Hi All,
I am new to Blackberry and don't know about services that was provided by providers.

I am planning to buy 8830 unlocked, currently i am using airtel normal postpaid connection.Do i need to take blackberry data services from airtel to configure OWA or exchange ?
How GPS navigation works in Blackberry ?, will it needed any subscription or charges extra? or will it works like nokia ovi ??

I am looking for <8k blackberry with Wfi, is there any other options available other than 8830 ?

Your help appreciated.

regards
Jijo

You have to activate Blackberry Internet Service(BIS) or Blackberry enterprise Serice (BES) to get Blackberry data Service on your Blackberry.

I dont think any other BB is less than 8K...

In case you can increase ur budget a little,you can go for BB 8520 with Wifi (only browser will wrk on Wifi no BB msngr or Enterprise service on Wifi)

Thanks for your reply,

On the other way, gprs can't be used for browsing,im like nokia phones instead of data plans ?

What about GPS services?
