First of all, like all the other device, this special designed iPhone doesn't have WiFi functionality; come with Os version 3.1(could be 3.1beta), and baseband version 5.10. Pricing is still non-settled, but there will be 3G and 3GS, both with a 2-year contract commitment. with 3G iPhone, the iphone itself will be sold 2500~2700RMB, while with 3GS will cost 4000+ RMB. No detail on monthly fee yet.
