Congrats on your Crackberry purchase
I just bought a new one myself last week.. but I have had one for the last 4 years and they are amazing!!!

As far as I know all programs are on a free trial for about 2 weeks to 30 days then you have to start to pay for them.. I haven't come across one yet that is free besides the AOL IM that you can use on your BB..

VeriChat has it - http://www.pdaapps.com/verichat/ http://www.pdaapps.com/verichat_bby/

Make sure you get true unlimited data or you'll go broke trying to pay beyond the 25 MB that Rogers gives you on their "unlimited" plan (Rogers charges $7/mb beyond 25 mb).

Bell Mobility has true unlimited data ($60 CAD/month). Cingular has unlimited data with unlimited international roaming ($60 USD / month).

^^verichat isn't free though... not as far as I knew..

VeriChat for BlackBerry currently requires a BES server (except for Nextel and Telus devices), and requires that MDS be enabled for your account on your BES server. A version of VeriChat that will not require the BES server is currently being developed.

VeriChat is free for 30 days - then $4 / month.

ok.. that part I did not know about the $4/mth.. but I am with rogers so I only have a max of 25mb/mth as well so I could not use MSN/VeriChat.. not only that but I wouldn't get much work done I am sure so I may as well save myself the $4/mth and my job

Thanks for the info though RJ!

You damn Blackberry people, making me want one...

They certainly are the bomb Cale..

I just bought one unlocked from the UK.. it is the 7100v.. vodafone one.. it is sweet as heck!! So now I own two.. I can go back and forth between them which is kind of nice..

It is a lot of money to invest in though if you have the full plan on it like I do.. it comes out to about $120/mth with cell, email, text and internet.. but it is the most handy thing ever!

I have the new 7250 model from Telus mobility ...

i have the 90 dollar unlimited package which includes unlimited (upto 50mb.. ) .. 350 daytime mins + unlimited evening / weekends .. and ive added 100txt msgs for 5dollars

my email is [email protected] for those of you who have blackberrys .. email me with your phone numbers and such .. as i lost all my phone numbers from my cell phone that broke ..

Your PIN allows you to msg other people that have BB's within 2 seconds instead of email.. it is a faster way of msg'ing.. that is all.. direct..

Think of it as being along the lines of SMS... although it doesn't have a maximum number of characters like SMS does.

Basically a PIN is a message that is sent directly from one Blackberry device to another through RIM's network, bypassing e-mail servers, etc.

Cool i did not know that ... thanks !

When verichat expires just clear out the RMS database

PM me your crackberry questions. I know a thing or two

That stinks, I just looked at the Rogers site. Their definition of 'unlimited' is 25MB.

Fido has a 25MB plan, and THEN another plan above it, 'unlimited'.

$50/month

On a site note, this makes me sick:

Anytime Minutes 900
Night & Weekend Minutes Unlimited
Mobile to Mobile minutes Unlimited
Long distance $0.00
Roaming charges $0.00
Additional minutes 40�/minute
One-time activation fee $36.00
Contract Length 2 years

Cingular 900 w/Rollover, $59.99/month.

Canadians get screwed with Mobile service.

aww i want one. so are you people saying that you can basically have an msn messenger on it and message back and forth like your on your computer sorta??

Yep.

You can also use the custom BlackBerry Messenger application but you can only talk to other BlackBerry users.

After talking to Fido - they have no Blackberry plan available. The above plan is data only and does not include BES or MDS (thus none of the Blackberry specific functions).

Correct.

BlackBerry is only available on Rogers, Telus, and Bell in Canada.
