    Getting blackberry in Hong Kong

    Are blackberry phones in Hong Kong expensive? What's the range of prices varying? Is it possible to purchase one for under HK$2,500-3,000?

    BTW, I mean Blackberry Curve or Bold, not Torch.

    Unless you buy second hand. I bought a Bold for $2k.

    I have a blackberry and a nokia e72 (grrrr) .. I much prefer Whatsapp over BBM
    Whatsapp, while not perfect, connects you to all the major platforms (Symbian[hurry up and die], Android, iOS and even blackberry)

    Yes very popular with the business crowd. You can even start your own riots too.

    Everyone I know is on BBM so it will help me keep in touch with people back home.

    Im not sure if the business crowd will be up for a riot but I will try to get a broadcast going when I get there for us to get our hoody's on and cause some havok!!!
