Faced with difficulties of finding a suitable local operator in HongKong, Apple decided to sell its iPhones desimlocked at its Apple Stores in HongKong.
The 8 GB sells at approximately 480 and 16 GB, 550. To activate them the customers has nothing more to do than to take them out of their box, put a SIM card into them and to connect them with their computer.
Of course, they will have to manage to find a data subscription and they will not have access to the visual voice email.
Since we are talking about the iPhone, a site called http://www.iphoneideal.com/ proposes like its name to make suggestions on what would be an ideal iPhone. If Apple has no chance to listen to them, developers of software could be inspired by their suggestions.
