Hi All! I was at the Civic Centre, V.I for the launching of Blackberry service by MTN. Boy, I was impressed by MTN's offering. Device: 8100(Pearl) is N65K 8700 is N63K Monthly Service Charge for individual is N5K. The Monthly Service charge includes unlimited access to the web(24/7) and your email accounts. And, I had a feel of the Blackberry 'Pearl' and connected to Esato. It's one cool, slim, light and functional device worth owning if I wasn't tied to Windows Mobile . My attendant also informed me that one can still connect to the service with any Blackberry device sourced outside MTN. What about other devices with Blackberry Connect facility? No support yet for that. To connect with your Blackberry device, text BIS to 2100. Enquiries to 216. Meanwhile, Glomobile's 'BLUEBLOOD' relic Blackberry device sells for N60k. Activation is N10k, security deposit is N20k and monthly service charge is 10k. And this is restricted to postpaid customers. I LOVE COMPETITION, thanks MTN.

@pxt: Unlimited access to the web means unlimited internet browsing through Blackberry Service.
@amby: I asked the lady who attended to me about this 10MB limit, she assured me that there is no limit. I'll confirm this from a Friendship Centre tomorrow.

@amby: I'll try the Friendship Centre tomorrow, God willing. Been too busy to sneak out of the office these two days.
@mamba: The MTN lady explained that accessing the net by Blackberry Service is limited to a Blackberry device... you can't use the device as a modem.
