In case you would like to get hold of a shiny iPhone 3G from UK, the just shop from Apple UK store. There are no contracts with their Pay-as-You-Go iPhone. The iPhone is connected to O2 services from UK. iPhone from UK will cost you 16Gb [KD 150] and 8Gb [KD130] approximately. Add to that shipping charges from your forwarders Aramex / UShopWeShip which I guess would be another KD 5 or so.

Once you purchase your iPhone, it will take another 2 days for shipping within UK and add 4-6 days to Kuwait. So you can now get your shiny iPhone within a weeks time, as long as customs don’t block you.

Or if you are visiting UK, then you can purchase one off the shelf too.

This is much better than paying as much as KD 269 [16Gb] and KD 239[8Gb] from stores in Kuwait.
