Cheapest way to get Blackberry?

comicmankev

Need Email on the move mainly, a few mins/txts wouldnt go amiss, but not essential. Don't care what phone either, as long as I get my email as cheaply as poss?

Any suggestions?

I have a similar query so thought I would add to this post instead of starting another. I would like email on the move also, I mean emails delivered when they're sent and me being able to reply using my phone.

Currently I have a Voda £20 pm sim only deal.

What is the cheapest way for me to access email? Currently have SE c902.

Thanks

Would this be suitable - http://www.emoze.com ? Anyone any idea how much Voda will charge me for a data package.

You could buy a BlackBerry Pearl 8120 on Orange PAYG for £125, then pay £5 a month for unlimited email on it?

Take it on their Canary plan then you'd get 2 hours free eve/wkd calls every month so long as you top up a tenner a month... and have £5 credit to use on texts too

Have noticed Vodafone charge £5 per month for unlimited email/internet (500mb), I don't mind buying a cheap blackberry on eBay and putting my sim in.

I just want a good phone for emailing, any ideas?

Not sure about Vodafone but on Orange you can't add the BlackBerry add-on to SIM only, only to pay monthly.

Cheapest way on Orange is Panther 35 through website which is then £30, gives 600 minutes, 500 texts and unlimited e-mail and browsing, all handsets are free on this tariff and if you get compatible one such as BlackBerry 8900 you also have free sat nav included (Orange Maps).

£30 per month is a good price but would prefer not to be tied into a long contract plus the Orange signal is rubbish where I live.

Is there any way I can "cheat" and pay for unlimited internet and use a service such as Emoze, is it any good and does it support html emails?

If you have home broadband you can hook the BlackBerry up to your wireless connection and the signal comes through your broadband rather than masts which guarantees signal, it's a service called unique phone.

As for emoze I haven't used it sorry but doubt very much you could beat a BlackBerry for the e-mail service it provides, I know what your saying about getting a long contract but for £30 a month you get a lot of value and a great handset in the 8900

Sorry I can't be of more help

Vodafone said I can add Blackberry service to my £20 pm sim only deal for £10 per month. Any better options for blackberry.
