Blackberry in China

I am moving to China (Shekou). I need to know if there is an ISP in China who will support Blackberry. My ordinary cell phone service is with China Mobil, but I am willing to change to a Hong Kong company if necessary.
In particular, I need a cell phone that will handle business email. Any advice?? If Blackberry does not work, does Palm 650 work?
Thanks!!

Hi David:
Thanks for your note. I have seen blackberries in Shekou, but I don't know if the service provider was local or if the person was on roaming status from elsewhere.
What model of Blackberry do you use? I can buy the unlocked 7290 for USD 350 but if there are better deals in Hong Kong or Shenzhen I will wait to buy it in Asia. Can you get corporate email in Hong Kong?
If anyone else has information on this I would appreciate your input!
Cheers!!

No idea if they support crackberries, but Sunday also do an unlimited GPRS plan for $168, with some voice thrown in...

As for the Peoples service, it's decent... connection is pretty reliable, although not 100%, it's dialup-type speeds, and I seem to get a fully-routed IP address, which can be nice if you care about that sort of thing.

Cheers

Cell phones are not cheaper to buy in China.
