Yes, according to 3HK, its iPhone 3G sets are not network locked. You can use it with SIM cards other than the one provided by the operator.

However, 3HK doesn't sell pre-paid sets or standalone units, so you'll have to sign the two-year contract and pay the remaining months on the contract if you terminate it prematurely.
