I'd like some of that money...
From a U.S. News & World Report article on May 1, 2006:
"There are 400 million cellphone users in China, and, on average, they replace their phones every three to six months. Consumers in China can choose from something like 900 different models, compared with only 80 or so in the United States. Companies like Samsung offer a new handset model in China as often as once a week. In India, mobile phone subscriptions are growing at a rate of 4 million new subscribers a month."

900 Models?!?!?! I'm a sales rep and I cringe at the memorizing profit margins. I couldn't imagine how a tech would feel.

Dude, that's a whole lot of specs to remember. I have a hard enough time with my 20 or so models.
