Just phoned SE Middle East and they informed me that the latest information from Sweden that the P800 will be released in the UAE in the same time as Europe!! ie. end of this month!! But no information about the price as yet, then that lady requested my phone number to call me wen the handset is released....Thats it.
It seems that Juma Al Majid was just bluffing about it being released @ Jan 2003, however it seems that the demand here in the UAE is high which is clearly explained by the number of calls to SE Middle East, (I was the caller number 134) the lady said, and SE's response just falls inline with the demand, thats what I think. Maybe, maybe not...
Here is their number to make extra sure +97143919800.
Hope what they say is JUST THE TRUTH!! I CAN'T WAIT!!
Cheers

The fact is, that so many people may visit the UAE for Xmas holidays, and SE Middle East hopes more than ever that the P800 will be available to meet the increasing demand (as I said, i was the caller 134 in two days in a row) and to make a very 'memoriable' Xmas present! I believe that the UAE and Lebanon will be the first arabian countries to get the P800. The rest of the other arabian countries (Jordan, Egypt, KSA etc.) will get it @ Jan2003 onwards, coz I knew that the phones reach them late thatn the UAE, coz it is applicable to Nokia as well...
Hope we get a 'serious' Xmas gift!!
Cheers

Well, it seems to be true - I called SE Middle East in Dubai just now and they confirmed that P800 will be released before the end of this year.
I left my email and I was promised to be contaced when it hits the shelves.
So all in all - this year might just end with fireworks after all...
Oh boy...could this really be the end of the biblical wait? Come to think about it...I'm actually going to miss all this tension, discussions, speculations and daily snooping on the internet for any leading clues...
On the other hand - I can't wait to have my P800, finally and see what wonderful apps will be coming out in coming months. It's one hell of a gadget...
mesmerized!

@ pachy
Yes. But our authorized dealer promised a delivery date of 'end of Jan 2003' I think there must be some kind of reality in what SE Middle East says!! Lets hope...
Thanx

Here is a very interesting issue about those scumbags in Juma Al Majid (The Authorized Dealer of SE in the UAE):
Check www.sonyericsson.com/ae, (It is the SE Middle East official website), and you should find that the T300 is now posted there!! But the Juma Al Majid scumbags still insist that the phone is coming end of Jan 2003!!! Along with the P800 and the T100!!
Okay, the P800 and the T100 is not posted yet, but T300 is! So I think the same will go for P800 and the T100 very soon, maybe, maybe not...
Waiting for response!!

Devilish - I wish I could confirm anything else about Juma A.M. other than the fact that they certainly are - scumbags!!
The rest will be history

The state that became modern Kuwait began in the middle of the eighteenth century when members of the Utub clan from what is now Saudi Arabia settled in the area.
Since those long-ago days, many other Arabs have also settled in Kuwait but in general, it is fair to say that the ancestors of most Kuwaitis come of desert stock. At different points in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these traditional sons of the desert adapted themselves to a life revolving around the sea: trade, fishing, pearl diving and boat building.
Life centred on the sea was not easy in those days but probably the harshest life of all was that of the desert bedouin. He roamed the desert in search of water and food for himself, his family and his animals. He generally gravitated to the town in the hotter weather and out into the desert in the winter. His life was based on his camels, his sheep and his goats.
After the discovery of oil in Kuwait, many of these people were invited to settle in government-supplied housing and, in the 1950s and 1960s, chose to do so.
In and around Kuwait, the names which are seen on shops and businesses indicate the origins of the owners. Some belong to the original Utub families and others to the great bedouin tribes of the Arabian desert.
