iPhone 3GS
The New Offer by Aircel, iPhone 3GS at Rs.9,999 is a Tempting Offer, but as you would expect there are some catches. The first of them is that you have to pay Rs.3,000 as an advance to get Unlimited 3G and 2G for 1 year (High Speed 2GB per Month). But that is all right you are paying for your services. Also the Earphones separately cost Rs.1,700 and the USB cable and the Charger Adapter together cost around Rs.2,000. So if you factor in other things, the iPhone itself costs only Rs.6,300. So it is a Great Deal and also you are not locked in with Aircel. Now coming to the iPhone itself.

Ergonomics
The iPhone feels sturdy in the hand. It fits perfectly into the palm and I feel that it is just the right thickness, not too thin nor too fat. Here are the dimensions:
Height: 115.5 mm (4.5 inches)
Width: 62.1 mm (2.4 inches)
Depth: 12.3mm (0.48 inches)
Weight: 135 grams (4.8 ounces)
There is only one button on the main face which is the Home Button. At the left side there is the volume rocker and a ring/silent switch and at the top is the on/off button.
Conclusion
I Feel that the iPhone 3GS is a Good Buy at the price. Buy it while the stocks last. The Apple Premium for ten thousand rupees is a must buy. So, buy it while Stocks last.
