It probably comes as no surprise that iphones can be purchased in China. What surprised me today was finding them for sale, not in some back alley next to all the pirated DVD's and fake ladies handbags, but at an authorized Apple dealer in a high end shopping mall here in Shenzhen. Behind the display glass (right next to the new ipod video Nanos) was an 8 gig iphone for 5,580RMB, about $750.
When I asked the salesman about the iphone and what sim card would work with it (I was playing dumb here) he told me it was unlocked and ready to work with any sim card I wanted.
