Exactly. 4 and death in Chinese are near identical in sound, so that's why it's so unlucky.
And it's such an easy thing to avoid anyway; just change the model numbers. I don't see what the big fuss is.

I have a CHINESE-blood . . . now I know why there's never a 4 in almost any brand of merchandise sold out in the market . . . I don't even see a 4 -series Bimmer and perhaps even a - 6 one
The number - 8 is LUCKY in Chinese . .. now I know why the 8-series model fones of Nokia are soooooooo expensive during it's INITIAL release, specially those metal-plated: 8850, 8855, 8890, 8800 (not the 8210 and 8250 though . . . .)

@shali - For all I KNOW of dude . . . the #8 is the LUCKY one in - Chinese . . . that's why the MOST saleable CAR PLATE at my end usually are those with number ending in TRIPLE: 8 or 7 . . . say like: XXX 888 or XXX 777. Though it has an extra US$ 300-400 charge . . . when I was looking for one . . . the ONLY remaining that I have to choose on are either: 666 or 999 . . . why the hell should I be gettin' the - 666
! Car plates at my end can be personalized too . . . 3-letters for your names initials (2nd one is your maiden name).
Yup, and I agree that the world's population is - 6B and NOT - 60B !
This case can be connected with that on the ELEVATORs too . . . there's NO 13th FLOOR on it . . . UNLESS, if the building has only - 12 FLOORS and the numbering will END at the . . . 12th floor !

Well Nokia would have made a conscious decision to do this. And as I said, it's not very hard to implement. There's no harm done either, so it's just very very simple marketing.
@*jojo*
Nup it's nine
