  1. So far the real demand here has been unknown since every iPhone received by TeliaSonera over the years have been sold before hitting any shelf (waiting list have been several weeks).

    There have been lot of angry customers here blaming TeliaSonera for their inability to get more phones from Apple and for their obscure (to say the least) price plans.

    Now Elisa – the other big carrier here – enters the game, forcing TeliaSonera to change their business practices ..this is very good news for the average customer.
