I just looked on the uscc website and it shows the blackberry. It also says the plan is like $39.99. So is that price on top of the regular phone service price.

Yea, its about $10/mo higher than it should be if they want it to be competitive. T Mobile's is $20 cheaper a month, but it doesn't include all of the same stuff in the package. But not $20s worth. I'm not too sure how much VZW charges for BB use, but I've heard its kind of pricey.

Just what exactly does the USCC package include for a BB that you think T-Mobile's doesn't? I am just curious and speaking from a level of ignorance in asking.

I'm seeing $49.95 for T-mobile's plan... or is that for something else?

What you maybe looking at is the Blackberry main plans set, dependent upon BES or BB internet access needs.

There are separate add on plans as well where a user is allowed to have a voice plan of for example $39.99 (1500 whenever minutes, free n&w) or a family plan of $69.99 (1000 minutes, free n&w, free mob to mob) and these plans are $19.99 (regular internet) or $29.99 (with BES).

Ours is the plan + 39.95 for either the BES or the BIS. Our technology offers PULL e-mail for the BES which I dont think T-mobile has.

ok.. i was just helping ya out.. 🙂

many carriers are still releasing new blackberry products becuase this is just speculation with the injunction to be enforced.. i guess time will tell.. i dont think its right.. i think we will see a lot of lawsuits if the injunction will be enforced and the 3+ million usa customers will scramble to get either a regular phone or palm or what not..

we shall see.

wow too many threads on this topic loll..

it just means the settlement has been denied.. (well the past "agreement")

now rimm is faced with 3 things..

1. settle for a highier price.

2. the work around solution.

3. the injunction..

The difference between you and your other sign-in name - Alejandro - is that Kneebreaker is joking around and having fun with stupid tongue-in-cheek remarks. Alejandro, on the other hand, really means the junk he says. Alejandro IS Kneebreaker. And by the way, Gandalf is not me. He just is intelligent enough to agree with me most of the time. 😉
