Hi All.
I’m currently stationed in the Middle East and would like to purchase a Samsung S Duo mobile phone.
My problem is - do I get it in Dubai or get it in the UK? The reason I ask this is because my old phone (Nokia N8) ended up being rather a pain as I could not download certain apps from the UK because the phone was “area locked” for the Middle East. I ended up having to pay a chunk of cash to have it reformatted so the “base programme” was for the UK.
I have never had an Android phone before and need a dual sim phone. I know there are better and faster out there but the Samsung S Duo is what I need. I also want to be able to download apps that are for UK companies etc. What I don’t want is to purchase the phone in Dubai and then find I’ve wasted my money when I get home and can’t download certain apps apart those that are available in Arabic and are specific for the Middle East.
Is this phone, or for that matter, any Android phone area specific? I’m sure it’s a simple question but I really don’t know the answer.
Many thanks in advance. : thanks :
Regards.
