if i keep getting instant emails–i won’t be able to work.
scheduling to check email 5-6 times a day is enough,

BlackBerry plans have been more appealing to high-end corporate users, but with the introduction of cheaper plans by mtnl, it seems that even the average college going user can now afford them with freedom of browsing too.

Blackberry service is totally different thing from all others, so use it to know the specialty…

All other option suck your battery because the constantly use internet.
BB use other method for this so it gives better battery back up.

I dont understand what is so special about Blackberry?
If you take a docomo, vodaphone, idea or BSNl GPRS plan as low as 65 to 98 Rs. per month u can always do all things that you can do on a blackberry with any gud phone with Opera Mini, nimbuzz and other applications installed.Or u can use Bharat Berry software on symbian or android
