11th floor windsor house in causeway bay - but they are all unsupported so if it goes wrong u will need to throw it in the bin coz apple wont touch it (coz it has not been formally launched in HK yet).

Just wait till it gets released here properly is my advice... loads of mates bought them and when they have done updates they don't work anymore or yo nee to take it to a special place to do the updates... hassle

lolz - cheffie don't do it mate, the forum zearch funtion can't handle all the complaints & questions that 'll rain down ...
windsor house is too posh - go to oriental188 on wan chai road and shop around. It's a very good idea to go there during lunch or in the weekend. it's nearly empty then
The regular WanChai computer shopping mall will also do
but, it's being launched in India by VodaFone - so it can't take too long any more

it's a piece of p**s now.
check out http://www.ziphone.org/
However, I'd wait. 3G iphone coming soon. And rumour is it will be official in June in HK on voda.

The more recent iPhone launches in Europe have NOT been tied to carrier so it looks like Apple will support both models now. I suspect that once it eventually gets here it will be open to all sim cards.
Also as sjaky says no point buying the current model as the new 3G one is just about to be released. The old 2G model is no longer available in the UK so this release looks like it will be imminent.

Yes, absolutely, if your life is given meaning by the ownership of branded consumer goods.

2hot>> faster data mobile data network. If you want to check the web when not on wifi, then I'd say you need it. web over 2g is a leetle bit slow.
hkbloke>> rumour I heard was locked to voda. But then HK was not one of the countries they announced recently, so could just be rumour.

Don't bother.

i reckon ur being a bit hard on the iphone... i've had mine since last Dec and it's by far the best phone i've ever had / used.... the input / user interface is excellent and generally very stable ... i've updated it twice now.... from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 to the latest 1.1.4 ...i use ziphone to unlock the sim for hk usage....
surfing the net is a breeze when ur out and about ... so i'm well chuffed with it.... i can get all my tunes on it and a few movies.... anyway just my opinion
when the 3G model is released i'll be buying one .....
