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 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 :p
Thanks for the info though RJ! :) |

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! |
