Waiting for the Apple iPhone 4 in Dubai, UAE

As we eagerly await the new Apple iPhone 4 in Dubai and UAE, we can't but anticipate how the cool phone will look and function. If anyone hears about the iPhone availability in the UAE, please post a comment in this blog including the price. We promise to post it as soon as we hear anything, so check back later!

The new iPhone 4 boasts a faster processor, larger memory and is yet thinner in size than the iPhone 3G. It looks a bit different from the earlier iPhone 3G and 3Gs. This one is more boxed - rectangular, losing a bit of the rounded edges.

Apple highlights it as -

• Multitasking done the right way
• Face Time - phone calls like you have never seen before
• Retina display - the highest resolution screen ever on a phone
• HD Video recording - Shoot, edit, share - All in HD

So guys join in and unleash your knowledge and curiosity.

My first opinion of the HTC Touch HD (high definition) was that it is an iPhone clone. With a big display like the iPhone I thought it was one of the many followers. But it was good to finally have a serious look at the Touch HD. Like top of the line HTC devices, the Touch HD boasts of decent processor and memory. It has fast 3G and the latest WM 6.1, the bigger screen is a welcome relief from tiny screens from earlier HTC models. The XDA II and the XDA Universal (imate Jasjar) had good screen sizes but that was like a decade ago! A cool 5 megapixel camera is like a icing on the cake.
