hello msmobiles, I just thought I'll post my comments about the review, since I can read arabic. Honestly, for those of you who don't understand arabic, you didn't miss much information that you couldn't obtain from the pictures, since the reviewer didn't say much else than what was published in the official specs. However, he did say that the number pad was nice (although he could have meant convenient). Also, he mentioned that when the device is connected to an external monitor, the screen goes black and turns into a touch pad (like those on laptops), as you can see in the picture showing the device with a black screen, and the mouse pointer on the tv monitor.

Other than that, the reviewer said that the device should be available in shops in october, the coming month, for 3350 dirhams, which I believe equals to 912 US dollars. (Also, he said that the 6150 will also be in stores in october for 3200 dirhams, which equals 871 US dollars).

All in all, I'm excited to finally see the ultimate range out in the wild Very Happy
If you have any questions about the review, ask me and I'll take another look at it.

Well, the reviewer doesn't mention anything about which version (he only mentions that it has 'three band 3G capabilities'), however I don't think the official specs have changed from what was announced before.

In this article: http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6099.html, it says that the HSDPA is 7.2 Mbit/s

yes, but it was long time ago when only a prototype of this phone was available and now when ready phone is already produced, the situation may have changed...

Hmm, yes I agree that could happen.. although I hope not! I guess until a more in depth review gets out, we'll have to assume that the specifications have stayed the same Confused

It feels good for right hand users, but I think it won't be easy for left hand users to use... Also, since the buttons are long enough it won't disturb while typing or dialing as well...

Please let me know if you need any more info.

Mr. SS... Please let me know if you need any more info in depth...

Wake me up when the flip and tablet ones from the Ultimate range are released.

It's less stylish than my first mobile from 1997(Nokia nk502) and looks like it was designed by a committee that wanted to get home before the trains got busy.

I'd give it an E-.

Well, actually I have a couple questions if you could please answer? How does the build quality feel in your hand? does it feel sturdy or does it feel like it's cheap and will break?
Also, what is the maximum resolution video it can take? 320x240?

thanks in advance, and it's nice to know a fellow Kuwaiti got the first review out Wink
