GSM mobile network operator Aircel, a 74:26 JV between Maxis Berhad of Malaysia and the Apollo Hospitals Group, launched the much-awaited iPhone 4 from the Apple’s stable in Hyderabad today.
Speaking to mediapersons after the launch at Technovision multi-branded mobile store here, Hamir Bakshi, regional business head (south), Aircel, said the company’s tie-up with Apple offered an important combination of Aircel’s 3G network and iPhone 4’s video calling features.
The 16GB Apple iPhone 4 will retail for Rs 34,500, and the 32GB version for Rs 40,900. It has two cameras – on the front which focuses on the user, and one on the back, which focuses on everything else.
Bakshi said 3G services could give PCOs a facelift with its owners offering features like video calling at cheap rates. “Video calling at PCOs offers a real value preposition. We, however, are not looking at it (PCOs) right now but are expecting the entrepreneurs to take a cue from our 3G networks and go for it,” he added.
