The Fake One
Recently a lot of fake iPhones came to life in Russia. They are often being sold in the manner of a big rush, something like “Look, bro, I don’t have enough money for my train/plane tickets or whatever, but I’ve got a real iPhone, look the battery is dead but when you turn it on pushing the power you can see an apple logo for a while, so just charge it and you have an iphone!”. So people fall on this and then bring such devices to the service centers where they are being disassembled, and what a surprise - inside there is no anything looking like iPhone inner stuff but only two batteries and a light bulb lighting an apple logo shadow when the power button is being pressed, also there is a bar of steel so that the phone can weigh like a real thing.

During all the April Russian geeks were waiting for the iPhone from Apple to be released in Russia.
There were plenty of the signs: big billboards across the Moscow city made in Apple-style with the word “iSoon” in Russian and the date of April, 22st, 2008, itunes-store.ru webdomain with the same ad and many more “good signs” for those who wanted the localized iPhone. All the geek communities had a major buzz on this topic too.
But when the day X had come, it came out that they were all fooled. It turned to be a virus ad campaign by… Contex, the worldwide condom producer. They decided to advertise in this way their new condoms…
Another Russian iPhone

iPhone, Russian Edition
Today all the Internet communities discuss the iPhone that was announced by Apple.
Many people are really sad that they can buy it only from June in USA and only at the end of the year in Europe.
So Russian guys started getting their way of iphones already now.
