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

Did you notice - ANY GSM CARRIER and now with home activation?

HELLO T-Mobile this iPhone is for you!

And Boy Genius has the rumor Wal Mart will sell the iPhone starting
11-15-08

Oh and Radio Shack, no iPhone for you.

AT&T PRICE INCREASE?

AT&T drops the old $20 flat rate Media Net including Unlimited text
messaging for the iPhone the same day or a couple of days before -
connection?

And it's $800 US for the 16GB version. Still, if you want an iPhone to
use mainly the WiFi, on T-Mobile or on prepaid, you now have an option.
Add about $1000 for a r/t ticket.

I'm in Hong Kong right now so I can save the price of the ticket, but
I still can't quite bring myself to pay $800 for the phone.  Maybe next
year...

Hmm...240ms from here....pretty fast!

I did a traceroute to your IP.

Is the economy trashed there, too?

Not quite yet, outside of the stock market, but I think that might
be just a lag spreading to here rather than any sort of immunity.  We
do know where a lot of the money which was borrowed to fund all those
currently-valueless CDOs came from.

A little recession here might be okay if it reduced the crowds
a bit in the many fine restaurants they have here, though.

Thanks.  I've been many places on the planet but that isn't one of them.  
Most of my travels have been to the Middle East....Iran, Bahrain, Qatar,
UAE.  It's unfortunate I'll never be able to return, especially Iran.  
Fascinating country and simply HUGE!  I got to fly with the Iranian Air
Force.  We were in the electronic snooping business (SIGINT/ELINT) under
the Shahanshah in the 70's, leaving 28 days before he did.

The Army boys even let me drive one of their huge Russian tanks...(c;

Too bad Israel makes everyone hate us now....

I'd love to spend a month touring the canals of rural England in a
diesel longboat before I die....(c;

===================================================================

I was at the City Marina in Downtown Charleston, today.  Even at the
highest priced gas pumps in the state, they were selling regular gas for
$2.99/gallon, now!  The revaluation of the fake dollars is quite
uncanny!

I hope you're enjoying a little more value to your Federal Reserve
private bank banknotes, too, over there.

Have a safe journey....
Larry

All the prices should start to crash very soon....including iPhones if
you want one.  "Patience, my son, Patience!"
A brand new Cadillac/La Salle during the last depression was $1295 in
1938...a really huge car.  Gas was 12c/gallon to feed it, too.
Those that kept their money, themselves, did very well, indeed.

Sorry to disappoint you Larry, but it's in the heart of a business and
hotel district. I used to work for a company with its HK offices in
Miramar Tower, which is a couple of minute walk from that restaurant. My
colleagues knew all the good and relatively inexpensive restaurants in
that area. I thought it was pretty funny that the English name is
"Gatorfan" since I am a Gator fan.

If you eat too many won tons you will turn into a one ton.  ;-)

You mean, aich tee tee pee colon slash slash store dot apple dot com
slash hong kong slash browse.....

As in the Hong Kong Apple Store?

Vic, just what are you trying to prove?  That Mac fanbois like you are
total and complete morons?  That you're the KING of the moron fanbois?

You said that "the APPLE WEB SITE" is offering an iPhone that can be
activated with any carrier.  Someone corrected you and said "it's the
Hong Kong store, stupid"--to which you respond with the above,
confirming that it's the Hong Kong store and showing how idiotic you
were to begin with?

So it's not the "APPLE WEB SITE" at all, since Apple has MANY web sites
around the world.  there is no single "APPLE WEB SITE".

So what were you trying to prove with all this, anyway?

  I think he wanted to prove that people in Hong Kong aren't stupid enough
to put up with what AppleT&T makes US customers put up with.

But they pay a lot for that privilege. Actually, iPhone sales have never
really taken off in Asia. People prefer more fully-featured smart phones
even though those phones that aren't as slick as the iPhone.

It clearly says on October 12, 2008:

iPhone is only for use on AT&T’s network.

1.  Apple HONG KONG website.

2.  $700 for 8GB based on current exchange rate.

3.  So this is how a store I walked by in NYC was selling unlocked 3Gs.
