Nokia is producing Windows Phone 7.5 smart phones for the Chinese market, according to Colin Giles, Global Head of Sales at Nokia. The smart phones will operate on China Mobile’s 3G network using the TD-SCDMA standard.

China Mobile is the world’s largest mobile operator and has more than 600 million users, the majority of which are still using the company’s GSM network. China Mobile is the only major operator whose 3G network is based on TD-SCDMA technology developed in China.
