As for the iPhone fines -- why? Who is fining them for poor sales? That seems like a bad idea, to fine businesses that are already suffering from poorer-than-expected sales.]]>May 22nd 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/May 22nd 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/May 22nd 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/May 23rd 2009 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/

Russia get every Sony, Nokia, Samsung, LG and other phones first. The iPhone isn't good enough to compete with the new phones coming out (although the next generation might be). That's why it's flopped.]]>May 22nd 2009 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/May 22nd 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/

In Russia official iPhone costs like $1000 in prices of 2008.
Today, when dollar has raised to ruble - it costs near $750.
But at the same time (like everywhere) thousands of people lost their jobs and salaries was frozen or even dropped.
The reason is simple - too expensive.]]>May 22nd 2009 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/]]>May 22nd 2009 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/May 22nd 2009 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/May 22nd 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/May 22nd 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/May 22nd 2009 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/only americans think its the greatest thing since sliced bred. the phones that sell over there are windows mobile and symbian.

But it's some how more useful, as a business tool, than the super-hyped iPhone.

I'm guessing the sales of high-end phones go to business users that need what WM / Symb offer. Rather than people that want a phone built into their PMP. ]]>May 22nd 2009 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/
Maybe, just maybe not everybody is batshit nuts over the iPhone in Russia.

There is a good number of iphones which are taken on contract and sold on classifieds like craigslist (Sells for around $400, wayy cheaper then in russia, India and china where the subsidised phone concept has'nt been as prevalent).

The iphone is not "years" behind the competition either. there are programs that allow you to do everything aside from video conferencing on the phone and not many phones out there allow you to do that either. I can control my servers remotely, run word,, excel and other apps. I can run any DB scheme out there. Alas, I can not watch the latest rerun of the simpsons for lack of a TV tuner nor can I listen to some crap FM radio station that plays the "latest hit" 75 times a day....

Just because you can not afford one or are to ignorant to see the plethora of fatal flaws in WM dont judge other people that do not share your opinion...]]>May 22nd 2009 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/sluggish-iphone-sales-could-lead-to-stiff-fines-for-russian-oper/
And 12 fps video is not video. This camera wasn't made for video capturing. And finally, BT is a big deal. For 7 years now, you can take a photo from your Nokia phone and send it to all your friends with a single touch using BT.

Just because you know NOTHING about the "competition" doesn't mean you can speak out of your ass.]]>May 22nd 2009 3:23PM
