Finally, I-Phone In UAE After 2 Years...Crazy!

As the song "The Long and winding road"...I-Phone will finally hit the United Arab Emirates after 2 fucking years of waiting!

And ETISALAT got the deal! Whew!

And oh for goodness sake, Apple just announced that the new iPhone generation will be launched by June 2009 and I hope we get it over with.
A few careless words by the iPhone program director for United Arab Emirates telco Etisalat may point to an all-new iPhone handset being released in the 2nd quarter. Or not?

Speaking with Dow Jones about Etisalat’s plans to roll out the iPhone 3G, Mark Davis said that the, “next version of the device, which is due out in June, will be launched in the UAE at the same time.”

iPhone Nano rumours have been flying around like seagulls at the world breadcrumb dropping championships since just before this years MacWorld, with numerous ‘leaks’ and difficult to verify 3rd-party mentions popping up and being denied or ignored by Apple.

In some ways this latest one is not too much of a surprise - Apple’s marketing chief Phil Schiller has recently spoken of a yearly cycle for new iPhone models, ending around June. Still, it is nice to get another piece of the puzzle in place.

I can still remember my first unlocked I-Phone bought last May of 2007. The feeling of having it first in Dubai was paramount. Everyone was asking, is that the "Apple" no! it's T.H.E I-Phone!
