Hey Jona, 

Yeah, you can get the regular BB features activated at China Mobile (try the bigger ones closer to areas with expats, they'll be more helpful). They call it the "Blackberry Package" or something along those lines. It's pretty simple to get done, but you'll have to register your phone or number first (i'm not sure which 'cause my Chinese is bu hao, but i know they registered something), and to do that you need to have your passport and that card your sim card came in (hopefully you've kept that). 

Hope this helps

The phone company should provide that service. If professionals aren't able to do it, it would be nearly impossible for you to do it yourself. Some smaller chain phone stores may not be able to do it so you would need to find a bigger one with the capabilities to do this. You will also have to see if the store your at deals with blackberries.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
