Rumor:iPhone Will Come To China at 2008 Spring Festival?
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007Rumor source here 
D.Phone(迪信通) is one of the largest phone retailers here in beijing, even whole mainland. Actually my first mobile phone moto P7689 was bought there in Jan, 2001.
I think to make iphone available to china, at least the deal should cover several issues:
1.Official unlocked iphone.
Perhaps the same as the Germany/France version. Good news, anyway, isn’t it?
2.UI Localization
This may not be a big issue.
Actually even without the official one, an Chinese lang pack are already there by achan11.
3.App Localization
Like Chinese Input(I know you’ve already got iCosta or NativeCn working, but kinda hand-writing IME is still necessary), Phone Enhancement(CallID correctly recognition etc).
4.Hardware Localization
Perhaps, Wifi module has to been removed as required by Chinese goverment(sorry,it’s in Chinese).
But I wonder how many people still wanna buy such an iphone.
