Iphone 3g launched in U.A.E by etisalat

On 21st feb etisalat launched iphone 3g with expensive and confusing data plan it came after a very long time and almost all the Apple fans who has already purchased unlocked iphones in dubai (as they cannot resist).

the plan has no unlimited usage unlike blackberry.<-- that's not good Iphone 3g 8bg for 2646 dhs Iphone 3g 16gb for 3090 dhs

Check out the Data plans Provided by etisalat

Saudi received a very nice response about 25000 iphone 3g subscribers in few hours of launch I think this is due to saudi started booking online well before the launch date and etisalat over here rushed everything up, I think etisalat won't get that kind of response because everyone knows that dubai was flooded with unlocked iphones since a week later after it launched in (iphone 2g) in U.S.
There is a dealer i know who is selling unlocked iphones and he nearly sold 5200 pieces in dubai and a guy who used to unlock Iphone 2g has unlocked nearly 1500-1700 iphones till date and even before the etisalat's launch every small shops in malls and souq started selling iphones and now the shops who used to sell iphone 3g in low price as compared to etisalat even they have increased their prices but many apps installed.
this is really funny
