It may not have the features which many other phones have but it also has many features which other phones dont have, like multi touch screen, high quality large screen display, latest gen ipod, great user interface, god speed and 3rd party app support. I could crack it myself on my own pc using ziphone and I have used it on idea, vodafone and spice networks without any hassel. I have not tried other networks and didnt bother to cos I am sure that it is network provider free now. Its not a bad deal if u get it from US and crack and use it here. Also if you want to sell it, people are ready to grab it for 15K plus. To summarize it all " Iphone rocks in its own way !" So I feel its not correct on the reviewers part to call iphone users in India crazy. I am a techie myself and I am happy with my iphone! Well, I got one from the US even before its launch in India.

U.S sales have stopped giving out contracts of the 4gb model totally by now and are marketing only the 8gb one.

The iPhones which are being brought in India by what-so-ever means work absolutely fine initially. You will find the contacts, GPRS, music, etc everything working absolutely fine across all networks in Delhi (as for my knowledge); The only problem is and is definitely going to arise is that the first time you face a problem in the phone or it generally slows down or hangs and all - ideally you would connect it to your PC and go to the Apple website to download the latest firmware. THIS is where money becomes dust and the iPhone will become an 'iBrick'. Conclusion: You can use the phone as of now but eventually you WILL have to update or upgrade the software sometime. Once connected to the Internet, Apple's server will note that you are sitting in India with an unauthorised piece and wallah! you behold a shiny brick in your hand.

Most of the stuff shown on Gadget guru is for the elite class junta which sometimes might think again before getting themselves such piece of technical jewellery... so to say. It doesn't exactly make you a techy, it only makes you stand out of the crowd and that only for a short while. Moral: All that glitters may not be Gold.
