Those ridiculous iPhone 3G pricing plans bogging you down? Then perhaps you should try the newly-announced Bharti Airtel Equal Monthly Installment plans.It is said that the EMI plans make purchasing the iPhone 3G simple and convenient. And above all, it makes the iPhone 3G affordable, or course. Or least, that’s what Airtel is saying.

The new EMI plans will be available to all VISA cardholders of ICICI bank, HDFC bank, SBI Cards and Citibank. Bharti Airtel hopes to sell more iPhones with the introduction of these new plans.

They’re the first independent retailer to carry the iPhone and for Apple’s sake hopefully they’ll reach an untapped socioeconomic demo.

The Advertising Standards Authority in the UK isn’t too impressed with one of Apple’s iPhone adverts, specifically the one that claims “all parts of the internet are on the iPhone”, even though the iPhone does not support Flash or Java, which are important parts of the Internet. Apple has argued that the claim referred to the availability of web pages, rather than their specific appearance.

Apple and AT&T have texted iPhone 3G users to upgrade their firmware to 2.0.2. In the text message the software update is regarded as "important." It also provides instruction on how to upgrade the firmware. This is the first time Apple or AT&T have sent out a text message telling users to upgrade their firmware.

Heart breaking stuff this early in the morning. I just received a confirmation from Vodafone that their iPhone 3G will come for no less than Rs 31,000 and Rs 36,100 for th 8GB and 16GB versons respectively. Yup, that’s approximately $700 and $825, which probably will be the most expensive iPhone 3Gs on any carrier in the world. In all probability, the iPhone 3G will be priced the same on Airtel as well. (Update : Airtel has indeed announced the same prices. Click here for details .) Subscribers who had pre-booked the iPhone 3G on Vodafone can pay an advance of Rs 10,000 either today or tomorrow to break the queues. Well, with a price tag like this, we ain’t sure if there will be that long a queue anywhere.
