Etisalat Announces iPhone Coming to UAE and Saudi Arabia in February

Magnus Nystedt | Feb 02, 2009 | Comments View Comments

In a full page ad in this morning’s Gulf News, Etisalat announces that they will be brining the iPhone to the UAE at a later day. The ad reads:

The UAE’s Emirates Telecommunications Corporation – Etisalat today announced that they have signed an agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone 3G to the United Arab Emirates and to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through Mobily later this month. More information will be released at a later date.

It seems that the rumors we’ve been hearing lately about a February announcement were correct and that Stuff Middle East will have to change their conclusions. etisalatiphone

اتصالات تعلن عن وصول آيفون للامارات و السعودية خلال شهر فبرير

عبر صفحة كاملة فى جريدة ” جلف نيوز Gulf News” الصادرة صباح اليوم اعلنت اتصالات عن تعاقدهم لاحضار الآيغون لدولة الامارات لاحقاً. نص العنوان كالتالى:
“شركة الامارات للاتصالات, اتصالات، اعلنت عن توقيعها لاتفاقية مع أبل لإحضار هاتف آيفون “ثري جي” الى دولة الامارات العربية المتحدة و المملكة العربية السعودية خلال شركة موبايلي فى وقت لاحق من هذا الشهر. المزيد من المعلومات سوف نتشر لاحقاً.”
هذا و كان موقع شغل جازين قد تحدث عن الشائعات التى قد تردت خلال الفترة الماضية عن قرب إعلان وصول آيفون خلال شهر فبراير و اعتقد ان ” Stuff Middle East” يجب ان يغيروا استنتاجاتهم.
