I don't think the iPhone wave will hit India as powerfully as it invaded the US. Indian carriers unlike their US counterparts probably won't bend over backwards to accomodate the iPhone. There are many who already have an iPhone here in India, (I decided against getting one, eve though there are half a dozen users in my office alone) and they are quite happy using it over wifi.
