More than 50,000 Chinese customers pre-ordered the iPhone 4 and huge lines formed in Beijing for the official launch, according to a CNN FORTUNE report.
More than 50,000 Chinese customers pre-ordered this model, and by 8 a.m., when the doors opened at Apple's new store in Beijing's Joy City shopping mall, the queue was more than 1,000 customers long.
"It's like waiting in line to see a movie star," Sun Jian Kuan, 26, told a Computerworld reporter. "No phone can best the iPhone."
