IPhone 3G

BlueMini's picture

Do any one know where can I get the New IPhone 3G in Doha!!
Apple website says the 3G will be out with Vodafone. Any ideas when is Vodafone starting here??

One more question did anyone tried to buy from the person that posted his email on QL, I emailed him and he sayed he'll send me the IPhone with Fedex and I can transfer the money through Western Union.
It's 790 + 190 QR delivery but for sure I won't transfer any money before I get the phone.

Thanx

I'd rather wait for the official release of the Apple iPhone 3G in Doha, Qatar. For one, I don't purchase any Apple product in a black market. Oh, I just love Apple! ;)

/-a-t-/smoke, not 'for sure' :P when I was in the UK I was doing QLers favours by letting them transfer to me and I'd bring them iphones.
YOu just need to be careful.

I bought it in Hong Kong last month when it came out, brand new, still in box. I bought one for me (which I use) and another for a friend who has had trouble coming up with the money, so I m selling it for what I paid, which is QR 4100. Let me know if you want it, we can meet up at a coffee-shop if you like. jdylan-at-yahoo.com.

askme said Oh so expensive ...

As far as I know iPhone cost 8GB is only US$199/- this is price from Apple itself, look at Apple promotion for iPhone on YouTube or Apple site. I don't understand that these phone are sold so high price in some countries and Apple keep on watching.

 

saadi703's picture

saadi703 said Black Market ...

They are sold in black so thats why they are so costly. It is not officially lunched here so it can not be priced at $199.

Apple is stupid thats why they are watching it. Why the hell this phone is only available with plan. They could have sold much more sets had they been selling this without plan. Also it should be launched everywhere to increase sales.

Bad marketing by apple.

jdylan said Apple is Stupid? ...

Right. And how much money do you have in YOUR bank account? Apple has about $7 Billion cash reserves and is worth more than Google. If they are stupid, with all that cash, what are you? It is called marketing, genius. If you want one bad enough you can get one on eBay.

And also, it isn't "QR4400 for a cellphone". ead the tech specs. It is basically a mini computer that has many more options that you would believe. Best money I ever spent.

 

jdylan's picture

jdylan said Is everybody around here a moron? ...

It's called research: The price of $199 includes a "2-year contract" with AT&T and monthly payments that are pretty high. AT&T is simply subsidizing the phone. If you cancel the plan, you will be charged the full price of the phone. I bought mine unlocked and it can be used with any carrier in the world, hense the high price. Have you check the prices of similiar phones at Al Jabra bookstore? They are pretty close to the same. The Touch Diamond is about $800, Jack. And it SUCKS.

dandy0510 said rcd ...

if you cant contact him, try to search in google on how to order a sim solution like gewey sim.

if you cannot find one, just wait for 1 or 2 months and maybe the software unlock will be release.

dont worry unlock will come. just be patient. :P

dandy0510 said janeyjay ...

maybe some or many of you wonder why iphone is always on the top 10 e.g. yahoo or google or etc.. it is not because of the touch screen, its because of the features that you cannot have on an ordinary cellphone. actually iphone is not a cellphone, its a little Mac computer and an Ipod. :P

well, those people who say iphone sucks is because they don't..ummm... actually they don't know how to use it..

i know one user here in Qatarliving who said, "iphone sucks, iphone bluetooth is no good, iphone is difficult to use.." but now, he is one of my regular customer who upgrade his iphone and get apps from me for free. (he is my boss actually.. lolz.) :P

I say iPhone sucks after using it for 3 months.
I mean, I receive mine in the post (back in the UK), I'm excited, I tell my friend.. Dude, turn your bluetooth on on the PC, lemme send you the picture I just took..
But I can't.. WHAAA ?? You cannot use BT for file transfers!
Still think I (and the rest of the people who care to look beyond market hype) am in ignorance? Bring it onnnn!

saadi703's picture

saadi703 said Marketing Genius? ...

How on earth having a 7 Billion Dollar in bank account is equal to a good marketing?

I own one Iphone already but still I would say Apple is stupid in their marketing. They are expensive for no reason. Iphone actually has much less features then most mobile phones. Take for example the bluetooth. There was no 3G before even in today's world. What about people who bought previous generation of Iphone with no 3G. They are stuck as they spent $800 ~ $900 on the first generation and now they have to spend this amount again?

This is not marketing or getting smart. This is just ripping of the money from wallet of people. I know Iphone is the smartest phone on earth but it still lacks so much. If you like toys like Iphone then you can buy one but if you want features then look else where.

3G is same as classic iphone. so why should they not buy it dude?

incubot, to lessen the problem, just restore your iphone to 2.1. in our website you download Custom Firmware 2.1.

Don't worry, its Free.
Just register to chat you can ask them anything about iphone and Mac.

keshav59, HTC Diamond is a Windows Mobile Smartphone made by HTC. It uses Touch Flo and is quite nice, I got one myself- but sorry to say it is not up to the Iphone std.
Maybe an Android telephone would be my next phone ?
Hopefully HTC will release their Android phone soon, recent info is that Samsung and LG will wait until next summer before they release their first Android phones.
To you guy's and gals that will be asking what Android is: Android is a Free operating system developed by Google. You have probably heard about the google phone, Adroid is it.

 

keshav59's picture

keshav59 said Hi Vignale ...

Thanks a lot for briefing or educating me about HTC Diamond. In fact, I have entered into this forum topic with an intention to buy IPhone for my son who is a medico in India and requested me to arrange one for him. I appreciate your help / assistance in this regard.
