I dont mean to sound a sceptic, but i doubt it.
Usually SE phones come out in places like Sweden first, a middle eastern airport simply doesnt sound like the place SE would normally release their first batch of handsets.
Hes probably pulling your leg (joking).

Actually Dubai was the first place (or at least one of the first) the P800 was released and I'm talking about a proper consumer sales package not pre-release. So I don't think it's out of the realms of possibility that the P990 will come out there first. Whether it's at airport duty free or one of the phone retailers in the city is of little consequence........

Does it really matter where the phone is first released? the important thing is that it gets released. Dubai or Sweden, doesn't matter.

Well, like i said, its only me being sceptical.
Ive no idea where the P800 was released first, but may i ask (not that i dont believe you, or want to prove you wrong), have you any proof that the P800 was released there ?
So that we can understand the possibility that the P990i might appear there first.. ?

Nothing wrong with a healthy dose of scepticism etaab. The only proof I have is that I bought it there, to my knowledge it wasn't available anywhere else and believe me after many months of waiting for that phone to come out I had looked everywhere. If memory serves it was at least a couple of months if not longer before it was available in the UK. Of course I don't know if this will happen with the P990 but if I were a betting man I think we'll see a repeat performance. I'll be speaking to people in Dubai over the coming weeks and will of course pass on any information.
I noticed Expansys have lowered their price and are now quoting July as the release date. Vodafone also quoted June/July today.
Really looking forward to the release wherever it happens to be but I'd rather we had a stable device, not perfect but stable, than SE rush to get it out a month early........

This is actually true. the p800 was released in four countries in dec.2002 and UAE was one of them; besides i was one of those lucky
b@st@rds to get one before anyone else; being released worldwide(see my first few posts).
Sad to say, its nowhere in UAEs shores, i've friends at official
retail stores here and they themselves have no actual idea when it is to be released. I trust them since they've always been accurate with launch dates since they have seminars regarding new phones a week before its official launch in the country. Got to hold a W810 even before it was distributed here. So im pretty sure that its nowhere near...keep you guys updated
