“Today we’ve learned that China Unicom has now passed the 300,000 iPhone sales threshold,” Dan Butterfield reports for iPhonAsia.
“This triples the 100,000 sales milestone reported on December 9,” Butterfield reports.
“It took 40 days to reach 100,000 iPhone sales, and less than 20 days later iPhones sales in China have now hit the 300,000 mark,” Butterfield reports.

YEah!!! First post, nothing to say thoug. Way to go Apple!
How did they go from 5 to 300000. They were saying you had to sell your first born to buy it.
In China, your first born is your “only-born.”
Hell, Verizon has sold more Droids in the US than China Unicom has sold iPhones in China.
I wonder how many unlocked phones sold in Hong Kong find their way to China? Probably a very high number.
@ Peter
And Apple/ AT&T;sold more iPhones 3gs in one day then the Droid has sold period.
What the hell is a Droid? Somekind of Zune Phone?
Not sure, I don’t even know what a Zune is…
One day, Grasshopper, you will have your own iPhone.
Until then, you must chop wood and carry water.
300000? No wonder. I walked around to check out dozen or so real estate agents in Shanghai today, saw three new iPhones on them. I just don’t get it, no WiFi but they still buy them. I thought they just use them as phones, but they were showing lot of pictures and video, had games and stuff, and those were the real Unicom iPhones.
Huge numbers of Droid purchasers have had to exchange their Droids due to defects, and a surprising number exchanged them twice!
Are those numbers included in the Droid sales figures?
If so you can reduce Droid sales to half the quoted number.
monkey see, monkey do. the iPhone makes so much sense in China.
Droid rhymes with roid – side effect rage at typing on either of the keyboards, software and hardware.

Do you have any proof of that? I’d like a few links please.
