Well, you have certainly proven the world and me just one simple thing. You are a polluted useless junk, floating over the internet. And once at it, do us a favor a go suck a big one.

Cheers.

THE FUCKING IPHONE SUPPORTS FUCKING ARABIC!

Do u ever think that GPS will be even useful in egypt,? WE CANT EVEN CONTROL THE STREETS! TRAFFIC, AND NO ORDER IN THE FREAKIN STREETS. how will a fucking gps tell u where to go.
and second u could make ur own routes and just follow them, cause maps fucking works.

U DONT KNOW ANY SHIT ABOUT IPHONE !!! calling urself a mac genius or whatever, well… UR BULLSHIT!

Do not think that you are the only one who knows GPS, which i am sure that you have no idea about it.

I am from Egypt and i would like to let you know that GPS or GLOBAL POSITION SYSTEM whic i am sure you do not know that abbreviation is working by 24 Sattalites on 6 orbits submiting signals depending on time difference between transmiting and receiving by reciever on signal speed of 3X10 power of 8 Meters/sec.

Receiver should receive at least signal from 3 sattalites to start calculating positions measure time difference and make an interception between these signals to calculate the coordinates of a specific position.

GPS service is abseloutly free service controled by USA, GPS receivers is working on 2 bands the commercial band and military band thats used by USA government and Nato forces.

A highest grade of a GPS is the Differntial GPS wic depends on stations well knows its coordinates and sending corrections to units to avoid the,
The latest is 8 more corrections using differential methods such like internet corrections, inmarsat, Iala , XP, HP corrections.

I can not go more details than that becuase its useless for you.

GPS as some said is not an issue, same regarding the Apple store..etc
I’m with Bassel on this, i owned MS-OS devices for the past 4 years from I-mate to HTC and i always go beyond the “licensed ” software or whatever u want to name it.
a friend of mine who recently bought the IPhone used his GPS successfully & installed more applications then i can think off so i don’t think its a stumbling block

the question however is this, should you buy an I Phone with lack of some normal functions like “message forwarding ” ” copy & paste for text ” ” editing word or excel files ” a Camera with no software or any function whatsoever” ” no video calls over the 3G network or video recording ” ” Bluetooth is useless for any data transfer just work as a headset” ” no support for webpages with java or flash content ”
and last but not least no slot for any memory card ..
regarding the jailbreaking we seldom get a proper service in Egypt for things we buy over here (ask any Xbox owner ) we are screwed either way

that’s the I Phone problem, so I’ll just keep using the HTC for my business purpose & get the I Phone for Internet & entertainment purpose since i already use two mobile phones at the moment
P.S the new HTC HD will kick apple butt but as usual it will be very expensive considering the Iphone is offered cheap ATM from the network carriers *getting mine for 2800 LE *

i could be wrong though :D

I’m planning to buy the iphone, but that’s only because I’m trying to develop some apps/games for the istore.

as for the GPS, any discussion about infrastructure is bull, i travel a lot around Egypt and we use GPS most of the time, and yes authorities know about the “personal” GPS we carry, and have no problem with it, it’s all about bureaucracy, and it’s a shame it was disabled on iphone.

The other issue about istore, i think you could just change the country to UAE for example, to be able to use iTune.

I’m not an Aple fan boy, actually, i don’t own any Apple products so far, but planning to buy a Macbook, and an iphone as an investment.

My advice to any potential buyer, please don’t be a naive, wait for a while, there are few great upcoming devices, like the G1, and the nokia 5800 music xpress,with almost the same feature, like the touchscreen, so save you money, unless you really going to use the iphone available features.
