Does anybody know if the Nokia N97 is available at Dubai International Airport duty free.
And if so what is the price and does the keyboard has a US or US/Arabic type layout.

Because I’m in transit I’m only interested in the duty free information and not in other places in UAE places where the N97 might be for sale. :rolleyes:

Why the :rolleyes: ?

That easy, Because many topics start of with a simple question and before you know it the discussion is going about something completely different. Like the weather in Dubai or something like that. :rolleyes:
And I only want to know if the N97 available is and what the price and keyboard type is. It is very simple. :D

Sir, yes, sir!

No extraneous discussion, sir!

Going rate in Dubai generally is about $750, for an N97 with Arabic keyboard. DDF doesn't usually offer significant discounts.

If I remember I'll swing by tomorrow and check.

Despite both the :rolleyes: and the lack of attention to this thread, I checked anyway.

N97 price in DDF is a shade under 3000 Dhs, or just over $800. If buying in dollars its quoted at $828. They have white and black available.

Jacky's is now pricing it at 2820 Dhs, or $766. For anyone able to exit Dubai airport, it'd be cheaper to do so, get a cab to a nearby mall, buy the phone there and cab it back...

I didn't have chance to get them to open it up, I'm afraid.

That said, the Arabic keyboards don't tend to differ much. Still have the usual Latin alphabet, with added squiggles ;)
