Hi guys, just fell over this blog whole looking for any news on iPHONE 3G in HK unlocked for another carrier.

I'm one of the many HKers that have either been waiting for a legal unlocked iphone or with a carrier of choice that will sell the iphone. Sadly as I see my favourite carrier PCCW (I use them for business and they are great), does not sell the iphone currently.

Despite 'pressure' to go with a jailbroken 2G, I have resisted so far. I don't really need the 3G fuctionality unless I travel to say Japan etc, it would be nice. HOwever my usage is 2G and web and mail and I would really like to have a phone that is 100% reliably integrated with my MAC.

So I see form this forum and some others that Hutchison are the only place to get the unlocked 3G iphone and at a hefty price. Additionally the hassle experienced from '3' from the poster on this forum with 3 confirms my very small experience in 2005 with Hutchison that they have inferior service and support. The comment that their sales and tech people are 'clueless' was me experience so I moved back 3 weeks later back to trusty PCCW CSL..

THe information to get onbaord with an iphone 3G unlocked using Hutchison is interesting but expensive as I guess they have to make money... but commercially for me is a waste of money... (sigh)

My roaming is world wide (job related) is large and my bills are always over $HK12000/month.

I also need to use some other simms as do mostof us when we travel. A stated earlier too, I agree that people outside of ASIA dont seem to understand the use of multiple simms for travelling in other countries...

In summary, I'd like to hear if anyone has some thoughts or news that PCCW or other carriers in Hong KOng or even Apple may sell the phone unlocked in the future.

It is sad that I have waited so long for the iphone and still I cant get into one.
