It's kinda boring with only three guys on this thread so from tonight I promise that I'll keep all three of you company when I'm not up to mischief.
What's happening with 3G/HSDPA in Egypt, have they launched yet?

brix...i think we will have 3G here in egypt in march 2007 when the third network launchs its services by that time......
i don't know why...but guys, i can't wait for the third network...currently i am on mobiNil and basically they suck....the network coverage is rubbish ...waiting for u Etisalat
about the Nseries i like, it's N80...it's nice...but it's too expensive for me, so i consider the n71 ...
what do u think?

Well thank you brix
I hope its not because the South Africa thread is too crowded and you ended up having to move north
On 3G, well March 07 is the date for our third company to start its services and it'll will be 3G. The yet to be named company is owned by UAE Etisalat which is the owner of Mobily, KSA's second carrier and first to install HSPDA, hopefully we'll at least get the name which I quite like.
The best thing is that the company is going to have to be extremely agrresive with its pricing and hopefully we'll even get contracts like Europe. One thing we won't have to worry about is expensive 3G
I also hope I'll be able to get a summer job/training with them next year.
I don't see a house at those co-ordinates, well not in the crossshairs, do ou always stand there or is that where you burried your pet frog ?

ROLMAO @ mustafa: I don't know whether you're checking my house up on Google Earth...actually you won't find my house but if you follow the co-ordinates you'll end up in a neighbourhood of Cape Town.
I don't know if you guys ever browse the South African thread but we've got a whole lot of things happening as far as telecommunications go. Hope 3G takes off in Egypt, in South Africa it's been mostly business and high-end users who've made the step up...I'm yet to make my first video call.

As I said a new company is coming with 3G and the old companies will follow later. Basically we'll have a similar situation to 3 in the UK. They'll have to be extremely competitive to get a market share.
So we'll be lucky with 3G. A lot of people are tired of our duopoly overcharging for everything so they'll be happy to switch. Keep a look out for 3G uptake in Egypt making big headlines.

All of us in Egypt have very good expectations from Etisalat. This is justfied if we consider their smashing success in the Saudi market.
The gr8 thing about them is that they're not so keen on getting their ROI that fast, they rather invest strategically. Let's hope they\\re really up to our expectations.

So you're alive
I don't think any mobile company can think of a quick ROI, its almost impossible anyways with what the cost will be.

So the other one is alive too.
ROI I'm pretty much sure that is return on investment.

Hi guys,
New here from Egypt, joined Esato with my new K800i. Having a 3G phone that doesn't support MobiNiL's new EDGE coverage, anyone knows of MobiNiL will implement 3G soon, or shall I switch to the 3rd company?
