Definitely standard SIMs are available. You can refer to info I wrote in my report (excuse shameless plug on my own thread  ), where I went with the HKD 48 pre-paid PCCW 3G SIM from 7-11 at the airport that can be for smart phones taking standard SIM or microSIM.
As mentioned in my report, my original plan in HK was to get Three's HSDPA pre-paid because of the daily capped of costs for 3G data usage (max HKD 28/day). Whether or not this would suit your needs depends on how long you intend to be in HK. For my purposes, it was not suitable due to cost for microSIM, short stopover duration and lack of microSIM cutter (see report). You might also consider buying a microSIM cutter to use on their standard SIM. However, as someone mentioned in the Idle chat thread, you may need to pack this cutter into checked in luggage with the nail clippers - so this would have been useless in my situation unless I was willing to ask the airline to not automatically transfer my baggage to my outbound flight (and then I'd have the hassle of checking my luggage in again just for the microSIM cutter).
My sources if you want to verify my info 
- PCCW website
- Three's website
