the Chinese wireless market was not as saturated as it is now. that is a good point. as Tero pointed out, there are only about 200 million people in China's urban cellphone market, and 100 million of them already have phones.

When GSM came on as competition to analog, the Chinese wireless market was not as saturated as it is now. Are you allowed to post stuff like that on this thread?! I get chastised every time I suggest it... Rob

What about Europe, Korea, Japan, and the US? Last time I checked, digital standards in each of those places seem to have been widely accepted, despite analog being there first. And at some point, their growth looked like the Unicom CDMA growth does now... Europe is a pretty saturated market now, but that doesn't stop people from buying handsets... replacement of existing ones with new features or better quality seems to be supporting a few handset manufacturers there... Or are you telling me the Chinese won't buy CDMA handsets as replacements because of the superior quality of GSM? DWB
