Etisalat Arabic Curve 8300!
Etisalat released an Arabic BlackBerry 8300 Curve Operating System, at last!
I did not wait, I immediately installed the new OS to my AT&T BlackBerry 8300 Curve.
I waited for this since long. Now, my Curve supports the Arabic language.
The good news is, you can now read, and write Arabic too!

Most welcome, and true; let aside the new Curves: 8310 (with GPS), and 8320 (with Wi-Fi).

Hi Abdulla … do you now when will the new curves be available … and about the new operating system, can it be installed on them?

H Z:
Not very sure about the new Curves. But, most probably by the end of this year.
And, you can install any new release of an operating system on either phones.

Does anyone know if this will work for BlackBerry 8800?

The 8800 already has Arabic OS support.
Unless this is not what you meant by the question.

Thanks for the reply Abdulla, but my 8800 does not support Arabic. Is there an OS update that I can get for it? Thanks

Where did you buy your 8800 from? And, yes, there is Arabic support for 8800 available.
