correct.
what happened was they were around 200 dinar, and then they all sold out in the country, so they brought new stock and raised the price by 50 pounds to 225. I was like, ah shit!

Amnesia,
Hi Bro, just spoke to Fakhro's manager. P990 is expected sometime in Feb, as soon as a trial phone arrives he'll let me know, after that it'll be 2 to 4 weeks before actual sales units arrive. Anyway, I'll let you know what is going as I've been promised the trial phone for a few days. |

Hey,
Howse it goin fella's?
Amnesia, stereotyping a bit aren't you regarding the Indians? Well, in anycase, its not just the Indian's, its anyone in any shop who will do the same. They just want you to return, so they will do the same!
I live in Dubai, so if anyone needs prices of any devices, let me know and i will be glad to get the deet's on them for you
Oh and the P990 will be released along with the M600 in April.
Cheers! |

APRIL...Thats far away.
Neways...I was wondering if U could find the price & the place for a 2.5 inch 7200rpm 100GB Hitachi laptop Hard Dsic in Dubai... U see my father in law lives there & comes here every 10days...but doesnt know much about these things. But will go ahead & make the purchase if given all the details. And I m desperatly in need of this HD for my laptop (Acer Tm8 4652 with 1GB ram; nvidia 6600 gfx card; etc) which was also purchased there...as neither them, the laptop nor that HD are avalible here in India...really apericiate it...Thnxxx.

I'm not stereotyping, I'm talking about what goes on in MY country and by experience and other's experiences. And it's obvious that their bosses TELL them to do this. It's just a known fact.
it's like Saeedi Jokes or Saudi Jokes, not all Saeedi's or Saudi's act the way they do in a joke, but people just tell them to each other because of what the population are lead to believe.
I've got MANY Indian friends I don't think that they are liars, I'm talking about the ones that work in stores that want to get you back so they give you false dates.
Can you confirm who said it will be released in April?
A friend in Qatar's SE office said March.

hi guys
i am new here ..... so i'll just get into the point quickly
I own the w900i it's a great phone .. but apparently when it comes to videos, it only runs media that has " .3gp" formats.
is there a way or an application that can make it run other formats like ".wma" for example? |

WMA is Windows Media Audio, so that means that the format belongs to Microsoft.
however, you know the program that comes with the W900? On the cd, it should convert it automatically for you. Use that, or if you have I'm sorry i can't help.

Amnesia, try not to be a rascist pig. Stereotyping or not, most of you are rascists in YOUR country, atleast don't bring that rascism into a global domain like internet.
And further you said "it's obvious that their bosses TELL them to do this." Don't forget that their bosses are FROM YOUR country. So it is NOT the fault of the "Indian" guy in the store, it is the fault of YOUR people.
And second, if they gave you a date it is possible that they got that date from the agent who brings in the phones or from the vendor itself and for some reason the dates were changed or couldnt be met. There are so many reasons. So don't go around placing balme on the "Indian" guy behind the counter. Get it? or thebghani thathkalam arabi?
Oh one more thing, every "brown" guy that you see isn't INDIAN, aite?
Whatever your population is lead to believe, I am pretty sure Allah gave you your own brain, didn't he? Use it.
Moreover, internet is a global domain, don't make it your personal backyard. |

@ pharaoh...no need 2 be so harsh on Amnesia...like U complained regarding his post n termed it racist...someone might feel the same regarding yours.
Dont take this in a wrong sense...I myself m a proud Indian & patriotic as well...thats the reason I m still in Bombay with my family & not in Riyad, Doha or Dubai where we ve our own shops n showrooms...I could be driving a Porshe in Dubai but preferred driving a Toyota in Bombay as this is where I belong.
But let me tell U about some Indian working in our (Indian owner)'s shop in the Gulf...we deal in Garments n ve ordered out sale personel 2 measure more than what the customer has asked for as this is what our religion has ordered... but some (Indian sales personal working at our shops) never do it...one such person told me, when confronted that "it is not in his blood 2 give anything more than what the customer is paying for" even though, he is not loosing anything by doing so...oh wait, ofcouse he lost his job...I kicked him out...didnt send him back 2 Bombay...got him a job at an Watch showroom in Sharjah...cause he was truthful.
What I m trying to say is we are not behaving, as a proper guest should in THEIR country & they have a right 2 complain...we would aswell.
Lastly, amnesia did say he didnt say all Indian are like that as he has MANY Indian friends (I m not one of them MANY yet) and all of us dont become bad if someone says few of us are (by his true experience)...we are what we are...Proud Indians...but we could be a lot better, so much so that THEY should feel & write good stuff about us here & everywhere.
Dont see what others can do for us...see what we can do for them & we wont need to ask them.
Sorry about the long post & the mistakes in it...I just had 2...pls dont anybody take it in a wrong sense.
