Are you sure it is 3200HKD???? And it is 3G not 2G???

I went through the whole mall at mong kok and the cheapest I find is around 4300HKD.

3200 sounds too cheap to be true. Also the source of these US 3G iphones are also questionable since I thought there are no PAYG option in the US?

Anyway I bought my PAYG Iphone yesterday at the Regent Street Apple store for 391GBP.

I must say the Apple store people are full of shi*

Firstly they claim that I CAN'T put in my O2 contract SIM into the PAYG iphone (and tried to change the Celluar data settings to payandgo.o2.co.uk)
Secondly they claim you have to top up EVERY month for a minimum of 10GBP to keep the PAYG SIm active?

I have tested my Iphone with the O2 contract SIM and it works fully (WIFI, 3G)

As for the minimum topup, I have confirmed with O2 and they said u only have to make 1 call every 6 months to keep the PAYG active.

How come the Apple geeks don't even know what they sell (which is the reason I never want to change to a Mac)
