China Mobile doesn't want to pay for a not so exclusive "exclusive" agreement. Can't say I blame them. Besides, with 80 percent of the market, China Mobile holds all the cards in this negoatiation. Would be interesting to see how this thing plays out.</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2007/11/14/iphone_coming_t.php#comment-1235401 http://shanghaiist.com/2007/11/14/iphone_coming_t.php#comment-1235401 Comments Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:27:33 +0800 <p>There will be certainly people buying a crippled version, just to have one. But i wonder how much china mobile will ask for them, since you can get a unlocked/contract free one under rmb4500 on the street today...</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2007/11/14/iphone_coming_t.php#comment-1235394 http://shanghaiist.com/2007/11/14/iphone_coming_t.php#comment-1235394 Comments Wed, 14 Nov 2007 15:55:14 +0800 <p>BTW, Chinese carriers do not allow handsets with WiFi(disabled through firmware), and the iPhone if approved to carry the "China Mobile" logo will be no exception. Not sure how many ppl will pay for a "gimped" China Mobile iPhone.</p>
