Yeah, but I'm happy to carry two, as are alot of business users.
Plus, it's far cheaper for me. I can't afford to buy a BB outright, and as much as I love mine, I don't want to give up a normal phone just yet. I'd rather text with a phone keypad, and reply to the odd e-mail with my BB.
Although having said that, I use symbols quite alot in texts and the BB is proving very good for that, so who knows...

Rumor has been going around that a 3rd party company may allow for a PAYGO Blackberry email support. This would be VERY interesting; but not sure if RIM would go for it. Who knows. Ask around.

PAYG BB would suit me fine, hope its true?

Silly question time:
What does it mean when your blackberry is unlatched?
Posted by Nanu
In order to receive emails the BB's PIN is latched to a network.
To unlatch it, is to disassociate the PIN with that network, It doesn't involve any cost and can be done within minutes so doesn't normally cause any problems!

Just been into my local O2 shop to query the price of the 8310 on blackberry and was told that you can have the phone free on 12 month tariff for £15 a month (as already discussed) but only £10 a month on a 24 month contract. Basically all they charge you for is the blackberry bolton.
Posted by Daedalus85
Well, thats the first I've heard 24 months come into the equation.
I know for certain, to business customers (or personal customers if you fake being a 'sole trader') it's £15/month 12 months.
Posted by Daedalus85
Whoops! Just heard from a collegue down the road in our other shop that what I did (getting the handset free on BlackBerry only) was wrong, and even if the tell says free, aparently we can override it :/ Never mind lol
Posted by jcwhite_uk
Does anyone here know for sure how much Blackberry would cost to add onto my Flext 25+web and walk plus tariff on T-Mobile?
I have asked T-mobile and had three different answers:
1st: We can activate it tonight and it is free on my tariff
2nd: You will need to change to flext 25 +web and walk plus with blackberry for no extra a month but it wont happen until my next billing date 3 weeks away.
3rd: basically the same as the first but it will cost an extra £5 a month.
I may try again in the morning and see what they say.
Posted by Nanu
I believe it to be a fiver a month extra mate and they can activate it Immediately!
Posted by jcwhite_uk
If I go onto my T-mobile (manage my account from their website) I can add "mobile email" for free. Dont know what they mean by mobile email though.
Also noted that on their website if go for flext web and walk with blackberry it is £2.50 a month cheaper than just flext web and walk. Its cheaper to get a contract with blackberry activated.

Indian government already rules against the necessity to have providers "snoop" into all emails for Indian BB users.
No ban on Blackberry services: Govt
http://www.rediff.com/money/2008/mar/14black.htm
[color=red]Rediff India Abroad[/color]
[quote=] Amid the raging controversy over Blackberry operations by mobile service providers, the government on Friday ruled out banning the service but said security aspects would be looked into.
"We will discuss the issue with the Telecom Commission... the country's security is of paramount importance," Telecom Minister A Raja told reporters on sidelines of a function.
The government is in discussion with the cellular operators like Bharti Airtel [Get Quote], Vodafone Essar and Reliance Communications [Get Quote] and the issue would be resolved soon.
Telecom Secretary Siddartha Behura said, "We are keen to resolve the issue at the earliest but there is no question of banning the Blackberry services."[/quote]

Good news TMag! Finally ... is HTML email support still within this build? I heard rumor that it was pulled (or was this for BIS)?
Posted by Daedalus85
From what I've read, it's going to be:
-HTML e-mail
-spell check for those that don't already have it
-Video recording for Curve's
-Microsoft Office editing on the go
-Youtube streaming
And a few other things too.

If you buy a used BlackBerry is the handset unable to use BB connect as the pin will have previously been registered to the former owner?
Posted by Nanu
the pin is unique to the handset and will be unlatched from the network when the user registers another BB or closes their account or simply requests it unlatched.

EDIT: I just reread what you typed. You're CORRECT when the ORIGINAL owner of the BB registers a new unit the previous PIN is freed. Just make sure the previous unit is not still enabled with a BES Policy.

A good friend of mine recently moved from his N95-1 to a BB Curve 8310 and must say its a great looking phone, UI is very easy to work with, typing a text is good on the qwerty keyboard although im not a fan of it and it's not bad at all at Multimedia, great job by BB
, i wouldn't get one though,just not what i need right now.

Ok guys BB talk is making me dizzy
need some advise I want to pick up a BB later today doesn't matter which network really want to spend about £40/month max incl of voice and text (ideally unlimited) saw some good deals from orange and 02 on an 8310 or 8320 but I hear the wifi makes no real difference on the 8320 for browsing pretty slow due to whatever the reason was
In an ideal world 3G would be lovely but the only 3G version I saw was some old version on Vodafone or so I was led to believe.
Anyway guys thanks for the help.
