Unlocked BB 9800 question
Hello,
My carrier, Vodafone IT, will start selling BB Torch 9800 soon, at the exaggerated price of 650 �!!! (650!! as much as the "luxurious" iPhone 4...)
I would like to get one, as I love the idea of a "hybrid" phone, with both touch screen and physical keyboard. And my Bold 9700 has got a couple of defects...
So, I looked at eBay and I found an unlocked Torch at 100� less than the one that will be in Vodafone stores.
They say it comes from the UK, so it is european.
My question, however, is: will I be able to use a BlackBerry data plan (and thus BIS) on that unlocked phone?
I do currently have that option with my Bold 9700, and I can receive emails, use BB Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, etc. Will that work on the unlocked 9800 too, as soon as I move the SIM to the new one?
I will never buy it if I can't use BIS, in fact (actually, I bought my Bold primarily because I wanted to receive push emails).
Thank you in advance.
