A new breed of mobile phones will come out of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the end of January,the Islamic Saudi Mobile Phone.
"The first ‘Made in Saudi Arabia’ mobile phone is manufactured by KSA-based Saudi Television Manufacturing Company (STMC). The technology that was developed to be able to manufacture the phones has reportedly cost as much as $9 million.
“The product is made without collaboration with any foreign manufacturer,” said Ghazi Saleh Al-Shalhoub, chairman of STMC as quoted in Arab News.
The new phone supposedly has a high memory capacity, has the ability to save incoming and outgoing numbers and record calls lasting more than fifteen minutes. The phone is also equipped with a battery that is supposed to last twelve hours of use.
Qibla direction and prayer times in over 5,000 cities worldwide are also provided within the phone, which will be available in a variety of languages including Arabic, English, French, Urdu, Persian and Bahasa Indonesia.The new phones will be very similer to the Ilkome islamic mobile.
