I did transfom iPod touch to iPhone on 12/16/2011 and so far I'm finding it very interesting and robust.
Cost comparison
If you want a Apple iPhone 4g you might be paying more than Rs 30000. With this transformation the iPhone is ready with less than Rs 15000....
1) iPod 8 GB: Rs 6000 -Rs -8000
2) Raiso Peel T4 : Rx 4500($ 90) approx from Ownta.com.
So guys anyone wants to try some technical stuff as above... welcome to join the club...
