Mtn Blackberry

I understand that Blackberry is launching on MTN soon (a weeks time, true?). Does MTNBB have any idea on the packages and prices on offer.

I would seriously suggest that anyone thinking of going the BlackBerry route first
look at solutions from LayerOne & IS. Their technology is based on a solution
which in my opinion is far superior and advanced to the +8 year old RIM technology.
Also, this Push technology from RIM is most annoying to say the least!
With LayerOne / IS I can choose what device I want (Smartphone, Palm, Nokia
etc. etc.) and also maintain full control!

This will be available on Monday morning.

what surprises me is that MTN never spoke about Blackberry until i asked abt it on this forum. WOW. that is scary, i thought they would have advertised the product to us all, like V3G does on the vodacom threads.

Now, who will tell us abt Blackberry and which option is best, VODACOM OR MTN?

BTW wheres cell c in all of this? always lagging behind

Now, who will tell us abt Blackberry and which option is best, VODACOM OR MTN?

The way I see it:

Vodacom: 2 bundles and 1 contract
MTN: 1 contract only

Vodacom contract: R349, including 100 minutes airtime, unlimited data
MTN contract: R358, including R150, data limited to 25Mb after 3 months

Vodacom: BB 7290, 7100v (Vodafone exclusive)
MTN: BB 7290

In general, Vodacom seems (somewhat) better.

vodacom does seem better, but 25 mb is a lot of email even in 3 months, especially considering you arent really going to download huge attachments often.
