Wow this video shows the next planned stages of The Avenues Mall. The Grand Avenue and Grand Oasis are simulated as open to Sky areas. New hotel and entertainment areas, with Soku [new shopping parade], and a traditional souk, and Gold Souk are also highlighted. Keeping fingers crossed.
Thanks TripleM

Electrozan is offering Nexus One at premium price of KD 229 which is KD 57 over one ordered and delivered to your door in Kuwait from US at KD172. Incase you are planning to buy one MAKE SURE it is not rooted to install Arabic Fonts because that will void warranty on your Nexus One.

This is it…finally Nexus One arrived today [picked up actually], after 13 days in transit, which included 5-6 days in Kuwait customs, this baby is in my hands now. First 5 mins of usage, Nexus One rocks!!! This post is quicky one, will post detailed one later..so here is whats in the box:

Seems some retailers are getting cloned phones from China and passing it off as originals in Kuwait. I saw one example in InfoConnect where one of the shops was openly advertising iPhone 3GS for KD 45 [ofcourse a fake one]. What planet do you think we come from…?! The entire mobile market was offloading iPhones [...]

A major update to the Android OS of Nexus One has enabled multi-touch support. Other updates are to the firmware. BTW many of you in Kuwait have stated that you still cant order Google Phone as Google is blocking the site. Thats strange as somehow I can get through to Google’s site. Could be that [...]

Just checked Google’s Nexus 1 website, and it seems Google has removed restrictions for ordering the phone from outside US. Now you can order it from Kuwait. Only catch is that the shipping address has to be in US, UK,Singapore, Hong Kong. I already have mailboxes from Aramex and UShopWeShip so I guess I will [...]

Finally got a chance to drop by at Geant in 360 mall few days back. And first impression is its disappointing. One can’t compare the shopping experience with Carrefour. Maybe because its much smaller, and a little claustrophobic, or is it the prices, or lack of that welcoming feeling. Anyways its out of my list [...]

After an eventful week of welcoming our twin baby boys, countless well wishers & family & friends dropping by, and the reality of fatherhood is finally sinking in…With all the new experience, times have changed as far as shopping experience goes too. Its time to shop for the newcomers. And boy oh boy..what a shopping [...]

mothercare and Bhs showrooms in Salimya [next to Alghanim showroom] have a great end of year sale on most of the inventory. The deal is sweetened with all items for 5 KD or less and buy 1 get 1 free. So basically you buy any item and get another item for the same price for [...]

With all the duststorms taking over our lives last week, there wasnt much to do over the weekend, and in the spirit of ‘do nothing’, I was at the Marina Mall, and checking out gadgets at Alghanim XCITE store when one of the guys from the store asked me if I was interested in playing [...]

iPhone is now touted at KD 249 [AlGhanim stores] and Nokia N97 is KD 249 – 250 [Alghanim Stores and Nokia showrooms]. Is it worth it..maybe in 6 months when both will dip to KD 150 or less levels. And btw if you are planning to buy iPhone 3G from Alghanim…just DONT because they are [...]
