3G Services In China Up And Running On China Mobile
That was fast. Four weeks after launching a trial for its 3G service, China Mobile has determined that the high-speed phone service based on the country’s homegrown 3G standard TD-SCDMA is ready for real action. Xinhua News Agency reports that China Mobile and South Korean handset maker Samsung have presented 15,000 3G phones, plus data cards and some $428,600 worth of airtime to the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympics on Monday. The service goes ahead then, without the formality of 3G licenses being issued by the Chinese government.

Hi, i live in China.I call to the China Mobile where i’m a VIP customer to ask information about the 3G service.I have a Nokia e71 and my wife Nokia N95. So the point is, to can have the 3G service in China you must apply for a new phone number starting with 157…… and also to buy a mobile (attention) just from China Mobile becouse the other phones (3g Phones like Nokia or others) are not working on the 3G Network from China.So if you want the 3g service you must have a new number and a new phone…
So forget about it….
