hahahaha... wooow... very interesting thread here...lol... did i cause all this damage???? :P

okay okay... UltraBlue my friend... i love u and all... but even i think u were a bit toooooo harsh on iStyle :P they are all we have after all :P when it comes to legal and warranty and all... hahahha.... so u have to give them some credit yeees there are so many ways to get Apple products and might be slightly cheeper than istyle... but like i said u have to give them some credit for beeing better than the other Mac resellers out there in the UAE... i know a hand full of stores that would sell Macs and some that Actually get them from the US for a better price than the iStyle, but i still point my friends to the direction of the iStyle cause its the only store i would trust, cause i know that they are heading towards the right path....

nooow... Hani... wooooow... i had a feeling u would pop out of no where when i wrote that msg... hahahahahhaah.... i really do know how to get ur attention, dont i?... where are u all this time bud? :P anywhooooo.... so its nice to see we are being watched by our "Apple Store" lol.... okay i might of been wrong about the credited part... or maybe my info was a bit old... i am glade u guys did get accredited cause thats what we Apple fans want to hear and see... but u got to fill me in with the difference between APPROVED/ACCREDITED AND AUTHORIZED... i know ur Authorized and then u got Approved but what about ACCREDITED AND CERTIFIED??? just wanted to know...

the price thing, i know u guys are working on it... cause trust me i have noticed i do lurk around the istyle store very often and keep track of most of the prices.... so i have to give u credit for that... and i know how hard u guys are working to makeing the store closer and closer to an actual Apple store... and trust me if i didnt know ur the best Apple reseller in the middle east i woudlnt of been buying Apple products from u like constantly every week ur the reference i provide and place where people go to get there Mac gears from when they ask me.. so i always point my friends "which is almost 80% of ur customers in AD" TO UR STORE... u can ask the AD Staff regarding that. there isnt a soul that doesnt go to the istyle store and know my name :P lol.. i have helped u sell more 10 Mac in the past month alone :P and i personally picked up a couple of them my self... with an order of 2 more 3.06Ghz 24" iMacs that i am still waiting for :P hint hint speed up ur shipments so i can go get them...lol

so u could say i am the most loyal iStyle dude out there :P but heeeeeeey everyone knows u cant be perfect, but u r improving dramatically since i first stepped in the store in 2005 :P but the truth is, u could very possibly be left a side in an ally somewhere sometime in the future when Apple Inc. decides its time to have a real Apple Store in Dubai.... sorry Pal... but as much as i love u and has been faithful to ur store for the past 3 years or so... i will cheat on u if the actual Apple store comes down to the middle east.... hahahahahah....

and one more thing dude... ur staff still needs to be a bit more educated in selling macs... they are doing better but sometimes i do have to agree with UltraBlue

I see iStyle as a good way to promote Apple products but it stops there.

Every time I walk into an iStyle the prices are way too high, the sales people are mis-informed or not informed at all, and the general atmosphere greatly pales when compared to say an Apple store in the US. You have one dude surfing the internet, while the second sales person is filing her nails... and both are (in knowledge) dumber than a box of rocks.

I for one will NEVER buy a Mac or actual Apple device from iStyle. a store trying to cash in (big time) on something that is becoming bigger in the world now... Sort of like a bacterium trying to crash Anna Kornakova's immune system. Everyone wants to, and indeed the white abd red blood cells are all there... but the bacterium is just taking it too far.

Yeah, I just compared iStyle to Bacteria, I would have compared it to a faulty Greddy waste-gate but wasnt sure how many people would get that.

Yes, ouch... that was pretty rough, ultrablue. I think many people would agree with you on the points, but perhaps we should take a somewhat less hostile route in this discussion. It's an important discussion, and one that iStyle now is taking some part in here, but let's remember there are people on both sides and people do have feelings.
