Yahoo! and Research in motion have inked a deal to significantly expand access to Yahoo! services via your BlackBerry. From the sounds of it Yahoo! Go for Mobile will integrate a full range of Yahoo!’s products such as Yahoo! Search, Yahoo! Mail, and Yahoo! Messenger into a singe interface accessible via a single Yahoo! Go for Mobile icon.
One of the really cool things here is that BlackBerry users will be able to get real time Yahoo! Mail on their BlackBerries. I have personally had a Yahoo! account since it was RocketMail so this will be a welcome addition to my 7130e.
As of right now, Yahoo! Search works on all BlackBerries, Yahoo! Mail works on all carries less T-Mobile and will come to other carries soon, and Yahoo! Messenger works on Sprint (US), Rogers (CA), 02 (UK), 3 (HK), and CSL (HK). Mail will come to T-Mobile shortly and Messenger will eventually rolled out to other carriers.
You can download Yahoo! Go for Mobile to your BlackBerry over the air by visiting http://www.blackberry.com/yahoodownload on your device.

The link states that e-mail only works on t-mobile and that for now the other carriers are not supported.

You are absolutely right Carnell. I must have misread that press release.
