Alright! It’s Zain. Their rumored surprise is the launch of the iPhone 3Gs. KD 230 for the 32GB, but the catch is the one-year contract.
I guess the upcoming surprise they are talking about is the launch of the 14.4 internet on the e-Go we talked about + the iPhone !
Update
Apologies. It seems that Zain has fiercely responded to competition, the 21Mbps Internet will be released instead of the reportedly 14.4 Mbps..

Does that mean they will provide technical support for the iPhone, provide all iphone services and stuff? Similar to the BB service package? Or only sell the phone?

I doubt this will be too successful

If we get the 3G for 14.4, not bad at all compared to regular price

MGE- I think they will sell it only!
Aaa- the tsunami hasn’t started yet.
Bashar – the 14.4 is for the e-Go .. I don’t think they will be offering such speeds for mobiles

Good deal! Way cheaper than current iPhone prices … Although I’m not a fan of contract, it is logical since you would need internet anyway :)

As usual you are wrong. Zain will not be releasing the 14MB they will be releasing 21.6. Your source is an idiot.

compared to what the prices are it’s not.. if sold KD230, then this would be the exact price of Hong Kong

230 KD for the 32GB is a very good deal, and as for the 14.4, most of the mobile phones max-out at 7.2, so ya it’s for the e-go. So if you are using the 3G subscription on your phone, you wouldn’t care at the moment.

do you guys have laws against locking the phone?
Saudi Arabia and UAE both have unlocked iPhones (officially)

The Eurocom company gives a 3 month warranty on the phone. That’s better than anyone else I know.

I was surprised you posted that zain was going to launch 14.4 when they had a press conference last month clearly saying they would release 21.6. I was also surprised when you posted that zain was releasing iphone as big surprise when it was actually eurocom.

anonymous- yes you are right, but you see this mistake was unintentional. We got this rumor and we posted about it and when we discovered that it was inaccurate we posted a clarification.
Thanks;)
