China Mobile, Largest carrier in China (and the World) scores the Nokia Lumia 920
WinP.cn via WMPU reports that China Mobile, China’s largest carrier at 655 million subscribers (and the largest in the world by subscriber) will be getting the Nokia Lumia 920. This is great news as the previous Lumias had not made it to that network. This is expected to be a TD-SCDMA version.

- Nokia Lumia 920 va haciendo su camino en China | Blog Enfundate | September 15, 2012
Yayyyyyy!
even if lumia get only half of that subscribers.,it stills lots..
True that..
You Sir, not only have a pig benis, but also salls of bleel to go for 300+ million subscribers!
no way, I’m guessing there isn’t much more than 100 million smart owners in those 680 million. If Nokia can get over 10 million of them from launch to the end of 2013, with the 920, I’d call it excellent.
Still China is the worlds biggest smartphone market.
Yes, and growing fast, good presence there now is very important, so this is very good news.
Just the thought of Nokia selling over 100 million 920s is ridiculous, when the whole market is about that size, and when the 920 is relatively expensive.
Major news in Nokia’s biggest Lumia market.
So that destroys one of Tomi Ahonen’s points about Elop not knowing the key to success in the mobile market.
Haha, exactly. I hope Elop shows everybody wrong and proves Nokia can bounce back. Looking at this exclusive deals stuff, where providers will really push the product, it might happen guys. It just might happen.
and they don’t even have the iPhone and may not get it for a while, so their promo spend for the 920 is likely to be sizable! Good news for Nokia indeed!
They got the iPhone, but the thing is, even if only 0.5% of their subscribers buy the Lumia 920, the number is going to be more than 3 million…
China Mobile does NOT have the iPhone.
Oh well, I prefer China Unicom….
Not surprised China Mobile scores this one….Put their big state owned foot down and say mine!
But ultimately isn’t a thing, I’ll buy mine in HK for FB, Twitter and Skype…(via VPN, except skype…I found after modding skype to my China N9, it works just fine).
Unless MS puts their foot down count on all the above being missed on China Mobile versions and China version 920′s/800′s in general.
The Chinese WP phones have Baidu and Weibo integration instead to cater to the local market, I’m not sure how that makes MS not doing anything there.
Nice, I hope many get the lumia 920, to boost the windows 8 platform.
Also everyone you gotta see this, this only proves the point even further, many people do not even know what phone they buy, they just do it cause they are brainwashed it seems. lol

That ‘new’ iPhone5 video completely cracks me up. My kids are gonna love this when they get home from school.
Thanks for sharing.
CM’s 3G/4G network follows TDD regulation, which is not supported by iPhone 3GS/4/5. So this is a good news for both Nokia and CM.
I hope it also supports the coming 4G tech for CM (TD-LTE).
WP’s market share just went up by about 2%.
thats good news.i hope L920 sells 3million units a quarter
more good news for nokia, now i just hope they can manufacture the lumia in large quantities and fast !!
Will this be available for China Mobile subscribers in Pakistan?
aka ZONG
Hot damn! This is some serious business. LUMIA aftermarket is gonna be huge
Is this the reason why the Nokia stock went up?
This, and the news from many other carriers getting the 920.
The operator boycott that Tomi Ahonen preaches of is in full effect it seems.
U never know under what conditinos this is gonna happen.
also the chinese company,Goophone said they patented iphone 5′s design and they will sue if apple sells iphone in china
I read about that. Is that even legal?
Probably not, but who cares. It’s Chine for crying out loud.
actually could be,china is closed market and they have different rules in there.
not many chinese people use CMCC’s TD-HSPA network
I tweeted this information last week, https://twitter.com/hasasimo/status/244151363876057090.
Along with plenty of other Lumia information:

“The carrier said subscribers in March rose to 667.20 million, more than twice the population of the United States, including 59.56 million 3G subscribers.”

hmmm but Lumia is quite weak for competitive China market with all those troubles about windows unfortunately. Previous Lumias has shown limitations already. In many aspects like quality, system, weak software (but in great numbers but quite a few interesting) languages, only MS services allowed etc.etc. In my opinion this is only marketing noise. Product is at is, all can see.
