Telcel offers a different pricing scheme for blackberries: MXN $343 a month, for (truly) unlimited access and push e-mail. Some clever apps take advantage of blackberry's internet service (such as gmail, google maps and twitterberry) and effectively give you unlimited access. Granted, it's slow (only EDGE is supported on the blackberry), but you can rely on having net access almost anywhere you get a phone signal, and not being charged per-kilobyte fees.
And actually, the money I saved by NOT sending SMS, replacing them with blacberry messenger communication, made up for 90% of the extra cost!
Plus the blackberry's full qwerty keyboard kicks ass.
Now if only they offered the 8320, with wifi and gps receiver...
berry?
