And that's the only good news .. they cost a lot of money ... GPS banned in Egypt .. no Arabic support ... no Egypt iTunes App Store until now ... funny activation instructions ...

Bummer.
Many people were expecting that Arabic would have been resolved by the time it hits Egypt.

I don't see how you are going to be able to install apps on the iPhone 3G in Egypt... without an Egypt iTunes store. Unless they are planning to bring one out shortly. Agree it's a pretty crippled release. There are shops selling unlocked iphone 3Gs here in Egypt, I just don't know how they are doing it. iPhones can be legally bought unlocked in places like Belgium and Hong Kong, so they could be from there, I'm not sure.

I don't understand why anyone would buy a locked iphone, I mean they have them tied down to those limited features. Here is the same old story with AT&T, and the only way around that is to ship phones from the factory without AT&T being involved.
