If you can't get your goods into China via the front door, there's always the back. Apple is now selling its iPhone 3G unlocked via its on-line Apple Store in Hong Kong. The 8GB model sells for HK$5,500 (about US$694) or HK$6,200 (about $797) for the 16 gigger. Already available since July 11th with a local Hutchison Telecommunications contract, this is the first time that Apple has sold its device unlocked in Hong Kong
So is Apple trying to simply run a back door into China, or is this an experiment they are running for the post-exclusive world? I hope it's the latter; heck, I still hope they'll do a deal with Verizon and make a CDMA enabled iPhone :)
