Russian iPhone 4

I am in the US and I have an iPhone 4S. I have a friend in Russia and she has an iPhone 4.


Has apple released a Russian localization of iOS 5?


If so, does the Russian localization of iOS 5 have iMessage?


I would like for us to iMessage/SMS/Text using our apple IDs instead of phone numbers and thereby not be charged any money (beyond standard bandwidth useage for cell or ISP for wi-fi)? I have heard of this working internationally, but not necessarily in Russia.


Thank you!

iOS is always multilingual and can be switched among all the localizations listed in its tech specs in a couple seconds. Can you not see the Russian option right on your own phone in Settings > General > Language?
