My crazy company is providing me with a SIM card but no handset.
Where is the best place to buy a handset without a contract?

Any mobile phone shop 3G, Smartone vodaphone, CSL, PCCW even fortress and broadway.
It is often very difficult to see mobile phone shops here, I mean they are practically as rare as rocking horse poop.
I would recommend shops that sell parallel imports.
The gummint's working on this. We are getting more shopping malls.
There are a few at Peninsula Centre in East TST. The one I go to for handsets is called Ying Wui. Picked up a T-Mobile Blackberry 9700 for a friend the other day for HKD 3,650/-.
Go to Mongkok if you want a wide range of greymarket phones. Sin Tat centre. http://www.geoexpat.com/forum/thread74699.html
Lots of mobile phone shops in and around Apliu street Sham Shui Po and around the Argyle Centre in Mong Kok. You wont be disappointed, but make sure the phone has a decent Hong Kong warranty, and check the box before you leave the shop, that it actually does have the phone you bought, inside.
Like everything in life, caveat emptor....
