Default T-mobile plans and general carrier question

I should begin I suppose with what I am looking for, I am looking to buy my first blackberry (A blackberry curve 8320) and all I will use it for is internet, email and messengers (AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo) with maybe the rarest of phone calls when I am on the road (Not even on a once a month basis will I be using voice). I am of course hoping to get such features for as little money as possible but having a hard time figuring out who is best to go with, right now leaning towards T-mobile thus my next question.

Looking at the two BB plans offered by T-mobile I am quite confused. I will not need to access an enterprise email account, so I figured I would not need the enterprise plan, then I looked at the details in the FAQ (I cannot link to it since I am new here) and it says that while the BB unlimited enterprise plan allows internet access, the BB unlimited plan does not. Am I misreading, how can a plan that lists unlimited web browsing, not allow internet access? And if I can use normal Email accounts on the enterprise plan and get more features (like 300 messages a month) why would I ever spend the same amount for regular BB unlimited?

I am just plain confused as to my best option or carrier at this point, any help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Get the non enterprise BB data plan.

Sounds like you would be best served by the BIS unlimited data and email plan. You'll get email and web and laptop tethering. They have a cheaper plan with unlimited web and 400 messages, but it doesn't include email.
