Are phones really that Cheap in Hong Kong?

Exit D2 at Mongkok, straight ahead of you will be a clothes shop called crocodile.

Cross over and keep on going, On the left hand side you should see a large shop called Gome, Carry on and cross the next road then turn left and its on your right hand side, Loads of mobile phone shops on the right, Go inside the glass doors and its on three levels, Any problems its known locally as Sin Tat.

The N95 8gb should not be any more than $4900.

thanks im about to leave now

Just one word of advice, best to leave the box the phone came in in HK. Take out the phone, charger and manuals, etc and put in your bag. Last thing you want is getting taxed going back into China

Yes, definitely, as in HK, no tax!! In China, 17-22% tax, my friend owned an Apple franchise store in China, they got the stock from HK also.

[imparanoic]

the place is called sin tat plaza (先達廣場), phones are possibly marginally cheaper within hk as there is no sales tax, but in china it's at 5 %

[reinkarnation]

plus in the mainland they usually strip off WLAN and 3G functions...
