Yes, I believe so. In fact, souk.com has some on sale here in the UAE. Price approx AED4000

Lots of the guys around here go to NY on a regular basis so would work out much cheaper to get one there rather than souk

do it... you know you want it!

think of how jealous all your friends will be!

think of how you can take photos and show people on there... then realise you forgot to delete *those* pics

think of browsing BE on there

think of taking that to the gym and displaying it instead of your ipod...

If you want a real phone this is what you want! 3megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, 3G etc. And made from titanium.

Yup. They did all my ground research before I moved to Brussels. Only covers for one year though and you have to pay after that.

It is THE fashion item of the moment but frankly its an over rated hunk of junk. Very pretty though it is

Having played with it extensively I have to say it is not a heap of junk. It has wonderful features (web browsing is superb for example, multi-touch is a neat little invention, ansaphone caller display is awesome too), intuitive interface but the functionality is limited. I'm guessing that version 2 (with flash enabled, bigger camera, photo editor and video capability) is just around the corner, in time for Christmas in the US.

Stop press - they are (illegally) on sale in Deira City Centre. AED 4500.. Don't know which store - it was on the radio....

Shakh, they are going on sale on O2 on 18 month contracts only as far as I know in November. The thing to remember though is that V2 of iPhone is already in progress so it may be worth waiting...
