Unlike the 1st generation iPhone, there is still currently no software hack to unlock the iPhone 3G for use in regions other than the region the phone is registered in.

The only way around this problem at the moment is to use a hardware hack device know as a ‘region unlock sim’. There are currently plenty of these unlock-sims (brands) floating around: there are ones which retain all of the iPhone’s functions but requires you to cut a bit of your sim card (so they can fit together), and there are ones which spare you from cutting your sim but not all of the iPhone’s functions are retained.

Because of the ridiculously early flight back to Tokyo from Hong Kong, I had to leave the hotel at like 5:45am therefore I decided not to sleep at all that night.

Turned out I was only able to sleep for an hour on the plane and spent the following three hours with a splitting headache. Doh!

Anyway, to kill time that night, I decided to watch the late night screening of James Bond Quantum of Solace since the cinema was just downstairs from the hotel… and … this movie isn’t scheduled to start screening in Japan until the end of January 2009!

Due to the nature of my trip, I knew I wouldn’t have a great of deal of time to go around Hong Kong therefore I didn’t bring my Nikon DSLR with me, just my aging compact cam and my iPhone 3G. Speaking of the iPhone, I have a locked Japanese version but was able to unlock it for use in Hong Kong. I’ll let you know how that is done in an upcoming entry.

… between November 6th – 12th on an emergency visit. Had received a call from my cousin on November 3rd notifying me of my 92 year old grandmother’s deteriorating condition – the doctor said “we ought to be prepared for…”.

So, before I knew it, I had booked a plane ticket and arrived in Hong Kong 3 days later.
