Being a tue Luddite I haven’t a clue about these sorts of things but….
Been offered a pefectly good working Blackbery for nowt beofre it goes for recycle. What does it do? Can I use my Orange Sim card in it? Unlocking? What are running costs?
Answers using words of 1 sylable please

It’s just a phone 🙂

They are really for linking to a works exchange server so you can still stay connected to emails/calanders etc when away from the office.
Can work with personal email but will need a data or blackberry plan.

You say your a Luddite so I doubt you would enjoy owning such a device. eBay it and spend the money something else. It’s a mobile phone with Internet, email and all that. If you pit your sim in you will prob need to change plans as you will be connected to the Internet.

Better than eBay as no seller or PayPal fees: http://www.mazumamobile.com/

As a device for emails it is absolutely brilliant. As a phone it’s not bad at all. For internet it is rubbish.

only any good for work emails really, I’ve got an Ipod touch for the rest
