Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
Just how does "the weird and wacky copyright laws of Hong Kong" have anything to do with the iPhone 3G being available network-lock-free?
For those people who may be unaware of this, the iPhone 3G models being sold in Hong Kong are *not* locked out-of-the-box, or even after iTunes activation. This is a policy of the Hong Kong operator, Hutchison (aka 3 Hong Kong), who is exclusively selling the handset in the local market.
Therefore, to say this has anything to do with the local "laws" of Hong Kong is simply misleading, which are far from being "weird and wacky". I take great offence at such a statement, whatever tone or manner it may have been presented in - and I believe I speak for many people when I say this.
