I was at PhoneHouse, not my favorite  . He said things like €450 deposit because you are not Dutch 
Best idea is to take a friend to some shop and let them find out. Take some time for it

Welcome to NL, hope you'll enjoy your stay here !
Oh, and watch out for pickpockets in Amsterdam, especially, when it's busy on the streets and in the shops !

You mean the prepaid (PAYNGO) BlackBerry simcard ? The prepaid BlackBerry Blox (free till 31.12.2010, later 12,50/month) include the complete BlackBerry services, with internet.
You'll receive a total of 10,- euro credit on the new simcard, which you can use for texts and/or calls. The amount of 5 euro is already on the card, the other 5 you'll receive a few days after registering with name and address as a new user on their NL website.

Sail'10 party's will be at "Javaeiland" (java island)
Let of know if or when you want to visit the "Zaanse Schans" it's near my home
I think Vodafone may be the best choice.
