It's a nice phone but if you've only just arrived in the UK no mobile operator is likely to give you a contract.

ainohau

is it??
but my other friend already sign a contract
and i really need the phone as soon as possible

You'll need to be credit worthy, and sign up to a 24 month plan to get it cheap or free, I think Orange are doing it for £50 on a £35 a month plan, below that fee, it will prob cost over £100.

I think it was released over here about 3 days ago, so good luck getting a bargain!

If you really NEED it that fast, buy the phone directly from somewhere like unlocked mobiles for £479.

You then just need a sim card - and decent deals are more likely to be accepted for someone with less credit history - sometimes a deposit for three months rental is accepted - and something like chitter chatter's £6/month SIM with 100 mins 100 texts and unlimited data works out as the equivalent of under £26 per month over 24 months including the phone cost, probably one of the cheapest ways to get this phone.

There are loads of deals on SIM cards at the moment, and you can often switch between them easily. This is just one example. If you buy the phone outright, you are in control.

For blackberry you need BIS, which is not included in typical data.
You might be better off with a Blackberry Booster on T-mobile costing £20 for 6 months, which gives you Blackberry E-mail and 1GB per month Blackberry Internet.
