Steve Jobs gave Russian President Dmitry Medvedev a gift of a new iPhone 4 during his visit to Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California.

Medvedev became the first Russian to get the handset that thousands are desperately trying purchase today.

According to the Russian mobile operator Beeline, the brand new device may appear on the Russian market no earlier than September.

During his speech at Stanford University, Medvedev read from an Apple iPad and said, "I wanted to see with my own eyes the origin of success. I'm inspired with what I saw here in Silicon Valley and at Stanford. In a very good way, I am kind of jealous of all you here."

What you guys are unaware of is that Myedvyedyev is a big Apple fan and is a gadget lover. Do some more research on the guy before making assumptions and accusations.

First picture - russian president holding the phone from the side Second picture - Steve Jobs jumps in says "hold it from top and bottom, that way you don't lose frequency. See we're already getting more bars." Third picture - awkward looks from both men realizing the stupid manufacturing mistake
