The Apple Online Store Hong Kong is selling SIM unlocked iPhone 3GS for HKD 5,388 ($695 US) and HKD 6,288 ($811 US) respectively. That’s -HKD12 ($1.55 US cheaper) and +HKD88 ($11.35 US) difference to the iPhone 3G.
How many iPhone WiFi enabled 3GS will swim across the channel to the People’s Republic of China? Plenty! … Word to China’s MIIT – Issue a Network Access License to iPhone or you’ll soon have hundreds of thousands more non-WAPI iPhones in the mainland.


Are other phones sold in Retail Locations across HK unlocked or just from Apple Online store?
Dan, I heard that Apple Premium Retails stores across HK will be selling Unlocked versions of the 3GS, same as the Online Store. Is this right? Can i get one from the Premium Reseller?

I noticed a few more shops on the official apple site. Are they unlocked? Could you please confirm this to me, as I’l be in hong kong within a few days.
Thanks
