The iPhone 3G is now on sale directly from Apple in the city of Hong Kong, despite no prior announcements, listings reveal. An 8GB phone is selling for $5,400 HK ($692), while a 16GB model costs $6,200 HK ($794). Notably, iPhones in the region can be "activated with any wireless carrier," according to Apple, and require only that a carrier's SIM card be installed prior to sync with iTunes 8.

Re: Apple puts unlocked iPhone on sale in Hong Kong the hassle here will be the warranty where you have to send the unit back to HK. For those who regularly travel, this is no big deal for the convenience of having an openline iPhone.
Will this development open up the flea market again for iPhones in Manila? Globe may have to rethink it's Prepaid price again if the market gets flooded with these...MBox2 . M-Audio DX4 . PSR-2000 .

Re: Apple puts unlocked iPhone on sale in Hong Kong I'm sure eventually openline iphone 3g will be available here in the Philippines. And we are talking here of legally unlocked iphone. Thats where competition will heat up forcing the Globe to restructure their pricing at least on their prepaid units.

This is great news for non-Globe subscribers (like me!).Looking for more gadgets to buy.

Re: Apple puts unlocked iPhone on sale in Hong Kong I wonder though if it'll activate with telcos that are not in the iPhone's carrier list.
