On the tour of the Hong Kong "electronics district" (Sham Shui Po) last night, at least one person purchased a new Android phone - given that Andrew Lih recommended the area I would expect this is the best place. It is five stops (but two line changes) from the conference venue (two stops to Kowloon Tong, two to Prince Edward, then one stop to Sham Shui Po.

One day before the main conference starts, my phone wont work any more. So I need to buy a new one. It doesn't need to be fancy, but it has to be Android based. Can I expect to get something for less than 1000 HKD? Any suggestions? Best MB-one

Sincere Podium is a great place for repairing the phone (especially iPhone Home Button) with cheap and reliable. Please note that some mobile phone's band frequency may suit for Hong Kong but not all the countries. 2013/8/8 Paul Selitskas <p.selitskas(a)gmail.com>

Yeah, the area around Mong Kok is quite populated with mobile shops. Can't say anything about low-end devices, but there should be a big variety of gadgets, so have a look. On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 4:51 PM, Rob Moen <rmoen(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:
