Will iPhone (mobile) work in Hong Kong?
Yes and No. Yes, it should work in Hong Kong because mobile carriers in Hong Kong supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE (for EDGE, only HKCSL and PEOPLES). But network equipement from different vendors have their own proprietary changes and settings which may not be compatible with all mobile devices. Apple should test and adjust the mobile setting on iPhone in order to make iPhone works against different networks. Otherwise you will experience call drops and inefficient data transfer over GPRS/EDGE. No, it may not work in Hong Kong because the iPhone is currently exclusive for Cingular. It should have SIM lock enabled. So it can only use Cingular SIM. Unless you have the unlock code from Cingular to disable the SIM lock otherwise you can’t use it in Hong Kong. • Will iPhone have a UMTS/HSDPA model? I don’t know. But there are rumors that Apple is developing a UMTS/HSDPA model according to Gizmodo (1). If Apple wants to make iPhone successful in Asia (esp. Japan) and Europe, UMTS is the way to go. •
