Btw what other features were you referring to other than the regular ones? Has it anything to do with being on Smartone-Vodafone over Three? Thanks Vinko, your blog has been quite helpful.

It is indeed exciting, when mine arrived. It took me 3 days before I was able to use it for more than its regular features. Since I was just too busy with work.

Apple Hong Kong is using TNT to complete the hand delivery of each order, but you may want to check with your hotel to confirm that they are willing to receive delivery on your behalf.

PS: given that Apple's current estimate delivery period is “1 – 2 weeks” the longest period Apple Online Store has, it indicates that Apple inventory in the region are stressed.

Apple delivery times are fairly accurate, but as the web site say it is an “estimate”.

I bought mine on July 10th when it showed “24 hours” and I received mine on July 14th. That's 1 business day to process the order and 24 hours to deliver as Apple had stated.

A reader bought theirs this week when Apple Online Store showed “1 – 2 weeks” his Estimate Delivery Date on his order confirmation showed July 29th, which again is within the Apple estimate.

It looks like the iphone has jumped to 1-2 weeks on the Apple site. My friend is gonna be around HK for a couple of weeks, but I don't wanna order it and not have it delivered before my friend leaves. How's the reliability of these delivery times?

There are still no signs of when the Authorized Apple Resellers will be able to carry the "without contract" iPhone 3GS version.
