3G I can do without, seeing as how it is not yet offered in my area. However, I am not so sure I could stand the iPhone without WiFi. That is what China is doing.

Customers looking to purchase a iPhone 3G in China will soon be able to do so - Just a little catch though, minus the 3G and WiFi.

China Mobile does not have a 3G network so I understand them asking Apple to disable 3G but going a step further asking to disabling WiFi as well? That perplexes me.

That leaves all of the owners of the iPhone 3G with just a 2G data connection. Not cool.

Then I did some more thinking, how could they exclude these features from the iPhone? Then I realized through software, so there is still hope for hackers to unlock WiFi, which I am pretty sure will be done.

Does anyone know why China would disable WiFi?
