Hey,

I am new to Blackberry actually and I would like to learn more about the device. Basically, if the mobile does not have the services, it can still function like a normal cellphone with the SIM card, right?

Which provider would you recommend - Celcom or Maxis? I use the latter provider and I am considering to get a Blackberry. Is it possible to also get the device from a third party and are Blackberries like iPhones - for example, it depends on the countries the machine is bought from to be unlocked?

Is it possible to get a Blackberry under installment ( just asking because there are times people offer installments for devices ) and how much can a user do with the Blackberry services besides the usual email checking and whatnots?

Thanks for the help guys! Appreciated.

im currently using bb curve 8900, its a good device for email and texting and also for entertainment. Im using t mobile us set. I use digi now. It's better gor you to get from digi becase they got the data plan for rm 63 per month, If you get the set with the data plan, you can use your bb to the fullest.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I will check Digi out for the services.

Digi only for corporate users now leh ...

I think give them another few months and i will GTFO from Maxis if they have the unlimited 68 bucks for normal users...

Approximately how much data usage per month - to check emails, go online and the usual whatnots?

Hmmm ... For me i receive quite a bundle of emails but i only receive the subject and not the content ....

if the content is urgent or must read then i will download ....

BB IM mostly wit my gf / friends / conference and sending spam vids, pics and voice ...

MSN ... sometimes coz most of the time i am infront of the PC.

Viigo - RSS reader to read news ...

errr I am using 5MB plan RM40 wit Maxis ... never exceed before lo ...

no idea why ... i wanna try to exceed it but cant ... maybe i should watch youtube ... hehe

Lol!

So, basically, the 5MB plan is good enough if not a heavy usage? I am thinking about the plan because the device is way cheaper with the plan ... Mmm. Still thinking.

yeah from what i know digi only provide package for corporate user only.
im using maxis unlimited package as for now.cost u rm120.
but so far using javelin with those package.i have no problem with the internet connection at all.frequently received email fr 4-5 email ac.ym and fb on all the time.msn and bb im with friends.viigo and youtube as well!
