I'm using an MSDNAA version of windows XP, and it came with a serial and an activation code. So I can pretty much update anything I want through windows update.
Most likely not. Chinese telecoms run on the 1800Mhz band, not the 1900 american one.
They do start to use CDMA, but wheter this phone will be CDMA enabled or not, we don't know...
That's only for the comm. band. But also, Chinese power outage is 220V, and america's 110V, and so on...
Good luck if you want to buy this phone...
Well from my (limited) experience of China in both the cities and the countryside, I can tell you that the network is very good (the best I've seen yet, better than western europe's or america's), both in strengh (maybe the nodes are overpowered and present health hazard though) and in terms of the area covered (I was able to pass phone calls from "lost" parts of the great wall or from the middle of nowhere in the countryside).
If you add the facts that both phones and communications are quite cheap there, and that the chinese youth is hitting the market quickly and in great shares (even drawning their parents in), you can see (IMHO) that China _is_ the market of the future.

MSDNAA works too.
