Yeah, it's totally to do with the Chinese market. SE has no phones with 4 in it either.
Have you ever wondered why at Chinese restaurants, why they always give you three of an item of food. Never four.

not really.
what percentage of the worlds population is chinese?
if we go along the idea that the worlds population is give or take 60billion and according to cia.gov the population for china in 2006 in a shade over 1.3billion. so by my maths i make that one in every 45 people is chinese.
you dont wanna be annoying them do you!

cia.gov puts the world population at Approx 6.5 Billion, not 60 Billion.
That makes the chinese 1 in approx 6.5 or round up or down as you please.

what a lack of business and cultural awareness...yes it is because of the chinese market.
If i'm not worng and please correct me if that's the case, i think the number 4 in chinese sounds awfully like death or something like that and therefore is a number to avoid.
Im sorry but it is true more than one in every 6 people in the world is chinese. Even if the number of people in china who can afford a mobile phone is not more than one billion, the market is still hugely influential for most of the manufacturers to piss off the chinese by seeming to lack cultural awareness...
Just as a side note, the biggest mobile company by number of subscribers is China telecom...if that doesn't prove that the chinese market is important, then i don't know what will...
