should I bother getting a Blackberry?
Hi everyone, I'm a newbie so forgive me if this topic is inappropriate or if I'm posting it in the wrong place.
I am in desperate need of a new phone. My dad thought the G1 was a nice phone for me, until he found out that you can't get it through T-Mobile without signing up for a data service package for 24.99/month. He has data service on his Blackberry Curve, but he has it through his company so he doesn't have to pay for it.
Anyway, I was planning on just buying a Nokia but then he heard the new Curve 8900 was coming out on the 11th of this month. He is now insisting I should get that.
My question is, since we are not signing up for data service, is there even really a point to buying a Blackberry at all? Meaning, is it worth it to get one even without the data service?
