While the iPhone is expected to debut in Asia only next year, China's largest cell phone carrier is already in talks with Apple to bring the much-anticipated handset to the Mainland.
During a session with reporters at the GSMA Mobile Asia Congress in Macau, China Mobile's chief executive revealed that the company is currently having a dialog with the Cupertino company on its iPhone. However, he confirmed that the two parties have not come to any agreement as there are still revenue-sharing issues to resolve.
The Apple iPhone first launched in the US market earlier this year and was recently rolled out in Europe. So far, there's been no word on when exactly the device will debut in Asia come next year.

I heard that the asian iphone release would include the 3G capability, if so, it would be a "big bang" in the asian market.

Well, it's too early to tell. I hope it comes with HSDPA, rather than just 3G. That would certainly make a difference when surfing.
