New iPad2 but no FaceTime?

Interesting thread.
I live in the UAE and my husband sent me my iPad2 16G 3G as a present from Saudi.
FaceTime is installed on this particular iPad; which was brand new, straight out of the box with the clear-wrap still around it, untouched and untampered with by customs/postal carrier when I received it.
However, when I go to set up the account the country option of UAE is not available in the list, Qatar however, is listed.
Like others here in the UAE I am disappointed this is unavailable and will have to either do without, jailbreak, or wait until the powers that be decide to unblock FaceTime . . . I won't hold my breath on the last option 

Well you can make Facetime work if it is installed in the iPad 2. All you need to do is to select another country and go through the registration process. It will work for sure. I am using it in UAE (obviously I have the models that have FT installed) and I am feeding in another country's name. It works wonderfully well and doesnt even need a VPN.
