What you will have seen in Hong Kong would have been GSM phones - not
Japanese phones as they don't work in Hong Kong.

Having said that, there are a very few Japanese GSM phones for export, but
not particularly successful, and there is one multi-standard Japanese CDMA
phone (from Sanyo) that also works with Hong Kong's CDMA and is therefore
available there. Still, the phones you will have seen in Hong Kong would
have been GSM phones, mostly of European make.
