Comments on: BlackBerrys with no data plan… Would it fly? http://www.rimarkable.com/blackberrys-with-no-data-plan-would-it-fly The Unofficial BlackBerry Weblog Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:11:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sharon http://www.rimarkable.com/blackberrys-with-no-data-plan-would-it-fly/comment-page-1#comment-130759 Sharon Fri, 04 Jun 2010 16:33:36 +0000 http://www.rimarkable.com/?p=904#comment-130759 What everyone needs to do is to file complaints with the FCC and FTC to put a stop to the requirements of the Data Plans. If the FCC and FTC get enough complaints they can put a stop to it. Besides, the emailing and Web surfing along with texting is the number one cause of vehicles accidents. Most states have laws against it. Also if you try same thing while shopping you may crash into someone or something and be totally embarassed. So basically the data plan is useless unless home, visiting or working. I have a BB and where I live the cell phone service is crappy as with all phones and providers.

Just go into a wifi location with the iPhone and BAM you got your data, and the blackberries are great for texting phones, if they have a wifi radio, then do the same as on an iphone if not, its still a durable texting multimedia phone (minus the web/email/BB messenger).

We need to put a stop to this. Take a stand write someone to stop this like the BBB. Cellphone users require data plan now with smartphone. We need to put a stop to this.

In fact, I use mine to sync with Outlook calendar, contacts, and tasks via active sync on my BlackBerry 8900. I know others who do just as I do, and have no data plan either.

Mobile web, email, and attachements is really about it. You can still SMS and use it as a PDA that synchs with Outlook, without that horrid T9 text engine that takes me 10 minutes to type "I will be there in 5 minutes" I think a BB without a data plan is very realistic, and we can expect it on the consumer models soon.
