Yes, as long as you purchase the iPhone 3GS from an Authorized Apple Reseller.

Note that there are many telephone stores in Hong Kong selling non-HK versions, those are not “officially unlocked” by Apple.

Cool! I can sell it in Shampshui Po when the 3G S comes out.

BTW will it come out in Hong Kong this month?

The day before the WWDC keynote I checked the street price of the iPhone 3G 16GB and it was between HKD3000 – HKD4000 but that was with a phone buyer that I am familiar with. Which means the resell price from a private sale was around HK4800.

Now that the price of the iPhone 3G 8GB also dropped to HK4288, our iPhone 3G 16GB may be around HKD4500 depending on condition and whether there is still AppleCare.

4xxx is ok for me. I am just wondering whether I can sell my 3G. It is too expensive for wife to play games.

I don't really care for 3 HK's, Customer Service or their network quality.

You may be correct about the iPhone 3G S going straight to Apple Online Store HK, but it should also be available to its Authorized Resellers throughout HK.

Due to the nature of mobile phone businesses in HK, it will most likely be a "SIM unlocked" iPhone 3G S. Although, since it will not have a mobile carrier to subsidize the phone it will be at the previous HKD4xxx.00 and HKD5xxx.00 price range.

You should check out my latest post on deciding whether you need to upgrade to the iPhone 3G S.

3 HK don't seem to mention anything about the 3GS on their website and a friend of mine who dropped by a store said the staff didn't know anything about it. Perhaps they'll just keep the 3G on their service and the 3GS will go straight to the apple store, unlocked. I'm hoping so anyway – plus it does so 'coming soon' on the apple store. Fingers crossed anyway!

$4288 is still too much for me, but I'm gonna get it anyway.
