Some of the country names I am hearing for the first time.
Apple doesn't have enough supply now of the 5s, what happens after this rollout?
Never heard of that country.
It also doesn't have a keyboard h ch means it's not a very good email machine. And this color scheme has got to stop¡
I presume the same thing that happens during the rollout; they'll keep on making more. Really, I don't understand the question...

I had to go search for Moldova, first time I ever heard of it.
Apple is going to have a shortage of Touch ID sensors for months - thanks to these launches and the new iPads. I've just got to make sure I stay up late when iPad orders open up ... Maybe even make a dry run just so I know I can complete the order in less than 30 minutes lol!
People will keep trying until a phone is available. Most buyers are not without a current phone and I assume that if they've decided on this device they will keep trying until stock is sufficient.
I've been watching stock for the last week so I can upgrade my wife's phone. Seems that the 16gbs are coming in to the Apple Stores and third party retailers pretty well but the 32 and 64 are a bit harder to find. Each store I've been to has had a 16gb 5s but I haven't yet found a 32gb device in stock.
Make mine a slate grey 32 GB please! I wonder if the locals will especially lust after the gold model. I'm guessing so...there are gold shops everywhere here and it's definitely a sign of wealth....
Strange that some people haven't heard of Moldova. Mind you, most Europeans haven't either and it's almost in our backyard. :-)

Well, let me help you.
"Hi! Here's the new iPhone 5s. We're selling it in your country now!"
"Great! I'll take one!"
"I said we're selling it now. I didn't say we had any."
... or better yet...
"I ordered my phone 3 weeks ago but it hasn't arrived."
"Sorry, sir, we sold your phone to a guy in Moldova."

Don't you know, similar to Sweetstovia is where there's lots of sweets everywhere, Moldova is where theres lots of mold everywhere, its the mold kingdom, McDonolds' there have McMoldy, a delicious mold burger made with mold, chicken fat and grounded cigarette butt patty. Anybody from Moldova read AI?
They left South Africa out
Yeah … Italy coming up.
iPhone5s is going to be a nice upgrade form iP4.
What I still could not make my mind up is the iPad: mini or regular; or the MBA?
