I got my iphone 16GB from ebay, 2600 QAR including shipping charges.  I got the device after 2 weeks. works like a charm!

 

they overpriced the iphone here selling 3500 for 16GB and 3000 for 8GB. They are now selling at one cellphone store at City Center. But most of the time, they don't have stock.

 

If you know someone from the states or will go there, ask to buy a locked one and have it unlock here. it only cost $300-400 in US.

I bought 16G for 3000QR in one of the QL classified ads. Its working fine. The seller was an American working for Qatar Airways as pilot. He use to buy from Apple everytime he goes on a US trip. I think you can still find the ads here.

@ amnesia - we bought 2 iphones (8gb) for QR 5,200/- last week. I guess there are individuals selling at a lower rate.

Iphone sucksmonkeysballs. Its just a cool toy.

No video, poor camera, no 3g, no headphone jack, constant issues with updates, no tv out, cant update your calendar, touch screen constantly smudged, cant operate it with one hand or in your pocket, no mp3 ringtones, no gps,

it goes on and on and on

N95 does all these things.

You could always buy one from my store, (however I'm sold out, but a shipment of around 500 should arrive soon).

But if you are in a rush, there was this music store in The Mall near Chilis and they had one for 2,700 I think.

@trader, I'd like to know where this 2,600 MAX price comes from.

Anyway, the average price is 3,000, you can find some stores sell the 8GB version for as low as 2,700.

The 4GBs are cheaper though.

@althi, I find that the iPhone coupled with my N95 is perfect.

Alone though it suffers from no 3G, no autofocus, no video recording, no mms, and no sms forwarding.

I am sending this reply from my iPhone. It so much fun using it. I paid 200 riyals for unlocking and it is working fine. I got it from US for $400 only. It is available in Doha for QR 2,600/- unlocked (max).
