iPhone 4 already in scarcity in Russia

Apple is a strange company when it comes to Russia: while it a whole bunch of loyal fans here including our own President has, the biggest fan seems to be the company often acts, as ever care to the market and its potential. The company holds delayed launches of its ultra popular products and negotiates prices with local retailers, the Apple gadgets far from affordable for most of the population of the country.

In this situation, it's really no wonder, that most people looking for a specific device from Apple, a way to get outside the official market which is not available. This trend completely spoiled sales of the iPhone 3 g and 3GS back then people arrived on aircraft from the United States with their cases full of Apple gadgets and everyone who actually wanted to an iPhone have actually had one through time, began the official sale. I guess this can happen eventually to iPad where finally officially here (overpriced as usual) as Russian planes and airports are full of people, with you and no one even knows if the devices will be available here actually officially!

But the latest iPhone model seems to be an exception here as it is definitely turn into a real scarcity and although to the high price is willing to pay, you will have little chance to do so or geraumer must time finding a place to get to spend the money. Mobile carriers to sell the smart phones in Russia agreed with Apple, have from reported a huge increase in sales and the devastating fact that the first batch the gadgets imports has sold after Russia within the first weekend of sales. But to be fair, we should mention here, that sources close claim to negotiations with Apple that this initial batch only is 14-20 thousand devices, let it no surprise that it so soon to an end.

The interesting part is that the overall situation with the launch sales can be described by iPhone 4 in Russia definitely as a mess: while everyone was accepted to the 22. September to start decided to begin a retailer, two days before selling gadgets that (with Apple on a specific date agrees) - and other retailers followed obviously not to lose the most passionate first customers.

The dealer who was responsible for the false start of sales only offered the gadgets in a shop in Moscow and a line of a few hundred people was quickly collected your hands on the shiny new devices to wait on the midnight and an opportunity. It's no wonder that quickly activated the line in a lot of squeezing opened the doors of the store - buy the first 50 people to iPhone 4 especially 50% discount in Exchange could get for your iPhone 3GS. And the discount is a nice, especially the 8 GB version price of about $1070 and 16 GB price is over $1,200.

Generally cause iPhone not so much interested in Russia because it looked too much like a remake of the previous model and came up with a large delay of more than half a year after it was introduced in the United States so that not even a novelty considered it the most tech-savvy users when it was finally available. And iPhone 4 is a very different company so people are eagerly return to the "good" Soviet tradition of waiting in lines!

Probably in Moscow it is more or less realistic, find it and buy it - least immediately after each new batch arrives and provided that you have arranged some retailers with for a pre-order. In fact, he was all mobile operators and retailers Russia devices you want to sell and not everywhere I, a reference to a specific store have found where the devices are available - everywhere I just invited to online bookings while writing I have checked the websites of the post. I don't know, it could be possible, that you expect that easy to go buyer from a store to a different hunting for your iPhone but this is definitely too much to do for an iPhone.

In fact, even try to pre order it from one of the retailers did not work for me – no matter, how hard I tried, my contact details be notified when the device is available to leave I was immediately forwarded to your website without any chance of actually understanding, when the precious gadget is available. And I am afraid really Apple buyers again - but this time will lose could because people of waiting for get tired and find an alternative way, eBay will send the device or where no one will expect other online auctions that a buyer to be dammed for hours in a crowded place.
