Officially unlocked iPhone 3G available in Hong Kong
This week, Apple have updated their online store for Hong Kong with iPhone 3G which isn’t availble before from Apple Store directly. 8GB iPhone at HK$5400 and 16GB iPhone at HK$6200.
What’s the best thing about this is the iPhone 3G is unlocked!!! It doesn’t bind you to any mobile operator!! Woohooooo!!!! Yes, it’s about time!!!
Update: HK$5400 and HK$6200 translate to US$675 and US$775 respectively. So iPhone doesn’t start at US$199 at all. Plus the 3G data plan will only satisfy you and make you happy unless you choose the most expensive “unlimited” access plan.
Such plan will cost roughly HK$500 per month from all mobile operators in Hong Kong. That’s US$62.5 per month and also requires at least 1 year of service committment if not 2 years.
All in all, the total cost of ownership for a entry “happy” iPhone 3G user will be
HK$5400 + HK$500 * 12 = HK$11400
And for the so-called “unlimited” access may not be truely unlimited as in common sense of any broadband users. There are terms like the mobile operator can cut you account or something like if your data transfer amount is huge. That’s such a lie for so much so “unlimited” access.
