According to a Unicom senior exec however, the company sees strong demand from business users. "We expect the handset to attract over 10 percent of China’s 3G users in the following two to three years."
Chairman Chang Xiaobing went even further by saying that he expects the smartphone to become China's best-selling.
One of the main problems cited for slow sales is the phone's inflated price. Without contract, the higher capacity model sells for 6,999 yuan ($1000+ USD).
There are over 2 million users using gray-market iPhones in China currently.
