In a very brief press release, 3 has announced that they will be bringing the iPhone to Hong Kong and Macau, two markets where as of now, the iPhone is not officially available. Of all the countries and territories that 3 has coverage in, Hong Kong and Macau are the only ones that 3 has been rewarded a contract to carry and sell the iPhone in.

“Hong Kong and Macau, 29th May 2008 - Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited today announced that it has signed an agreement with Apple

to bring the iPhone to Hong Kong and Macau later that year.” -Press Release

That is the whole press release. So there is quite a lack of details at the moment, but it has been assumed by some that that is the 3G iPhone. that would manufacture sense, as there are 3G networks in both locations, and why bring the original iPhone “later that year”, when there will already be an upgrade that makes the device old news.
