It is forbidden in Saudi Arabia? Why?
I have read a news article regarding Nokia 7650 the other day, it said that some government authorities from Mainland China think that 7650 is a spy device for it has a hidden camera. According to Mainland China's law, ordinary people can't possess a spying device like hidden camera.
Well, personally, they are over-reacted. 7650---> Spy device?

It isforbidden in Saudi Arabia because you just might take photos of women without their knoledge,they have very strict laws about such things there.

Yeah exactly, you all have seen the "can you post pics with your 7650" thread
Thats why it's banned here in saudi arabia.
But nevertheless, in my class (21 students) 4 of us have a 7650! (not to mention alotta other people in the whole school!)

Yes, the laws in the Saudi are very strict. The are also paranoid, misinterpreted, disrespectful to any human rights as we know them and just plain idiotic. But that's off-topic.
Women in Saudi, expat or local must be covered in public, head to toe, like it or not. So it's safe to assume that a photo of a woman, with or without her consent would be a photo of something resembling a black tent, wouldn't it?
So I take that photo home and...do what with it, precisely? Use it in my next bathroom ping-pong session?
I opt for Mary Poppins - far more arousing.

Was'nt your location in Abu Dhabi? where'd that go? :-?
Anyways, nothing will happen if we talk about goverments laws, they aren't changing them because some people are talking about them in a Symbian form for all as i'm concerned!
The goverment does it's laws just like the way it sees it appropriate, I ain't no goverment person! BUT I do completly agree that banning the 7650 is'nt the smartest decision around. But oh well, no harm done! I still have a 7650! (wich is what concernes me!)

As for me, if the phone comes out 1 week before christmas, i will definetely wait till christmas eve whereby there will be a promotion, so i do not mind waiting for another week...
But if its gonna release after christmas, i will then get it straight on the day's morning when it is launched...
I am afraid it will cost a bomb for me  .. haha.. but from dealer, they say it will have a competitive launch price with 7650. But from other thread in this forum says it may cost $800USD which is about $1350SGD here in SG.

Hope it is true....just a bit more expensive than 7650 is acceptable
