    ive been looking lately and the cheapest place i have fount is £129 at tesco with the £10 off code on the website, minimum you will pay for monthly usage is £15 for top ups which include bbm. i heard chitter chatter are doing some sort of deal with the internet /bbm if your first top up was £20 worth which i think saves you around £10 each 6 months

    i was looking for my son and have now decided his attitude really isnt worth it so have bought him from tesco a phone called the mojo it looks like a bb but isnt, so does not have the bbm facitlity, i have signed up to a 12 month contract for him but it gives him 500 mins 5000text and 500mb of internet each month, (if he goes over this he will be in trouble lol)

    I'm also looking for a Blackberry on PAYG to be able to use my Giffgaff sim. It will have to be either unlocked, sim free or O2 network. I'm going round in circles but if I find a good deal I'll come back and let you know.

    Phones4U - £6.50 cashback
    Carphone Warehouse - £5 cashback
    Dial-A-Phone - £6.50 cashback

    Also T-Mobile currently have the Blackberry Curve 8520 for £139.99 and a £10 top up but if you purchase the phone you get 6 months free BBM access [Worth £20] and 100 free minutes every month - The details are here - http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/blackberry-curve-8520-payg/

    Also if you buy a PAYG phone from T-Mobile via Quidco you get £10 cashback meaning the £10 airtime is essentially free!
