I was wondering that some news sites as well as blogs were reporting that the BlackBerry gets green light for China. Well guys, the BlackBerry has been in available in China Mainland for several months already. Below you will see a map of China and the cities where the BlackBerry and BlackBerry services are available for quite a long time already.

The list from top down of the cities reads as followed: Beijing (åŒ—äº¬), Tianjin (å¤©æ´¥), Nanjing (å?—äº¬), Shanghai (ä¸Šæµ·), Hangzhou (æ?å·ž), Guangzhou (å¹¿å·ž).

Pricing at China Mobile:
398 RMB, 50M GPRS/ month
598 RMB, 400M GPRS/ month

There’s confirmed roaming coverage ( http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-network/6141-bb-china.html ), but how long have you been able to sell BlackBerrys in China? Source?

[...] Short introduction: For 10 years Hong Kong belongs to China again. Therefor, there are a lot of advantages in that area. It is a so called “special administrative region” of the People’s Republic of China with a population of about 7 mio. people. The market is completely encapsulated and nearly the most (financially) liberal place on earth. Hong Kong’s economic power is mostly built on import/export and financial businesses. [...]

You can get 50M download via GPRS for 20RMB/month here via China Mobile.

It’s easy to enable, just ask for ‘bao yue WAP fuwu’ (pay-per-month WAP services) and they’ll show you the list of options. There are also lower options (5RMB/month, etc.).

I never used a blackberry or even saw one but from what I hear its just a regular email client via GPRS… why this stuff is news i dunno
