BlackBerry?

can u get a blackberry but not actually use the phone for e-mail? I really want a new phone, but I have sprint, and I can%26#39;t find any phone that is not a flip that is decent. So I would like to see if I could get a blackberry, but I don%26#39;t want to have to pay extra for blackberry service. I am sorry if that doesn%26#39;t make any sense, but that is what I want to know.

Answer:

there%26#39;s no point in a blackberry (I%26#39;ll shorten it to BB for the rest of this answer) without data. You can do it - I mean, you can get any service your device and SIM card support - but its useless.

Having said that, there are two options I would suggest:

1) If you go with a BB, then try the data. The popularity of the BB comes from the data. You can even get Yahoo email sent directly to the device. That%26#39;s pretty cool, especially if you use the filters and don%26#39;t get slammed with spam.

2) If you don%26#39;t like the phones you see, my first thought is perhaps you%26#39;re limiting yourself to a carrier. Don%26#39;t. Look around, there%26#39;s other devices with other service providers (like Verizon, Cingular (ATT), Sprint, etc). I dropped the link to CNet%26#39;s review page for Cell phones. Check it out.

Good Luck! Totally! you mite get not get as the %26#39;special%26#39; discount for not getting the data plan but you dont need one. I like using blackberryz and other smartphonez for texting and i dont use a data plan/email You shouldn%26#39;t get a BlackBerry unless you are going to use data (email, browsing). All you would have is a big, bulky, expensive phone. I found BB really good as it keeps me in touch with business and friends. Read from www.blackberry.com
