Is it worth it to have an iPhone in Doha?
I'd like to buy an iPhone (maybe a used one from a seller since that seems to be my only option).
Is it worth it to have one? I mean, do the features, including GPS, work well here? And is it super-duper expensive to get a plan that works with it?
Any insights, pluses and minuses would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Everyone! (Sorry if this is an oooold topic, too: I'm brand new here although I joined this Qatar Living service a while back to research stuff.)

You can't teach experience...
thanks for the tip!
the phone shop across form carefour would do it?
Do you know if you can use Hala (pay as you go) on the iphone?
I think the iPhone is indeed worth it. You can also find the Qtel settings on my blog.

I've had an iPhone since November 2007 and I love it. I do realise it doesn't have a couple of features but in all honesty these are features I never used, or rarely used, on my other phones. I have just upgraded to an iPhone 3G and I love it. The software on the iPhone is upgraded regularly by plugging into iTunes, so new features are added all the time. It's an amazing phone and one which I wouldn't be without now. It also looks gorgeous.
Loistella - There are a few places which will unblock for you, just ask in certain phone shops. I came across one in City Centre Mall.
I have one - need it unlocked (if anyone knows where to do that).
Wouldn't want another phone - it is the best in my opinion.
this has got nothing to do with Qatar, but just clarifying I-phone is awesome! at least it works fantastic in North America (causing Blackberry to launch a touch screen model too). I maintain all my bank accounts, expense statements, Search around, stream on-line radios, check & type e-mails and what not......
I can say this for sure as I have used Nokia N series before. Technology is to be exploited not just possessed...:)
my iphone its fab.....
With iPhone you get lots of applications and services available. If you are someone who has extra money and wants the new innovation, you should buy an iPhone.
DONT BUY IT! Let them modify a bit. Get something else!
god bless everyone
i also have same question but reading comments on ur question it is very difficult to take decision whether to buy or not.
or go for a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
Qrs 3199
Iphone is one big hype ...
go for Blackberry strom

Its not worth having an iphone at all!
You cant set your own ringtones
Bluetooth File Transfer is only Iphone to iphone or Iphone to MAc
Camera has no flash
MMS Feature is not there
Wait for a month. Vodafone will launch the iPhone, and all your questions will be answered.
For me, I'd never go with a touchscreen only phone. Tactile feedback is really important to me. I don't want to be looking at the phone screen to do basic stuff like answer a call.
Is it worth having an iPhone full stop.
I have a cheapo nokia and it does a great job of making phone calls!
its not a problem you can have it use it with Qtel network
and you can se it for surfing too.
upgrading is also piece of cake so have it.
