Yes of course its possible. It just depends on what sim card you put in the phone and what you want to do with it.

Blackberrys are nice and for the advanced users. They are worth getting if you want a phone that works like a computer. Depends on your needs really.

as far as i know, blackberry service isn't available on pay as you talk on any of the networks. if you're not going to use email thats no big deal BUT, with most networks, if you don't have the balckberry service, you cant use mms or GPRS for internet access either, which takes away the point of having one.

Blackberry's are great for messaging by text, email, IM (blackberry messenger is great if you've got mates with blackberry's as you can chat for free!) but if you're mainly going to be using it just as a phone, there are better alternatives.

The media player is pretty good, but will take a little getting used to. The camera is pretty good too considering its only a 2mp.

If you are going to invest on one for use on prepay, check with your network first, as i'm pretty sure that o2 will insist you're on a business contract to use blackberry.

If you want push email on your phone with out paying extra costs, look at a Nokia phone running Symbian 60.

Push Email on Nokia Phones

These will work on PAYG no problem, but you'll have to pay for the data transfers.

andys is correct.

frm memory you cannot get the blackberry service on PAYG, it is only avialable on contract.

TBH there is no point in having a blackberry unless you go on a contract (does not need to be a buisness one). The only exception are girls who go for the 8110 pink - dont have any idea what goes through thier head

Hi, can you also unlock the Blackberry storm?

I am going to get one of those sim only contract deals from T-Mobile but I want to use my Blackberry Storm with it. Many shops tell me that they can unlock other models but not the Storm.

Don't think so - I monitor a lot of forums and news feeds and I've not heard anything as yet about anyone managing to unlock the BlackBerry Storm
