Apple selling unlocked iPhone 3G in Hong Kong

Apple has made an unlocked version of the iPhone 3G available in Hong Kong, letting consumers pick whichever carrier they so choose.

This is in sharp contrast to Apple's policy for the almost everywhere else on the planet. Unlocked iPhones are rampant worldwide, but that is not something that Apple has sanctioned.

Freedom does not come cheap. The 8GB version is available for about US$695 (5,400 Hong Kong dollars), while the 16GB iPhone costs about US$798 (6,200 HK dollars), according to Apple's site.

The "iPhone 3G purchased at the Apple Online Store can be activated with any wireless carrier", the site states. "Simply insert the SIM from your current phone into iPhone 3G and connect to iTunes 8 to complete activation."
