Prepaid Sim w/Data plan for BLACKBERRY in Hong Kong?

So i have been reading and searching, but can't seem to find this answer. Is there a mobile company that i can buy a prepaid sim card plan for my 9700 or 9800 to use in Hong Kong? I will be there for about 2 months. And i can't open a monthly service plan since i dont have an HKID.

So i need a voice plan with data? Anyone have any info on this?

And is it possible?

This may be too late for a response but China Peoples Mobile has unlimited phone data for $78HK a month (~$10CAD). It worked on both my Mobilicity galaxy S and my friend's fido Blackberry so it probably would work for yours too. Best to ask them to try out one of their sims on your phone first though.

The only issue is, and I don't know if it's because of frequency incompatibility or if that's just the service they provide, the speed is only 2g, (~0.15Mbs?) so it's quite slow. If you're willing to put up with slow loading pages and most likely no youtube or any other video streaming for that matter, it's a great deal and has saved my ass plenty of times (google maps).

$338 HKD per month for unlimited data. ~$42CDN a month.

try researching pccw mobile, china mobile, one2free, csl or vodafone.

If you don't need 3G, peoples has unlimited EDGE service $78 a month, or $9 a day, or $38 a week.

They even allow tethering on this service, and you will average about 30-40kb/s
Their voice starting $48 @ .12 cents a minute.

all prices in HKD.

Also, there is no prepaid BIS in HK AFAIK
