I've had my blackberry for about 11 months and the first time I used it was boring, than I purchased my first BIS data service, telling the truth I was thrilled but two and a half weeks later the downloading speed went from 300 kb/s to 6 kb/s which sucks. I blame vodacom for that but I also blame blackberry for making weak devices. Without BIS you can not enjoy the full capacity of the phone with sucks even more. All the apps are also outdated slow and full of bugs. Without BIS, blackberry is just another useless phone (my personal opinion)
