Hutchinson Whampoa‘s 3 Network really wants us all to take the 3G plunge by continuing to add more services to get the johnny-come-lately’s to join up! If you use 3′s 3G service you can use the 3G services in any country and pay as if you were in HK. It’s called the “3 Like Home” service and includes all SMS, MMS, video and data services – and most importantly all incoming and outgoing calls.
Most of us at Butterboom are still on the 2G trail since most of us haven’t seen the benefits of lugging around a giant phone that we can watch TV on. But with free roaming this might push us over.
More as it develops. Read more here.

We’ve been waiting and waiting for him! Well some of you probably found him for RMB5 in Shenzhen already because you couldn’t wait any longer, but finally it can be told: BORAT IS COMING TO HONG KONG ON FEBRUARY 1st!
The hit-movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (yes that is the full title) will be part of – get this – the Jewish Film Fest! If you have seen Borat then you know this is almost crazy as in the film he does ask a gun shop salesperson “Which gun is best to kill Jew with?”
There will be a sneak preview at Palace IFC on January 29th but if you want to laugh your guts out make sure you make a date with Borat. The official release date in HK for Borat is March 1st so if you can’t get a seat at the Film Fest you can wait another month for it to open in cinemas around HK or wait a little longer for the official US-release DVD that hits on March 6th.
