Just asked around the nearby China Mobile stores, they don't have any sim cards for sale that can handle 3G.
I use mobile data both personally and for work.
Where do I get a good sim card with 3G capability for my phone?

China Telecom and China Mobile's "3G Service" require their own handsets as they use a different frequency set than Operators outside of China
Unfortunately, NONE OF THESE SO CALLED 3G services are even close to Edge or EVDO speed in the real world.
I am using Unicom now and its horribly slow and problematic and very expensive comparably.
I used 2G for 3 years with China Mobile and see no significant difference other than a huge difference in price.
When I do roam in HK on Unicom's 3G it is as fast as US speeds.

However the 3G Service is pretty good
