I would not pay  400rmb  to add anything to my phone....the only thing I bought for my phone was a phone case a hard case to protect it and that was less than 100rmb.

no, most people enjoy useless slow mobile data. oh wait, not they don't 

 

Mobile data in China is generally artificially high compared to other counties. If you factor in wages, then mobile data is mainly usable to the upper class in China, a factory worker would not fork out that much extra, they will stick with basic phone services. The customer density should make it possible to make a profitable network at way lower cost than what we see today. 

In China people are using their Smart Phones for QQ, in the rest of the world, online streaming of music and video is already widely used, and of course the Chinese will eventually be able to stream their favorite propaganda directly to their phone while sitting on a bus.

That being said, LTE is here to stay, until LTE Advanced is rolled out, then the successor to that, then another successor etc. 

Scandinavian:

and no, I would not pay 400 extra for this, I want a 50RMB mobile package that includes some hours of talk time, a couple of GB of data per month.

i pay 10rmb each month for 100Gb data, mostly enough, because is very slow here, as i do not access single one chinese website from phone. so its take time to load pages, but i happy in the metro for it. better than watch metro TV or 3.498 people stacked around you Laughing out loud

but don't know, how it will be with LTE. I am planning leaving soon this country, so i will not go in Smile

let me clarify a little bit~

 

I'm going to purchase the new Samsung Galaxy Note II phablet. I intend to buy it at the Samsung shop at Harbor City in Hong Kong. They charge roughly 700hkd more for the LTE capable model vs. the model that doesn't carry the LTE chip.

 

I was just trying to figure out if LTE will be upgraded anytime soon and this current LTE chipset be about as useful as a VHS player...

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
