So the iPhone 3GS goes on sale in Hong Kong tomorrow at 3’s shops. Here is the pricing plan for new customers, taken from 3’s web site.

The two lines in green are for existing customers who want to upgrade. Extend your contract by 12 months, no further details on pricing. So I called the hotline and they couldn’t tell me yet – they said they would call me back.
The HK online Apple store is one of the few, maybe only, places in the world to buy an unlocked iPhone (at full price) from Apple with no contract required. They have not updated their 3GS page yet. Perhaps 3 gets a small window of exclusivity before Apple puts it on general sale.
When I got my iPhone 3G a year ago, I did it at work via 3’s corporate sales and got a small discount. Trying to find out from that guy if the same will apply if I want to upgrade now. And again got a response of “will let you know.”
I’m really hoping to have one of these monsters in my hands tomorrow. The faster speed and the increased storage size are enough to make the upgrade worthwhile for me. My gf will get my iPhone 3 and I’ll sell off the iPhone 2 that I previously gave her.
