That's 10% of GROSS monthly salary. You really think that's close enough? Really? Do you still live at home with your parents by any chance?

Cue's figures further support my argument. If only 11% of China Mobile's subscribers even have 3G in the first place, how many of that 11% will have a top end phone? How many of that little percentage will opt for a 920 in preference to a Galaxy or iPhone? The number just keeps getting smaller and smaller doesn't it?

On what do you base that assertion? So far nothing has happened that would suggest that's feasible.

Ashas aren't bad, however you can get an Android device of better spec for the same money and from Chinese manufacturers too. It seems patriotism is becoming a real factor in the Chinese smartphone market with Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo and CoolPad all enjoying growing support from the Chinese consumer. I understand Android's market share in China last quarter was over 90% as a result.


"Working Groups

The day-to-day operations of the MeeGo programs are steered by a number of working groups, which are delegates of the Technical Steering Group. The working groups are devoted to strategic discussions in specific areas and are accountable to provide input and guidance about requirements, direction, policies, and conflict resolution, within their area of responsibility. These working groups are open to maintainers and other individuals and organizations that specialize in the domain of the specific group."
