We’ve known for some time that China Mobile was planning to launch the KIRFy OPhone from Lenovo. Now, with word on the street that China Unicom has snagged the iPhone in that provider’s home turf, a report from DigiTimes is suggesting that China Mobile might be trying to undermine the competition’s supposed June iPhone launch by dropping the OPhone a month earlier. That sounds sensible enough, but are people there so eager for iPhone they’d jump on the imitation rather than wait another month for the real thing? We’ll find out soon enough.
