Today Vodafone announced that Apple’s iPhone is now available in their stores, Mobinil did the same announcement with same following prices:

the 8GB iPhone, 3,800EGP

16GB Black and White iPhone, 4,450EGP

The two companies has removed the GPS feature from the phone, which is for me not a major thing, but what really confuses me is that the original price from Apple in USA will reach 1100 in EGP ($200), with all features included and with unlocking the phone it will work normally here, so why did Vodafone and Mobinil made it this way? It really makes me angry how such companies  I thought it will reach 2000EGP or something, but not a 1:4 relation. I dunnu if I will buy it this way but mostly I won’t.

One really spreading thing is how every company is trying to show her offers in Ramadan, Etisalat, Vodafone, Mobinil, Pepsi, Cocacola, Chervrolet (and the amazing “I AVEO” Commercial). Really how much money have been paid for ALLLLLLLLLL these ideas?! I have to tell, that the marketeer are really amazing and VERY creative, because it’s a very HIGH challenge they are facing in front of each others.

Etisalat chose an idea which has been performed in an EXCELLENT way, bgd chapeau!. Vodafone came with an offer and performed it well, when I first so the Police Station commercial, I was amazed, masha2 Allah. Mobinil and the whole new network which is something old btw, got an excellent performers and a great idea to deliver the whole thing. Cocacola and Pepsi chose a performer to present a product, although I think pepsi has got the idea from the performer himself :), so it has the lead here (with Cocacola I mean).

I started to search around, I found some of these commercials on YouTube, so I thought of gathering all together, check them - I couldn’t find the AVEO Commercial, although it’s great -:
