I believe we are going to have the same back and forth on this as we did with Grandfathered Vision. I do not have a blackberry plan and do have blackberry email, browser and free downloads from the backberry home page on the browser. I have a powervision plan with my phone plan and it works just fine. I am on it now posting from burger king.

I can tell you that I did not get my phone from the sprint store I got it on ebay free. It was already activated when it arrived but I did not have a data connection yet. I entered all my numbers sync'ed it with my pc and by that time it was bedtime. I was going to call sprint that morning to add a blackberry plan if I had to and that Morning I turn the phone on and data was working. All the service books and emails I sent myself the night before came through soon as I turned it on. All 21 of them!

I set up my blackberry email and push accounts before I had my data even working through the sprint website.

The globe that says internet browser. How long you had your blackberry and where did you get it from.

Since yesterday, from Sprint. The phone works and I have received messages stating that the phone is registered on the network.

I guess I have been lucky the only problems I have had were rebooted 3 times while on vacation. (that has not happened to me at all while I am at home)
And Yahoo messenger being funny from time to time. When that happens I either take the battery out for a little bit or I delete the application and download it again.

I had planned to get the blackberry for data use only. I will come out cheaper with the phone / vision plan so I will stick with what I got.

I was going to try to send you something would you like me to pm you my pin? In the blackberry forum most people have them in their signature line. So I figure I am not worried about giving it out.

Sure, what does the pin do?

You can send messages from blackberry to blackberry via pin.

That's one of the first things I did to test my phone out. I sent a message to myself. Can you even send a pin message? My pin is 3012F067

I see well wish I could have helped more...

Maybe a blackberry from the Sprint store is a factor?
