China Mobile starts 3G services, TD phones to be sold next week in 8 Olympic cities

Yesterday, I learned from an authoritative person in the industry that China Mobile would be the first to sell TD phones in 8 Olympic cities across the country next week. Common consumers can go and buy them. This also means that China's 3G services will officially enter pre-commercial use. However, relevant people from China Mobile refused to confirm this news yesterday. The source revealed that according to China Mobile, all their business halls will handle TD services for ordinary users, but he personally believed that because the current amount of TD mobile terminals is still relatively small, they might be sold in some of China Mobile's larger business halls.
