Built without WiFi to accommodate then-current wireless regulations, the first run of the iPhone's Chinese edition hit the shelves last week. Since Chinese consumers have been able to access unlocked grey-market iPhones imported from other countries, demand for WiFi-crippled devices is likely to be weak.
The next batch is expected to have the same features as commonly found in other countries, which will allow a better opportunity to observe "normal" Chinese iPhone demand.
Not yet reported: Chinese access to App Store and iTunes.

Good-natured and spirited debate welcome. Ranting flameouts might consider posting elsewhere. Relevant posts containing links to your own's blog's comments on the subject are always welcome; incoherent mumblings accompanied by spam posts for commercial products are just not cool. Use good sense.
