iLiberty has published the figures for sales figure for iPhone 3G in Russia. A big party of iPhone was chosen. Accordingly to them:
We’ve got a big party of iPhone 3G in 5 days after the official world release. We were the first to start shipping unlocked iPhone 3G to Russia officially.
Today we can make an analysis of iPhone sales in Russia.
Despite the fact that the unlocked phones (that work in any operator’s network) cost more than 12000 rubles than the activated one (that come from USA), the majority buys the unlocked – some 80 %. However, we were not surprised, since a person who has paid a lot of money for his iPhone 3G is likely to be willing to use the phone straightaway, without having to wait for the unlocks to be released.
The other thing was a big surprise to us – Russia has incredibly small demand for white iPhone 3G 16 GB – less than 1% of the overall sales, whereas white gadgets and cars are trendy on the West. That’s why the white iPhones were hard to find, so the dealers had to sell them at a higher price, than the black ones. And they are more practical anyways – the fingerprints aren’t that noticeable on the back side, and so are the scratches.
Speaking of the 8Gb vs 16Gb sales we have an expected result – 2 versus 1.
