Since quite a long time the BlackBerry service should be available in China. Right now it is possible to get a service plan as well as devices there.

Unfortunately, China Mobile (RIM’s partner in China) is only selling two old devices:

Obviously, you cannot buy - officially - other devices like the Pearl, Curve or one of the 8800 Series. Perhaps because some of them have a built-in GPS receiver and you can navigate quite well with them?

Moreover, it is very interesting that China Mobile’s BlackBerry 8700g looks pretty much like the BlackBerry 7280 (see screenshot below)
