RE: Blackberry Storm...

(not arguing in case someone sees it as that)On the contrary....phone calls and text messages will work on a sidekick with an at&t sim(its been done) it's just the data services(which go through a completely different server) that wouldn't work...same with blackberries. Each service provider has a different "server" for it's blackberries...if i pop a at&t sim card in my BB and that sim card is linked to an account with a BB data plan on it then my phone will get the service books upon registering with the network(powering back up) and it will be able to utilize the bb specific things like push email and what not...
Phone calls and text messages go through pretty much the same data channel...just hi and low...which is why everyone except nextel can get texts while on the phone. MMS goes through on BB's WITHOUT a data plan because they go through a seperate channel, different from the internet data channel, which is why carriers charge picture messages as that and not data(if you don't have an unlimited plan), on BB's pretty much everything outside of Phone/Text/MMS is dependant on a BB data plan being present, without that data plan you can say bye bye to all the cool things about a blackberry. BUT with a wap package you can still access/browse the net through the wap browser as long as you have properly configured "TCP" under options, advanced, tcp. I know all of this from working for every major US cellular carrier within the last 4 years or so, and i'm a phone junkie..my bb curve is phone number 11 for the year...not because they break either

It works the same on rogers, and in theory it would work on a network without bb servers(metro or cricket)

Huh, I guess I just dont see how it could work, but I believe you. I just figured it wouldnt be able to Que in just like an unlocked sidekick wouldnt work with AT&T. The internet wont recognize because it runs off a distinct plan that AT&T didnt carry. You may be right, I just dont see it happening.

I am so stoked we are spending all this money for her to have a new Blackberry. I told her she has to start texting people like 50x a day and live on that thing.
