After the initial release last month at the Electronics Retail Shop Jacky's Electronics for USD $599, ETISALAT & DU have announced them recently as well.

---------------------------------------------------------
ETISALAT is offering it for FREE (branded and locked) if you choose to go with the Plus or Ultra Package (details in the below link)

Kindly note that $1 USD = 3.65 AED

For details of Etisalat's offers, you can visit them on >>> EtisalatUAE

---------------------------------------------------------

DU is offering it for the same price as retail $599 but it is an unbranded and unlocked phone.

If you however choose to buy it from them directly rather than a retail shop, the added benefit is you will get FREE BlackBerry Unlimited Data plan for 6 months! a big saving

Just wanted to pass the word around for those who lived in the United Arab Emirates.

Note: The 9700 has been officially discontinued in the UAE. You can only find it in small anonymous shops for $400 USD brand new.
