I just got China Mobile's Edge set up on my iPhone today and I wanted to try to send a picture to Twitpic from it. I was basically asking for advice on which beer to pick; horse piss pijiu, cat piss pijiu, or skunk piss pijiu (pijiu = 啤酒 = beer). I sent the email at 2:14pm according to the email system built into my phone. Well, it is now nearly 3:50 and the picture has yet to reach Twitpic.

Well, I live in China and have quite a few Chinese friends and acquaintances, I can tell you, from what I've been told by them, that is all true. What gets me, they see nothing wrong with it.
