@rahul - By exclusive i meant on a blog and by the way after that I have apologised to the author of the post, I think your narrow vision missed that. I saw your blog and was pretty impressed and didnt expect a comment like this from a fellow blogger on a blog like WAT. Anyways, I again take back my words that I posted it first.

Information is not exclusive. And I thinking WAT should think again about how they want to use this word. That said, this was advertised on TOI front page yesterday. Unless and untill Vikram has posted this on 24th, I dont think he has any right to claim ‘ I was there first’.
WAT you generally come up with good content, dont spoil it by careless use of ‘exclusive’. It sounds sensational but it has its own demerits.

actually vodafone had a big iPhone 3G ad on Times of India front page so its pretty public news.

As for google indexing, try google blog search next time. They index pretty soon.

Dear Vikram,

I came across the story while I visited Vodafon’e website to review my phone bill. I had done a thorough Google check on the story but couldn’t gather one link that pointed to the news, but speculations. And if you notice the date of publishing of both the articles on WATBlog and your blog, they are the same. It seems Google took it’s own time to crawl through your page.

The pricing has not been revealed. The phones would offcourse be network locked and Vodafone is taking a measurement of the demand.

It is expected that existing customers will get it for over 20k and new connections with some commitment plans might get it for as low as 17k.
