Availability of iPhone in Finland?

I tried to buy an iPhone at my local electronics shop here in Finland friday October 16th. To my amazement they couldn't deliver. I had to put my name on a waiting list. The salesperson told me that I probably will have to wait several months before I get the phone. He said I'll be lucky if I get one before new year. The reason, he said, is that Apple ships about 500 iPhones to Finland each month. This is ridiculous. Apple could outsell Nokia in Nokia's own back yard if they would meet demand.
I realize that Finland is a very small market area (abt 1/3 of Manhattan), but I've understood that Apple has no severe bottlenecks in the production. So why not deliver?
I am a journalist and I need a phone that is compatible with my MacBook. This is the first time during my 20+ years with the Mac that I'm not satisfied.
Can anyoe give a plausible explanation to this discrimination of us Finns?

No, I didn't. The salesperson in the store claimed that Sonera's webstore has even longer waiting lists, because they deliver to their dealers in the first place.
But maybe he just tried to stop med from shopping elswhere. Perhaps I should explore this further…
thanks

App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row.

App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row. Even when I go to the specific app and press Update, the update begins to install then aborts with this error message.iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1. Also very long delay typing each keystroke in this message.

That error message is usually indicative of a problem with the App Store. If you look through the forums, you'll see that a number of people are experiencing the problem. Try again tomorrow.

We are fellow users here on these forums, as far as I know Apple haven't said. If you want that feature then you can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Can i avail buying iphone 4s for $99 for use in the philippines?

can i avail buying iphone 4s for $99 which i intend to use in the philippines?

If your sister breaches the contract, she will be subject to termination fees that would make it more expensive than purchasing an unlocked phone at full retail price that you could actually use.

I cannot find an option in iphone4s to lock on GSM (2g) network. Similar option is available in iPhone 4.

The chipset in the 4S does not support manually disabling 3G in favor of Edge.

When will there be a car charger available for iphone 5?

I want to know when there will be a car charger available for iphone 5?

Texasgirl97: You do not need a car charger "with a Lightning connector on it". Car chargers have a USB port; all you have to do is use the cable that came with your iPhone 5, which has a USB connector on one end (plug it into the car charger) and a Lightning connector on the other end (plug it into the iPhone 5). Car chargers are cheap, much less than $50 or even $30. I've seen some advertised for around $10. Some even have two USB ports. Extra cables are becoming available now at around $10. Search Amazon.com or other on-line vendors.

You could possibly try ringing the store if you want to know

Activation server is not available on iphone 3GS i put it in DFU mode but still can not activate i went to apple store but they did not help?

activation server is not available on iphone 3GS i put it in DFU mode but still can not activate i went to apple store but they did not help?

There are four possible causes of the activation error:
The activation server is unavailable. Rare, but it happens. Usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall (or your router's firewall) is blocking access to the domain gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your phone is jailbroken.
Your phone isn't jailbroken, but the computer you are connected to during the restore or update was used to hack or jailbreak some other iOS device, and its network database was corrupted in the process.
Perhaps this will provide you some clues as to how to proceed. If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, Apple has some troubleshooting suggestions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424?viewlocale=en_US
If your iPhone has been jailbroken, you're on your own. We can provide no assistance for jailbroken devices in these forums.
