$12/day sounds a pricey. You should be able to get a rechargeable SIM in country. You'll need someone with some Chinese skills to help you deal with it, though, as I recall.

Thanks, all. So far it looks like my best option is purchasing a China SIM card and a $12/day unlimited 3G data plan for my (soon to be) unlocked GSM device. Not sure it's worth the expense, but since I'm not taking a laptop with me it may be my only choice. Roger Wright ___ If the universe is constantly expanding, how come I can't find a parking space?

I have a tourist trip planned for early November and would like to have data access on my AT&T Blackberry phone while in China. I don't need BB mail access or even cell phone, but would like to access websites and to use the Google Translate app while we're there. Is this feasible? Any recommended options?
