Taiwan Gets Unlocked iPhone 3G

Folks in Taiwan should be rejoicing, as the iPhone 3G will be available in Taiwan unlocked. The phone’s carrier in Taiwan, Chunghwa Telecom, does insist that the iPhone 3G will only function on its network, but to be honest, if the phone is an unlocked version, then it should work on any other carriers’ network, though it will not be able to access Chunghwa Telecom’s Hami services. While this might be an interesting bit of news for people scouting around for an unlocked iPhone 3G, you might want to remember that contract-free versions of the iPhone 3G are quite expensive, with the 8GB and 16GB versions going for $800 and $900 respectively.
