The iPhone and Russia

Interesting. According to MacWorld, with the exception of China - where Apple is in ongoing negotiations, Russia remains the largest country in the world without an iPhone distribution deal - yet.

While the first-generation handset was popular on the Russian gray market, with no less than President Dmitri Medvedev calling the device “his latest passion”, the 3G model has yet to come to the motherland.

But change is on the way as Apple has reportedly struck a deal with Mobile TeleSystems, the largest cell phone provider in Russia.
