Hi all,

Any of you on Orange with the Blackberry Email Only plan?

and have you ever gone over your 6mb bundle?

Can you add a Orange World Bundle onto plan also? such as u/l eve & w/ends?

I'm on Orange.. Your supposed to have world access 25 at £16 per month if you have a blackberry on BIS. I, however only had WA10 at £8 and I've not gone over and I'm on msn all day, get about 50/60 emails a day and use BB messenger a bit...

I've never really understood the benefit of having a blackberry device for emails. i.e. I have never really understood the need for push email.

I have been with t-mobile web'n'walk for a long time now and any phone I have is set to retrieve emails every 10 minutes and so I am never more than 10 minites behind live emails. My office supplies blackberries on request but I set a rule in my office Lotus Notes to forward emails to my personal email automatically and so again I see these within 10 minutes.

this way I get to use the phone of my choice and can receive and reply to emails very quickly

using VPN I also have access to the office intranet

so... what am I missing out on by not having a blackberry?

well, I've always been in a crowd of 1 I guess so nothing new there! but surely there is something more about blackberry that vpn and regular email checking on a normal phone doesn't achieve?

Not really lol,

although BB messenger is a very good way of talking over IM completely free, mind you it does have to be with another BB user. lol

I just really like the simplicity of it, setting it up take about 2 minutes and consumers like that as there not as tech savvy as most people on these forums.

So its the simplicity that i love about my BB.

@super...,
"the simplicity of it"...?! Well, it took me 5 mins to set up 3 completely different accounts on my e61, and like masseur I set it up to automatically retrieve all mail - every 30 mins... If you install profimail it's even easier to set up! In addition, I can open, edit, and send back word/excel docs... On my treo 750v it was equally simple - I can even edit/scribble notes on pictures and return (proofing brochures, e.g.)... What I'm saying is: if simplicity's the reason, then it's time for bb to come up with someting new, isn't it?
