Yup, the BB bundle is specific to the device.

To be sure, here is the 3rd opinion. No, you can't. BB have specific mobile service bundles.

And to get technical for you, there are two internet bundles that Orange do, both are normally £5 a month.

An APN is an Access Point Node - it's basically a gateway to the internet from the Orange network

One (the normal 500MB internet bundle) connects you to the "orangeinternet" APN, and gives you usage of that. That's the one that most phones use. It routes your internet usage YOU->ORANGE->THE WIDER INTERNET.

The other (the BlackBerry bundle), gives you unlimited access to the "blackberry.apn" APN. That's the one that only BlackBerrys can/will connect to - no other phone can/will use it. This one routes your usage YOU->ORANGE->RIM->THE WIDER INTERNET. (RIM are the people who make BlackBerrys, and their APN will only allow traffic through that's being used on a BlackBerry, due to the encryption involved.

If you've got the BlackBerry bundle, you can use as much blackberry.apn as you want, but as soon as you put the SIM into another phone, it'll try using orangeinternet, and because you don't have an orangeinternet bundle, you'll pay the standard £1 a MB.
