Post subject: How to Sell a Brand New Blackberry in China?

My husband bought me a Blackberry from Hong Kong as a surprise. While I appreciate his intent, unlike him, I am really really not a Blackberry fan. So, it has been sitting inside the original box for half a year now. I am thinking of selling it in China. But my first question is: will someone in China be able to use my Blackberry bought in Hong Kong? (My husband said my Blackberry requires connection service from Hong Kong.)

Also, where and how can I sell it?

Appreciate your help. I am more than a bit confused about this matter.

They're cheap as anything here. What model? Pearl?

Check taobao.com for current prices (search for 黑莓 - black berry)
eg

I bought my 7xxx series last year for 500rmb, sold it for more to someone in Paris who needed Japanese support.
You CAN get Blackberry service here, but its too expensive to be worth it. Its cheaper to get a card in HK and use it roaming. Which says something about China Telecom's commitment to it...
