You can't officially get Apple's latest iPhone, the 3GS, in the UAE until August, but if you can't quell your patience, some local retailers are offering the device at a steep premium.
Working on a
tip from a previous Beep Beep blog post and a
Emirates Mac message board thread, it turns out that
Dubai retailer Tarsam Trading offers the 16 GB version of the iPhone 3GS for a whopping Dh5,500 and the 32GB version for an equally eye-popping Dh6,600. Both phone models are said to be "factory unlocked", and come with the store's one-year warrenty as well as an iPod speaker set.
Some thoughts on this lofty price tag after the jump.
