Recommend a Blackberry contract
Hi I'm wanting a Blackberry - so:
I don't talk much on the phone - this is far more for email access whilst on the road - a lot of the time - so I need an unlimited data add on / whatever. A Carphone warehouse rep told me that the t-mobile web n' walk was a bit shaky but couldn't really give me more deatils other than that I should go with o2, but o2 seems much more expensive.Can anyone help? TIA Peter |

TIA Peter Check out the website www.t-mobile.co.uk and have a look at what they do. Hope this helps. I'd avoid CPW at all costs if i were you, plus you get a better deal going direct. |

Tmobile Web n Walk is fine, and is the cheapest option.
Vodafone do a good option as well for about £35, check out www.vodafone.co.uk for the best deals. |

http://businessshop.o2.co.uk/tariffs...spx?groupid=23 at £12.77+vat on a 12 month contract and £57.75 for a BlackBerry 8700 is the best I've seen - 75 MB data allowance.

Yeah, it is poor value with voice too. Sorry to get your hopes up - I thought you were looking for email only. Nice as a Blackberry is, I'd still want to leave my email behind and just carry a phone so am not a fan of combined handsets.

flext 20 (15pounds per month) + blackberry (10 pounds) is a good option.
Unlimmitted blackberry + any combination of 300minutes and 600 texts is a good option. You don't need unlimitted data per se just unlimmitted blackberry data. Also there is the Nokia E61 from say 3. |

![]() I'm just a little confused about the Web'N'Walk. If I have the voice package (Flext 20 or 25), plus the £10 pm for Blackberry email (50Mb email and 3Mb browsing), I don't think I really need the extra £7.50 W&W. On my current phone (k705i) I don't do much browsng - just for football scores, BBC headlines and the occasional google. These prices are through theie website. Are there any cheaper places to go? |

It is the best phone contract that I have ever had (and I have had a few) I am on the Flext 20 + web 'n' walk and I pay £5 for the Blackberry (which is unlimited emails). I think I am right in saying that it is better to go for the web and walk for the unlimited browsing and just pay £5 for the blackberry.client, the way I have just read your post it appears that you will have limited browsing 3mb if you rely on the blackberry to do your web browsing as well as emails. I went for the 8700g Blackberry. |

You are right to be confused. i thought the BB pearl was 2G and therefor didn't work with WnW |

If you also download mini opera you can use that as your browser alongside the T-mobile one, Last edited by strawberry66 : 20-11-2006 at 11:24. |
