lock for this year (according to rumors), it's just a matter of when the launch will happen.
