Like any gov run company, they will run it into the ground with idiotic rules, requirements, and regulations.

Banning WiFi to support a failed home grown solution? Pleezeeeee...

I seriously doubt the iphone will ever have strong sales in China. I'm sure the prices at China Mobile will be similar to what China Unicom has (4999-6999yuan(700-1k US~)). Why would they pay that much for a crippled phone when they can just buy the knockoff that is just as good for under 100 US and have all of the features (other than being able to access itunes).
