Today I read the announcement that iPhone will soon come to Latvia through TeliaSonera, who signed the agreement with Apple. Unfortunately it will be distributed by LMT mobile operator, who has highest prices in the country and no even such highly useful thing as voice mail. This definitely leaves iPhone out for me. Bad. Too bad.
