iPhone now available in UAE/Saudi Arabia

The iPhone 3G has officially been launched in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Etisalat announced on Sunday (an odd day for an announcement, but there you go).

Etisalat outlets and other selected retailers are now selling Apple’s iconic phone, after it looked doubtful that an accord would be reached. It’s expected to sell in a middling fashion, but we’ll keep an eye on the numbers.
The 8GB version costs up to $720 USD on a one-year contract with a $54 monthly rental fee, and the 16GB costs up to $841 (rental fee applies as well), with the packages on both phones including 125 minutes of national calls a month, 125 texts and 500MB of data. Not a bad deal for that region.
This will hopefully open up the international channels to the iPhone again after a bit of a drought for the worldwide tour of the smartphone.
