blackberry and email plan
You know how verizon makes you sign up for an email/ data plan when u buy a blackberry?? If you get one through a third party and activate... would they still make you sign up for this plan?? Thanks.

The non corporate web and email plan is $29.99 and well worth it (if your company has a discount as many do, you can get a data discount as well). It gives you unlimited email (BIS), web browsing, downloading (Some Apps have purchase fees), etc as you wouldn't want to pay $1.99 per MB with a Blackberry. If you wouldn't be using those features then a Blackberry isn't the right phone for you.

This has already been answered by VZW611LA and vzwtechguy, but this is how I explain it to customers: as long as you use that phone on your line, you pay $30 a month (or more). The second you take that phone off your line, you stop paying $30/mo. It's that simple. The computer doesn't care where you bought it, it simply sees that you have it.

If by some chance you could get a blackberry activated without a data plan...you would receive no service books from RIM. Then you would call into tech support to inquire why your email and web are not functioning and they would review the features on your mobile and ask you which data plan you would prefer. A blackberry without a data plan is like a car without wheels. What exactly is the point of having it without?

some people just want a great calendar and a great candybar qwerty.
Cell phone makers dont typically make a lot of candybar style qwerty phones...they are all sliders or flip up devices.
For a long time I wanted a blackberry with no data, just for the keyboard and calendar.

thanks for pointing that out... I pretty much want one for the calendar! Most phones have awful calendars... It would just be so convenient to keep track of everything on my phone!
