I'm looking to go onto a Simplicity deal next month and can't work out the difference between O2's data tariff's.

I currently have an iPhone, but am getting a Blackberry today and intend on using both.

The simplicy iPhone tariff offers "unlimited data and WiFi", the Smartphone tariff offers "unlimited data" (both are the same price) and the Blackberry offers "Blackberry unlimited" which is £2.50 pcm more expensive than the other two tariff's.

So what's the difference? And which would I be bettr to go fo baring I mind I'm now using an iPhone and a Blackberry!!??

    Iphone tariff you can use the BT openzone wifi network and o2 3g network.

    Smartphone you can only use o2 3g network.

    Blackberry gives you access to blackberry mail and the other relevant blackberry feautures

    Not too bothered about BT Openzone, its always been rubbish where I live.

    But as I'm not on a Blackberry tariff will I not be able to use the Blackberry App store etc?

    Well fat load of good buying a Blackberry was! I cant use Blackberry messanger, which I wasn't too bothered about, but it won't let me connect to WiFi without using a workaround, and more importantly, it won't let me download any App's, presumably because I'm not on a Blackberry tariff! So the phones useless to me!

    Why are mobile operators making it so difficult to own more than one phone!!
