This is why Blackberry is having a hard time...
I've been out of the personal phone procurement for awhile. I have an original Blackberry Bold from 3 years back that I want to get set-up so I purchased an unlimited data plan. It cost me 198 here in HK w/ a number of minutes as well.
However, once the data plan is active nothing works. I come to find out that Blackberry still requires a 'special' data plan. Looking at the prices, for the same unlimited data, it will cost me double!
Without the stiff competition Blackberry is facing on the hardware/software side, how can they compete when it costs double on the service side. That's not in addition to the extra $10 US I pay for BES.
Am I missing something? Anyone know how I can get my Blackberry's data service to work using the standard data package from SmarTone-Vodafone in HK?
