Mobile handset makers hoping to sell 3G phones to China's 455 million mobile phone users may be forced to wait until 2008, according to local media reports.

One recent survey showed that almost 80 million mobile users in China are ready to switch to 3G, but that the government is preventing 3G network operators from rolling out services.

Local and foreign firms including Nokia, Motorola and Sony-Ericsson could be affected by changes to China's 3G schedule.
