SubscribeThe news is out! The new iPhone 3GS will be available come this Friday, July 10th, at 3 HK stores. I’m not sure if we’ll see the Apple online store and authorized Apple resellers across Hong Kong carry the new phone on that date (it’s not out now at midnight) Now available online. 3 HK will continue to be the sole provider of the iPhone which I am sure many are disappointed - I’ve heard nothing but bad things about them like poor service and cheating users of their cash with their iPhone app.
I skipped the math on the plan, but by glancing over it, it’s a welcome mat for 3 HK to rape you (I’m sure that’s true with AT&T in US too), it always is. Lucky for people in Hong Kong, Apple store will eventually sell the iPhone separately. If you are current users, I’d suggest against upgrading with 3 HK just so you can get the 3GS (I’d expect to see it online in about a week’s time, don’t quote me though). Instead, shell out a bit more and get the phone by itself, so you don’t get tied down with a 2-year contract, unless I mean you enjoy their service then by all means. Be sure to read the fine print so they don’t screw you over.
There’s no word on the price of the standalone phone, but if Australia is any indication, the price will remain the same as the iPhone 3G, which is around HKD$5500-$6400 (approx. $700-$850USD) for 16GB and 32GB respectively. That’s a lot of cash for a friggin phone, not to mention the games, apps, music that you end up purchasing during ownership. But, knowing how people in Hong Kong go through phones like they go through toilet paper (I’ve heard lifespan for mobile phones for the younger demographics is around six months), the iPhone 3GS will likely be a hit in Hong Kong, again.
The iPhone 3GS is calling me and I will soon be a iPhone virgin no more. Will this be the best $700USD I’ve ever spend? iPhone owners please tell me.
