I don't know about success, but I can comment on purchasing power, which usually influences decisions such as this. In that sense Brazil has the 6th GDP in the world. Kazakhstan, the 49th.
If the question is logistics, Kazakhstan is not near any countries that actually produce Apple goods (South-East Asia and South America do).
Very strange!! I have used iPhone since 2008 and it has never randomly reboot for me except few times when i jail-broke it and few times when testing iO7, but non after beta 3! I wonder if any other is experiencing same problem?
Im still waiting for my preorder from O2.
I just wanted to pipe in that random crashes are likely due to ios 7 and not the 5s proper. I have the iPhone 5 32 GB and the phone occasionally crashes when using certain apps (Chrome is one). My NEVER crashed before I switched to ios 7. Granted it did freeze for a few seconds here and there, but that was rare. Overall, I'm happy with ios 7 and bugs are to be expected until the software matures more.
That said, again, I believe the crash issues are with the software.
Also, when I got my iPhone 5 in October of last year I had my power button fail on me in several months. They never hassled me when I exchanged it. When my replacement got a dead pixel two months later, again, no hassle though they did take it to the back to make sure it was a dead pixel first. Third replacement works fine.

Ah finally. I was thinking whether to go for grey market and Apple plans to release it early here in UAE. cant wait!
----------
And yeah good they are releasing it so damn early. You've no idea how many grey markets are going around here in UAE. For Gold they charge 5000 AED that is 1,360 USD approx. Though Gold is hard to get but if you've money its easy to get them here.

Nice to see it only took them a month to announce the second roll out would come in a little less than 3 weeks.
Got my 32GB AT&T on launch day. Love it. came from a white 4S and prior to that a white 3S. But still looking daily to get a gold 16gb for my partner
Did they say what may have caused your blue "screen of death"? I was experiencing that too on my Space Grey iPhone5s. It (blue screen, then restart) would occur every time I was in iWork's Pages and would go to jump out to another app. Until yesterday, I could constantly replicate the event, even after the iOS7.0.2 update. I show no record of Pages updating to fix the issue. It just stopped occurring. Could this be a hardware issue that is just temporally not occurring? From my experience, usually in PCs, a blue screen means hardware.
I don't even have iWork on my phone, and Apple seems to think it's hardware.
----------
blue screen of death is a microsoft feature not an apple one -- you sure you got an iPhone?
As for the random crashes, I have gotten a few, but the frequency you are reporting seems exaggerated, but if you are actually on the a microsoft phone (see point above) then it all makes sense.
I didn't have a single crash when I tried Windows Phone for a weekend, but maybe that's because there were no apps to run on it.
----------
Already done all of the above, and Apple sees the crashes as a hardware problem (I sent in my diagnostics). Also, the second phone didn't have the issue.
I find it hard to believe too, trust me.
----------
Nope, already tried more than once.
Man these guys are going to take it to the next level. Can't believe how many devices there are going to be in the world. I wonder if they will flood the market one day like they did with their iPods?
But they will have the World Cup 2014.
No, you can't have your Olympics before you've finished your Football World Cup.Yeah.. But I rather have so many other things first...
Your 3rd iPhone had Windows on it?
----------
If your phone's screen it turning blue like a windows PC, you find a way to get a picture of it. The Internet would go wild for an iPhone with thr blue screen of death.
Pics or it didn't happen.
----------
There are a lot of people who only use an iPhone for texting, phone calls, internet browsing and angry bird. People who could probably get by with an iPhone 4S. (or earlier, just using that one since it's the oldest still available from Apple)
Not everyone needs a 64bit A7...

Not mine, but it's very easy to find the issue on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=iphone+5s+blue+screen+of+death
It may be hard to get a shot of a random crash (My iPhone 5s had 3 during the first couple days, none since) but these other people were able to get shots of blue screens, where is yours?
Wait, are the crashes nonstop or random? If they are nonstop, that means they do not stop. Just setup a video camera and point at the iPhone during one of it's nonstop crash cycles.
----------
There is a difference between just being patient and seeing a company take your order and then divert their attention elsewhere before completing.
Orders taken before should have priority over new orders Apple plans to take on the 25th.
I am happy I ordered on the 20th (September) and it was in my hands by the 24th (September)

What are you trying to prove? It happened.

Alrighty, so grammatically I guess I should've been more clear.
Seems ridiculous that they are opening up to other countries when all the stores in Texas and the region beyond still can't allow order to pickup.
Yeah, because the americans have to be satisfied before anyone else can get it, right?
Bear in mind that most of the new countries use a different model (LTE bands) than the US, so there's no direct "take away from the US and give to NZ", for example. Naturally many components are shared, but existing unshipped US stock isn't going to be diverted to other countries.
