Comments on: iPhone gets one step closer to China

Earlier this month, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the iPhone would come to China, but making that happen hasn't been easy.

Wasn't there a news article that said that millions of phones are unaccounted for and were probably being sold jail broken in the Asian markets?

Funny I know a couple people who bought iPhones while in the US but they live in China and use them there.

Time to revise those iPhone sales figures upwards.

That might not be bad idea yet it might take a while till that happens. I think it's unfair that some phones do not get to other countries.

What I am afraid is:
1. China Mobile will remove the Wifi. So far all of the certified mobile phones in China, can't get out of it.
2. Now China Mobile's 3G standard is TD-SCDMA. WCDMA 3G doesn't work in China. So eventually, the 3G module could be removed.

So, finally, 3G removed, Wifi removed, who will be the idiot to buy it?
