    Don't most religions or laws in the middle east forbid women to hide their face? I dont see the point of FaceTime over there.

    well , i dont know why people think that if facetime is not displayed on the ad of iphone 4 then it is disabled!

    i have tried facetime with many people who got thier iphone 4 in the UAE , the facetime works just fine like it would work in NA without no restrections! its only Saudia arabia iam guesssing where facetime might be blocked.

    There is a much easier explanation for this. Since there is no Apple Store in these countries, the venders either import the ipods from another country directly or the vemders are authorized Apple resellers. Both of which mean that the devices are stock devices that are available in any other countries. Therefore the only other way for blocking any service from Apple's side is through the settings, which czn be easily bypassed.

    As for the ISPs, if the facetime addresses are unique to facetime services, then the ISPs might ban these and effectively disable facetime in the future. Who knows?

    In other words, there isnt much of a conspiracy here other than what the obvious is.

    it is as simple as this "APPLE IS DUMB"
    If you buy an iPhone unofficially in Middle east, then you can have facetime,
    If you buy officially then you will not have facetime.. WOW
    APPLE just blocked that application on specific Models which are officially selling in Middleeast i.e. MC605AE
    Face time is not blocked by service provider in i.e. Saudi but it is Apply the dumb who blocked it...

    Magic Jack

    You know I always cringe at the thought of damaging my iPhone, at least for the first few weeks then it just becomes another thing I carry araound. Although the new iPhone 4 hasne worn off quite yet. I still love it just as much as my Magic Jack

    try to be original and most importantly get your fact right before publishing this. Facetime is NOT installed on i-pod 4G devices in the UAE therefore cannot be accessed via the settings.. !It does not exist on the device period!Now a useful article which would bring your website thousands of hits would be to publish how to get facetime on the ipod 4G. Maybe we need to format the device and then it will appear.. there is a way to do this but how?
