I’m going to Hong Kong tonight. I last visited there six years ago. I’ll be back in Japan on Sunday, 6th.
Action items in Hong Kong: to get a SIM-lock-free iPad 2 and, if possible, an iPhone 4S in Mong Kok; to register a new address and passport number for my HSBC account; and to do some sightseeing in Stanley, Aberdeen, and Lamma Island.

The nearest DoCoMo Shop had informed me that a new BlackBerry device (BlackBerry 8707h) had arrived, so I went there this Monday and bought it. The handset cost 28,000 Yen. Very reasonable.
Setup is very easy. I keep three of my email addresses (including a BlackBerry-specific one) in this handset. I can catch incoming emails and reply to them, wherever I am. The key strokes are very comfortable. Even if you type long emails, your thumbs won’t get tired.
I’m not saying I’m completely accustomed to this gadget right now, but I will be soon. This must soon become the item that I can’t do without, as many Americans may think.
