Blackberry?

Thinking of getting one with an unlimited data plan, is it worth it? I can get it for 69 a month with Sprint's anymobile anytime deal, that includes unlimited data. I don't need to access corporate email or anything, so there's no need for the extra 20 a month for all of that, the 69 bucks includes my regular email and messengers and web browsing unlimited already. Horrible idea, or would you go for it?

I have the Bold 9000 and love it! My work pays for my unlimited data plan BES hookup. It is a great smartphone!

dont waste money on a blackberry, buy an IPHONE. Ive had my blackberry storm for over a year and HATE IT, it freezes all the time you need to constantly pull the battery to reset it and its slow at the best of times, not to mention the IPHONE just does way more stuff and has about 100,000 apps available. One more year with my POS blackberry and i can get a better deal on the IPHONE.

AT&T sucks, and I am not sure if I could economically get the Iphone with Sprint. AT&T only covers half of my zipcode, and hardly anywhere in southwestern VA where I travel a lot.
Oh, I can get the BB for 29 bucks, the curve.

Yeah, I am a technician for them, I rebuild/repair/refurbish the HTC google phones and the droids. They have some nice features, but I ain't paying that much for a phone.

My brother has a nice HTC droid (not a Motorola Android), and it's pretty sweet. If it rings, you can go "Shhh" and it goes into silent mode, and you can ask it who won the game and it will look up and read today's scores, and you can tell it to text someone and what to say and it will do it, and you can tell it to order pizza (from somewhere like Pizza Hut that accepts online orders) and it will do it for you. If I was prepared to pay that kind of money, I'd either go with one of those or the Motorola. I think a BB will do what I need though, just having a hard time deciding to pull the trigger on it.

Check with Verizon, it was my understanding that Email/ Web for smart phones is a flat 29.99 a month.

I never had a BlackBerry but know a few people that do and they don't like them. Not sure why, but they don't.
I have a Motorola Casio Boulder and it's the best phone I've had. I've had it for a year (longest I've been able to keep a phone without it breaking) and it still works good. It's pretty durable and never had any problems with it freezing or acting up on me. Although it is pretty basic so if you want all the bells and whistles, it aint for you.
