I know. But what can they do? The phone's price is infact $699 USD + Tax which translates to around INR 35K + Tax (Vat and what not!). But if you think about it, it is at par with the N-Series and the new HTC Devices. Plus, they are giving you an option to pay monthly.
I got my 3G S for $199 CAD which is around 8500 INR but I'll be paying the $45 CAD + 13% Tax (2000 INR) for the next 3 years. Hence, I also end up paying 40000 for the phone.
The price of the phone won't go down from what it was for the 3G.
