It adds a £10 top up at checkout, it doesn't come with it.

As a Blackberry user, why would you buy one without a contract? The nature of a Blackberry is that it constantly downloads your email. It is a business tool. If you want a phone that does fancy things, buy an iPhone or an HTC Android based phone.
Either that or buy one on a contract that includes BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) services - the power of a Blackberry only really comes into its own with this.

Spoke to them about it and this pay as you go one constantly downloads your email too though. Good if you want pay as you go and don't want a contract. I know loads of people that use their blackberry for their own email and not business.

I thought BES was more for medium/large companies? BIS- which is what is free for 6 months is fine for personal use.
As long as people are prepared to pay the £5 or whatever after 6 months this is a pretty ok deal.
Personally I found Blackberrys a bit rubbish for Internet surfing, my iPhone is much better but if someone wants a simple push email solution then BB is the way to go.

Definitely agree though that for most, you will get more fun/use out of an iPhone!
