So… the Spice phone, with no screen or non-voice call functions will cost the equivalent of RMB 141? With basic but full-featured phones available at RMB 199, or even RMB99, new - where’s the market, again?
RMB99: advert next to public newspaper board. These boards are still pretty common around Beijing, with the day’s paper there for passersby to read.
RMB 199, in the window of a phone shop at Wudaokou. With a constant influx of new students - Chinese, Western, and (in large numbers) Korean - the phone market is intensely competitive here. A cluster of shops make it a great place to look for that new phone, regardless of budget.
