That being said - when you bring it in to get it hooked up you will still have to sign up for a BlackBerry data plan to use your email and BlackBerry messenger etc. Ultimately you will have to sign up for a contract in order to use the device to the fullest. @Chaun

You can buy a BlackBerry by itself off of ebay or almost any other online market place.

That being said – when you bring it in to get it hooked up you will still have to sign up for a BlackBerry data plan to use your email and BlackBerry messenger etc.

Ultimately you will have to sign up for a contract in order to use the device to the fullest.

I would still carry it today if I could. It was a near perfect device - it did one thing extremely well. And yes, it used a single AA battery. The 80386 was actually powered by a small lithium battery in the device. The AA charged the internal battery.
