In India, the iPhone 3G, which launches at midnight Thursday, will be more of a consumer phone.
As India prepares for the launch of Apple's iPhone 3G on Thursday night, analysts and potential users here said the product will more likely be a device for consumers rather than a business phone.

The device is perceived more as a lifestyle product right now, he added.
