Well, I made 7 trips to China in the last 5 years with side trips to Japan, Singapore and Australia and always took my laptop. I have an iPhone, but it’s screen is just toooooo small. Never had any hard disk issues, but I prefer the laptop. If I had a ipad, that would be even better.

So much easier not to travel with one, especially internationally. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories, especially if you have an encrypted disk like many of are utilizing.

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?
