where's here?

It's dropped to 3,100QR now and that's in 10 days!

I freaking lost 1,100QR in 10 days. That's what I get for being in a hurry.

Anyway, here's the trend in a few countries

Bahrain

Launch: 4,800 QR

1 week: 3,600 QR

2 weeks: 3,300 QR

----


Qatar

Launch: 4,200 QR

1 week: 3,500 QR

2 weeks: 3,100 QR

----


Emirates

Launch: 4,700 QR

1 week: 3,400 QR

2 weeks: 3,200 QR

KSA,

while in a branded store its 3000
and normal shops, you should be able to get it by 2800.

3,100 at Axiom Saudi???
Wow...

My friend is actually a manager at Axiom Doha and also got me the info from Dubai.

Why is there such a HUGE difference with Saudi??

Well donno. Personally i am so surprised, because Its always ultra expensive here, when things are launched, for example, iphone 3g was priced for 6500 bucks a couple of weeks back!

price update


Bahrain, 2,900

Qatar, 2,800

Emirates 2,500

wtf is this?!

the n95-8gb is STILL 2300.

The iPhone in bahrain is 6,000

iPhones in Qatar are all customs. Pink iphones, ones with Qatar flags etc...
they're between 4,500-6,000 depending on the custom.

(Until the launch the iPhone here officially soon)

hm......the price drop of n96's might just make me get it, instead of an x1i. Hey could you let me know the price of x1i thru your friend, and when will it be releasing?
Thanks.

I must admit I'm a little jealous of you folks with your shiny N96s. =|

I think it's so much better looking than the N95 and way cooler!

Congrats on the purchases guys and thanks for the pics.

yeah amnesia, i too got problems. After doin a lil search i got to know the both the first firmware and its update are buggy. I m sort of, totally dissapointed in it. Here's one link referring to the change log in the new update.
http://www.a site.com/[....]ware_update_v11_change_log.htm


And seriously, its slower than n95 8gb, and its volume is lower(but quality was better).
Did you try brothers in arms in it? Mine had a lag fest.
