For months, Americans have been salivating over the features of Apple's new iPhone. Video, music, e-mail, web-browsing, photos - all on a touch-screen phone that runs the company's OS X operating system. However, one feature that was not advertised is the built-in social status that comes with owning the phone.
The New York Times tech reviewer David Pogue called the iPhone "one heck of a status symbol". PC Magazine echoed, predicting that "in every short order, the iPhone will become the ultimate cellphone status symbol."
In China, mobile phones come in all shapes, sizes and technologies. But in the US mobile phone markets, service providers usually only offer a limited number of phones to their customers. Those looking to buy unique or advanced models often have to buy phones from Asia.
