I probably wont be able to get a BB data plan from sprint, money is not the issue its just my dad wont buy another 30/month to the phone bill

so does the unlimited vision pack I have right now considered generic?

so Ill be able to use many third party apps for free correct?

no with a bb you have to get the bb data plan

no I talked to sprint, youll be able to use a basic features (talk, sms)
but not the browser, but i thought generic would be and vision pack?

[uncheels23]

You will not have a Browser, but you can download many of the application to a computer and install them using the Applications Loader software.

Unfortunately, nearly anything that you install will fail because it can not initialize without the infrastructure of the plan.

Simple applications only, a few games.

without the data plan, you wont be able to use bb messenger, email, the browser, or download 3rd party apps to your phone. i would try to talk your dad into the 30 bucks a month, if i were you.
there really isnt any reason to have a bb without the data plan. its what makes a blackberry... well, a blackberry!
