been thinking about getting myself a crackberry, and this one might be the one. does the unlimited data contract from vodacom cover hsdpa?
I wonder how soon this will be available on vodacom?

Silly question, i dont understand how a blackberry works.
Do you get given a new email address or are you able to use an existing one, ie my current work one???
Any idea when it will be available in SA? Particularly through MTN?

love the wifi feature and smooth edges, lets hope the enterprise activation performance is better.

So would i be able to email myself an iso from my overseas server and then download the email to the blackberry. finally copying it off the blackberry using wifi?

you cant really download email attachments on the bb. at best you'll be displayed your email attached documents as an image that the device needs to retrieve from the bb server. there might be a java email client out there to replace the builtin one.
