Still, he points out a few problems using his iPhone. 'For instance, the input method is not good and convenient enough' for writing Chinese characters. 'It's not easy to forward messages. When trying to open a couple of Web pages at the same time, the browser might refuse to work.'
'But still, I think it's already the best high-end phone, even with these many problems,' he says.
Jessica Wu, a 26-year-old trading company employee in Nanjing, bought her 8-gigabyte iPhone for about $670 at a mobile phone market in Feb. 2008. Her unit is 'jailbroken,' which allows her to download applications from Apple's App Store. One problem with her phone is that every time she upgrades the software, she has to jailbreak it again. 'Original iPhones can be upgraded directly through iTunes, which is more convenient.'
But it's a small price to pay, she says. 'To some extent, iphone and other Apple products are considered a status symbol.'
Buying Outside China
Zhang May, a 28-year-old from Shanghai asked a friend to buy her an iPhone in the U.S. two years ago. She paid $399. 'I chose iPhone because of its good brand, good quality and good function,' she said. Zhang says she's had no major problems using her jailbroken iPhone in China.
Hong Kong a self-run Chinese city where the iPhone is already officially sold has been a popular place to pick up a legally unlocked iPhones without a SIM card or any type of commitment to a local cellular plan. Mainland Chinese residents can visit the city easier these days than in the past, and those who have access to a Hong Kong mailing address can also make purchases via Hong Kong's online Apple Store. Current prices range from HK$4,488 to HK$6,288, or about $580 to $810.
