oh! just saw this thread again so i thought i would pop in to let you people know that thier have been other users who have flashed their phone and confirmed that my phenomenon is correct and that hong kong firmware does support both traditional and simplified chinese. by the way, why does everyone pm me to thank me?...using the thanks button will also be fine. haha! i guess they just to thank me personally =p anyway, i also read up on this method that you can extract font from a fimware that has japanese and then load it on to your phone ( i cant remember where i saw it, but its some where in topsony. maybe someone can direct you there).
