help needed - blackberry or not?

:confused:I am not sure if this should be here or on the phone one? But anyway, i would really appreciate your help!:confused:
I am self employed and am looking to access my e-mails remotely from a phone or blackberry, but i don't which one would be best.
I will be spending quite a lot of time away from a computer and will still need to access e-mails and respond quickly to them.
Any advice on which device i need and which tarriff would be best for value would be very much appreciated.:beer:

  • Blackberry tarriffs are still quite an expensive solution (and often require integration with a corporate Microsoft Exchange server). I'd suggest something like T-mobile web'n'walk and set your phone up to poll the email server every 15 mins like mine does. Flext20 is the cheapest option at £22.50 a month at the moment.

    As for phone, your choice - normal phone is more hassle to type on but smaller. Or take something like the MDA Mail which they'll give you for free!

    PS: if you want me to recommend you as a friend to T-mobile, where both parties get £20, let me know! :)

    Three also have a very decent data bundle costing an additional £5 a month, 3g technology but being upgraded to hsdpa speeds (if your phone has it) in the next couple of months!

    You can get the E61 free on certain tariffs which would be ideal to send emails: http://threestore.three.co.uk/phoneplan.aspx?offercode=&phoneDesc=Nokia_E61&phoneCode=NOE613DSL&tariffid=0

    There's decent Quidco to be made plus £30 recommend a friend (pm me if you dont know anyone on three). I think some tariffs are also giving additional credit back
    SLC: £13000+

    Quidco
    : £
    131.24 (paid) + £0 (validated) = £131.24
    Valued Opinions
    : £75 (paid) + £52.30 (received) + £4.50 (pending) = £131.80
    StudentPanel: £25
