I'm going to China (from LA) this summer and need a great tri-band phone to take with me. Will the T68 work? Can any Chinese users tell me if I could buy a prepaid card (with local number) to use with my phone while I am there? Can I access Internet with a prepaid card in China?
Thanks for any help!

Yes it will work and yes there is prepaid card... if you so happen to be in Hong Kong before going to China, you can also get the cards here so you will know the number of your phone before you leave China...

Yep, plenty of prepaid card here. Only I doubt if you can use them to dial up to the internet because they don't include a data subscription. I can try this for you, will keep you posted. Another thing that if it might work it is not possible to dial up over GSM to the internet. Here in Shanghai it only works when using 81890, for other dial up nimbers it doesn't work.
Where are you going in China?

Both the T39 or T68 would be a great phone to use for travelling.

I used a prepaid one in good old HK, New World Mobility was the network, great reception but it didn't mention anything about wap or gprs, don't think wap is too popular as there aren't too many cantonese/mandarin wapsites last time i checked.
GPRS, depends where in China, if you're in West Chine probably not, Bei Jing, Shanghai should have it. Even here in the UK you have to have a monthly subscription or contract, although a monthly charge is not neccessary and connection is free.
