Just wanted to say hello. I got my first Blackberry, an 8707v, from neweggmobile.com yesterday. It replaced my Pantech C120. I'm currently using it on an AT&T Gophone plan. Sounds stupid, but I hardly ever talk or text on my phones, and after doing the math an actual plan is a big waste of cash for me. The phone is more of a toy, though from what I've seen it's great at talking and texting. Loud and clear, with a nice keyboard.
One thing though, I can't access Medianet with it. I've heard that I needed the Service Books, which I downloaded from
Black berry has a stand alone data plan. I'm not for sure but I think u need that specific plan to go online. As for iPhone go phone probably do not need a specific plan just pay for usage. I'm not sure. Call att or visit a store for a detailed explanation

Reason: spelling error
I purchased a 8707v not long ago and had huge drama with internet connections. I downloaded both desktop and handset upgrades to get the all important tcp settings. It was only after this was I able to install and use Opera Mini.
