Most USA phones are coded and people usually have trouble when they try to use them with their Saudi chip. So, do other USA phones work here? If yes then go ahead.

The i-phone will currently work on with the U.S. Carrier Cingular/AT&t they will begin exporting to Europe, i forget which carrier soon. It will be quite some time before it will be in the middle east with any carrier. However u can get someone in the US to get u on a US plan with overseas options but it will be Verrrrry expensive. Wait a couple years, or pay alot...sorry.

Its not worth it.

no, not for a new one ... i mean it should be first get set up with AT&T SIM card (it comes with iphone) and US network. after this setup its gonna work perfectly with stc network. u can buy it from the market here in saudi arabia i saw it couple of time in riyadh.. make sure that u dont buy it from the internet unless it already get the setup or u could use it as mp3 only.

Iphone is not sold any where expect the U.S. Will start selling in Europe by end of the year. You can only buy Iphone with an AT&T 2 year subscription contract, so you will end up paying a lot of money for it that is if you can have a friend or relative who is a resident in the U.S and even if you get it after paying the phone price+2 year subscription plan you will get a locked phone that only works on the AT&T network, you will need to send it to a specialist to unlock it and then it can work on any GSM network. I strongly advise you to wait for a few months. Once it is sold in Europe, the middle east will follow and it will be much cheaper.Apple is also expected to launch a new version of Iphone early next year so by the time you buy it and start using it, it will be obsolete.
