I've been able to send MMS without the 8080, but maybe adding it would help with the reliability issues some have been having. Forest: Thanks for sharing the alternate proxy setting.

But application developers should always remember us non-3G users. :) Jason: Glad to hear it worked for you! prairiedogg: When you do you’ll probably want to go with Unicom so you can get 3G.

Works perfectly. Though you have to be careful about usage since there's no unlimited service available. But it's great for emergency situations where the iPhone just isn't enough and you have to use your laptop. I think think of many times where the land line is down but my phone still can get online. So I can use it to receive orders and send do emails. Hope that helps someone who found this with google like I did... Tested it myself here in Guangzhou. Works perfectly.

Of what you mentioned, the drop down menu for common settings sounds the most interesting to me. I don't really care about themes, and I don't mind buying apps on the app store. I guess the primary advantage of *not* jailbreaking is stress-free upgrades. Thanks, Jim.

The unlocked ones were 299 for the 16GB model, and there was something like a $175 fee for canceling the contract (I think you also had to pay for one month of service). They were also somewhat scarce back then, so that upped the price to over 4000 RMB for a new phone. （Hmm... Looks like the prices are still that high on <a href="http://search1.taobao.com/browse/0/n-g,nfygq33omuqdgzzage3goyraypalbzq-------2-------b--40--commend-0-all-0.htm?at_topsearch=1&ssid=e-s1" rel="nofollow">Taobao</a>.)

Can't wait for the prairiedogg apps to start coming out! I better be on the beta tester list. :) I think they weren’t offering the unlocked phones yet.

I was under the impression, however, that you could buy unlocked iPhones in the states for $600, and with a contract is $200. I'm looking forward to getting one of the new iPhones when they come out - hopefully starting to write some apps. I'll be looking for guidance from 王总 when that happens. Wow, great article.
