Two China's Again - A Mobile Phone for Each

textually.org: Rich Asians snapping up world's most expensive mobile phones

Check out this new phone: the flagship Vertu model is a platinum-cased Signature model, costing $ 32,000. "Self-made millionaires, celebrities, high-flying professionals and ladies who lunch are flashing Vertus made of precious metals, ceramic and leather at one another in Asia's corporate boardrooms and country clubs... The most avid buyers in Asia are mainland and Hong Kong Chinese, Indonesians and Singaporeans."

Meanwhile the other 290MM Chinese cell phone subscribers are pretty happy with voice and SMS on the least expensive phones around (but just as good or better for their class).
