iPhone coming in September for 2,400RMB?

In perhaps the biggest sign that the iPhone actually is coming to China and soon, China Unicom has reportedly bought 5 million units from Apple for 10 billion RMB. What's more, it will finally begin selling them in September, with the 8GB standard iPhone set at a very reasonable 2,400RMB and the 16GB priced at 4,800RMB, according to the International Business Times. Sounds great for the many of us who have been waiting years for this to happen! Now to cross our fingers and hope this news is real, unlike the many instances where we've been burned before.

yep, reasonable price, but will it be unlocked? probably they'll find ways to do it for you. And what about the Unicom stalls, for sure they will be packed with people.

Time for me to get something else besides an iPhone then.

@pasarq - unlocking and jailbreaking an iphone is pretty easy to do yourself. the internet will help.
