Etisalat Announces iPhone 3GS Prices!

[Empgamer]

For me at least Etisalat's plans will have to at least match Du in respect of there being:

1) No 12 month contract
2) Reasonable data/ call / sms allowance for the monthly fee.

I think Du is OK. The Etislat 'deal' of 250 MB free for 6 months on PAYG which they had for the 3G simply isn't good enough compared to the Du rates, by a VERY long way!!! If Etisalat don't announce today I will also likely go Du with the 2 phones I need to benefit from the early booking 500 AED free credit.

I know, guess they didn't tell me the truth...

Come on Magnus, give them a hard time. Work your sources. Maybe a lil somethin somethin under the table? What can possibly be the hold-up in announcing the packages. They can't be still be at the drawing board trying to figure 'em out with the launch less than 24 hrs away??

Bizarre really. Less than 24 hours to launch and no details of packages. I hope it's not deliberate (e.g. they know their data packages are not going to be as good as Du but want to hold off telling anyone in case more people go for the Du pre-order deal).

I was told on Saturday that the plans would be announced Sunday and the delay was because TRA had to approve them. Since then I've been trying to contact whoever I know in Etisalat and no one is saying anything. I'll try a few people tomorrow again but I'm guessing we'll know plans tomorrow if they're keeping to what they said about launching tomorrow.

LOL at etisalat still not deciding a data package. And the 3gs page says "get it today" while the image still says "coming soon". epic fail.

Just went to the Etisalat store in the DIFC. They said that the phone will only go on sale tomorrow (Oct 28), despite it being actually launched today. What a pathetic state of affairs!

alright i did it. against all better judgement when one should not to do business with a company that is disorganized and has no idea idea on what they're selling themselves, i still went ahead and bought the 3GS from etisalat. No data package. No idea when they will have one. No idea if this iphone will still be eligible to receive one when they announce one. One thing is there, it is a factory unlocked phone with no contract. If i wasn't married to my 050 code, i would have switched to du in a sec. there's time enough for that. for now, gonna subscribe to a normal data package and start playing with my new shiny toy.
