  • BlackBerry can seem confusing but is quite simple really, can you give us an idea of how many minutes/texts a month he expects to use and what type of BlackBerry he wants, i.e. full QWERTY keyboard, GPS, camera etc?

    At the moment he has an 8700. His e mail ,text and phone usage is high. Am trying to ge a breakdown from his present company for an exact idea. thanks
  • Handset wise if he's used to the 8700 and doesn't want to go smaller I would suggest either:

    8820 - http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_8820-2033.php
    or
    8310 - http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_curve_8310-2050.php

    Orange offer various business tarriffs, I found one where they gave me 700 minutes per month and two phones sharing for £55 per month - and a credit of £220 after the 1st month - so forms to claim - two free phones (decent ones at the time two, M600/sony one) made the monthly work out to be £43pm over the total contract, and free insurance



    I'm just looking to upgrade myself to a blackberry and they have offered some decent deals

    18 month contract, free blackberry data for 6 months

    I deal usually with a business orange specialist called Scancom (if I'm allowed to mention the name) they have given me some deals in the past
