You can try the settings I've mentioned here. I didn't try it with a prepaid number so I cannot tell you for sure that it works. Let me know if it does. It is a fairly easy setup.

It is a really good phone. The packages Etisalat offers are found here. I got the 1 GB but haven't used 10% of it; I'm always around wifi.

Hi Saif,

Cool phone man.. I’ve just ordered one too from the UK, and will soon be trying to figure out how to use it in the UAE.

I’m going to need it as a phone, mms, wi-fi, 3G and push e-mail. I have an EIM e-mail account and a Du pre-paid sim card. I can already envisage issues there with asking Etisalat to push to a Du mobile number, and need to check this out.

What data packages do Etisalat offer to get the 3G capability working here for Android phones?

Do please let me know how you get along with configuring yours to work here.

Cheers,

Nick

The settings should work without a problem. What version of Android are you using?

I’m sorry but I don’t know anything about that.

Other than the Android market issue, how do you like the phone?
