We’ve just reported about iPhone 4 launch in UAE, now here is the details about the iPhone 4 in Saudi Arabia via Mobily and Qatar via Vodafone. Vodafone has posted the iPhone 4 price with a new discount to the original price. ie now a black iPhone 16gb will cost you QR 2850 instead of QR 3145. Careful though, QR 3145 is the normal price of the whole package and not the handset, ie phone plus QR 220 Flexi 220 on Freedom, QR 50 Mobile Internet on Freedom with 300MB traffic and a QR 25 Welcome Pack with the Micro SIM. The 32gb package is QR 3359 instead of QR 3654, same QR 295 off. Vodafone says stock is limited and pre-registration is already closed, so dont take your time.
Mobily went live on Saturday. Prepaid is SR 2699 for the 16gb and SR 3099 for the 32gb, with 250MB a month for six months. On Postpaid 99 the 16gb drops to SR 2155 and the 32gb to SR 2550 on a 12 month contract, with 200MB a month. Go up to Postpaid 399 and the 32gb is SR 250, with 2GB, 500 added minutes and 300 SMS a month.
Worth the wait ?? One guy at Mobily Tahliah in Jeddah was told he could get it Monday, but most comments we read are people walking out with the phone, Jeddah and Riyadh both. Stay tuned.
