iPhone grows its area of existence to Jordan, where it launches exclusively with Orange Jordan. The iPhone will be available in three plans on a one-year contract basis, ranging from 30JD to 80JD per month (between $43 and $115), with the higher plans lowering the cost of the handset.
Jordan though being a predominant Arabic-speaking country, iPhone will be available minus the Arabic language support. Despite the iPhone 2.0 software adding options for interface localization in sixteen languages and over twenty different input options—including radically different alphabets such as Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean—the iPhone’s support for Middle Eastern languages has been shoddy since its release. The phone’s interface can be displayed in neither Arabic nor Hebrew, and there’s no way to enter text in either language.
