As you know 3 oct 2008 IPhone sales started in Russia. I'm from RussianiPhone.ru team, and I have talked with shop assistants from 16 points of sale like M-Video, Euroset, Svyaznoy, Alt-telecom about iPhone features, What do they know about iPhone?



Here is the translate from Russian into English (Thanks sj-82)


-iPhone works fine only with Apple computers.
-There is no iTunes. Some seller consultants have heard something about it and think that it can be bought.. abroad…
-There is white iTunes or aluminum.. a little… We don’t have it.
-Activation?? What is it ?
-No, works only with the SIM-card which one was enabled. So, you can’t turn it on just like that. Only after purchase… And do not turn it off then!
-Yes, you can buy a memory card. Which one ? Lets me see… (went to the warehouse).
-Yes, right! SD or MicroSD with adapter, here is a card-reader at the top.
-What does it mean where is SIM-card inserted ? Just open battery cover and put your SIM-card here…Wait… i can’t open it. Hey, Sveta! You’ve long fingernails. Please, open it.
-No, you can’t upload something to iPhone. Only using WiFi.
-Yep, actually, only one speaker is working, It seems to be a flaw cause it should be stereo.
-Black one is working with PC and white with Mac.
-Games? Yes, you can get download link via SMS payment service
-Off course you can transfer ring tones. Have you heard about Bluetooth ? Ops.. fault. -Lets try via WiFi… Nope… You know… we have a lot of interference here. You should try it at home… Would you like to buy it ?
-Yeah, somebody crack IPhones and makes call abroad for free.
-How ?.. Button ? Ough, it is a headset button indeed…
-GPS is working fine while you connect to your cigarette lighter(in a car). By the way we have car charger on sale.
-No, you can use iPhone gloved.. Press stronger!.. More stronger!.. Weird.. Lets me try…
-OS version ? I believe Windows Mobile 2009!

Well, not bad... He-he-he
Now I need a drink...

LOL What the?!?!?...

hmmmm
What can I say.......?
I want that 3 minutes of my life back

That is seriously funny sh!t man!!!! They are worse than Carphone Whorehouse in the UK.

LOL . Although carphonewhorehouse are still capable of classics like "No you can't insert the SIM card the phone came with, as it's already built in. The external one supplied is just for security purposes". I kid you not- this is what a nice chap said to my bro when he asked how to get the SIM carrier out

By the way two days ago I've bought iPhone 3G 8GB for a mere $280. Unlocked

One of russian retailers mentioned above has some sort of promotion and sells them really cheap. New and sealed.

Oh man. Those are really so irritating. I would throw it to waste box rather than using. So many problems. Is it original?
