Which Blackberry?

Fancy a Blackberry but not sure which one. Thing is, i am PYG and can't afford the 9700.

Under £200 is what i have to spend. Any help would be great. Thanks

Been looking on the bay but i really don't trust buying anything off of there!!

lazer46 · 3 Jul 2010 at 15:18

Yea, would love to buy one but can't afford the shop prices!!

Blackberry Curve 8900.

Is that a good buy?

lazer46 · 3 Jul 2010 at 22:44

Is the 8900 a good buy at £150?

lazer46 · 3 Jul 2010 at 23:04

It is apparently BNIB so anyone else with some remarks?

lazer46 · 3 Jul 2010 at 23:30

But 8900 BNIB a good buy at £150?

lazer46 · 3 Jul 2010 at 23:51

lazer46 · 4 Jul 2010 at 15:05

So, which do i go for? Can't afford the 9700. Between the:

9000
8900
8520

Help!

Is it much bigger?

lazer46 · 5 Jul 2010 at 08:52

What what you say is a good price for a mint 2nd hand 9000

I may be having a rethink about the Blackberry! To use it to its full potential i see one has to purchase a data plan.

Now, what other phone, with similar spec to the Blackberry, around £150, would be another alternative to look at?

lazer46 · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:18

I am on PAYG.

Why is it definitely needed then?

Any other phone that has similar spec and not too dependant on a data package?

lazer46 · 5 Jul 2010 at 10:32

£180? You can buy them for £140.

Does one really need a data package when buying a blackberry? It can be used like any other mobile right?

Yep you need a blackberry internet plan which gives you push email and internet access...without that the BB is just a phone for calls, texts and nothing else...you would be better off getting something cheaper if thats all you want ie texts and calls.

My blackberry plan with Tmobile costs me an extra £5 a month so its not exactly a bank breaking type of charge.

Some mate i know have blackberry phones but they don't have any data plans! What exactly does the plan allow you to do? Is it just internet? What about apps etc?
