    Hey Sahil :)
    As you said there are 100's of features of iPhone 4 and really after seeing its features , I think HTC must be coming up with some more competitive features. The price of iPhone is also not so much for 16gb-199$ and 32gb-299$.

    But in INDIA it is going to double or triple the above amount , but also we will buy ;) lol :P
