Buying a phone in HongKong

whippet · 2007-01-08 11:34:54

I am heading to Hong Kong in a few weeks, and was thinking of buying a new phone .. a model that you probably wouldn't get here! As I know close to nothing about phones can any one offer any advice ... what would I need to look out for ?

I bought an n90 last year in Bangkok, long before it was release in Europe. You can haggle - don't forget that much, and don't forget to make sure it's Sim Free, last thing you want is buying a top of the range handset, finding out it's locked to a Japanese Network, and no one here having the expertise to unlock such a recent phone.

I suppose you will have a mobile with you, otherwise bring an irish sim with you to check that the phone will recognise/work with it.

🧐IMHO, God wants us all to ENJOY many,many ice-creams , 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦
