Last week China Center for Information Industry Development (CCID) in Beijing released a report claiming that more than 77% of Chinese mobile users are keen to buy 3G handsets when they become available. Contrary to the majority, only 6% of respondents said they would not buy a 3G handset.
According to the report:
- 75% of respondents are willing to spend up to 2,500 yuan (250 EUR) for a handset,
- 25% would pay only 1,000 yuan or less, and
- somewhere less than 24% of the users would consider buying more expensive handsets priced more than 2,500 yuan
