Hi all,

I was hoping to get some advice from seasoned Blackberry users.

I want to get a Blackberry to use in HK, China, and the US (for only two months out of the year). I've never used a blackberry before, but my email volume has reached new levels of intensity, and need it for work purposes. I don't really surf the net, so the BB will be used mostly for emails, reading attachments, etc (I've been trying to calculate how much MB on average, but not yet successful).

I've researched the various plans, and here is what I found:

BlackBerry Services_China Mobile Hong Kong
(this appears to give you good access in china, hk, and us at HK$888 per month, can get dual number sim for hk and china)

three.com.hk 3G 香港
(this appears to give you unlimited access in hk, and 10mb abroad for
HK$988 per month)

PCCW - Services and Pricing Promotion BlackBerry<SUP style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">®</SUP> Bold<SUP style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">TM</SUP> 9000
(this appears to give you unlimited access, but i think there is a
limit on the megabytes somewhere in the fine print..., but it's for HK$1038 per month)

I'm wondering if there are any differences between the carriers except for the price. Is anyone using any of these plans? Any pitfalls or unexpected things? I'd appreciate any feedback or advice from BB users in HK who have experience roaming in China and the US. Since I have never used a BB, I'm wondering whether I'm missing something when I'm evaluating these different packages.

Thank you for any input.
