hey,
the cheapest i phone 3G 16GB i found in Qatar is 3,200 QRs.. including the Turbosim to use Q-Tel SIM card..

& the cheapest iPhone 3G 16GB i fount from well knows trustable online seller is $799 = QRs 2,844 .. including the Turbosim also.. & including Shipping charges to Qatar..

i can save 356 QRs ... so, it's not a big deal.. i'll just buy it from here at the end of the month..

until that time i am lookin at the new Samsung i8510 INNOV8 & Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1
maybe i'll change my mind..
