I dont have idea about price but If you want to use GPS, Facebook etc you will have to activate Full Unlimited Plan but if you want to send and receive emails and use all IMs you can activate BB Prosumer Lite plan but you can not surf internet on Prosumer Plan. Cheers. | |

Configuring Hotmail or any other email account on it is absolute cakewalk, thats BB's forte  You are all set with the 899 Enterprise Plus plan, it includes unlimited everything. Just be sure to intimate them about the credit limit issue and use the BIS browser and not the W@P browser on the phone. I would suggest you buy with warrenty. You dont want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere (physical damage isnt included) but hey if you can get it cheaper still go for it! Time to move over from Nokia Also as soon as you get your device share your PIN and be part of the t-bhp BB gang  Quote:

When you get BIS activated the two browsers will magically appear!  Credit limit issue is, Vodafone first charges per KB usage in your bill, and then when the bill is generated it discounts it all. But this is a issue because when you browse a lot it generally becomes like 10-15k of unbilled usage which is all discounted later but you get your outgoing blocked and all and get calls for interim payments etc. I use the Talk Large plan as well. If you need to use it fully the 899 plan is the only option otherwise theres the 299 plan in which only Mail and Messengers will work. | |

| Senior - BHPian  | Hello Blackberry Lovers, I'd like all TBHP BB lovers to know the pain,frustration,trauma that i went through my first ever TBHP transaction with a popular member ( due to his knowledge on BB's-QUICKDRAW) of this thread. I was excited to buy and use my first ever blackberry and during my search of which phone to buy ( budget was not a constraint), I decided on BB Bold. During my interaction/query session with Quickdraw, he offered to sell me his BB Bold which according to him was in mint,excellent,just out of the box type pristine condition He told me it is used for 1-month and no bill and warranty. I agreed for an amount of Rs.23K for his handset. Then i saw a comment by Quickdraw himself somewhere on this thread, that 23K for a used BB is not worth paying, when approached him he brushes off with some convincing response. Deceit and ensuing ordeal commences here : 1. Since he is a tbhp member i decided to go ahead, Sometime during 1st week of April'09, I promptly transferred 23K to his account. When someone buys a phone without bill and warranty, even then the dealer writes on a piece of paper and gives you as his own guarantee ( i always got one like that), i asked him for that. He says, no i dont have any. 2. I recieve the handset in the promised time. When I received the handset, it had a few slight scratches on the borders of the phone. I kept quiet since it was not visible unless reviewed closely. Whereas he told me it was scratchless and in mint condition 3. Quickdraw sends me a Curve cover instead of BB Bold cover. Since last almost 2 months now, he has been promising to send me the cover, he hasn't sent it TILL DATE 4. He is most un-helpful individual i ever came cross in my life, when i ping him a query on BB messenger, he will never reply until midnight or early mornings when i am asleep. Maybe intentionally knowing what he has done. 5. Within the first 4-5 days, i realized the phone has a MAJOR SIGNAL RELATED ISSUE. The signal bar fluctates madly every 2-3 feet that i move around. I immediately brought this point to his notice and he quickly brushes off saying, during courier it may have fallen OR i may have dropped it on the ground OR i never faced that issue at all. Whereas, none of that ever happened. 6. Since then my life has taken a miserable turn. Majority of my work is done on phone. I typically have more than 15 hours of office calls to attend each week and with this issue i made an embarrassment of myself more than half dozen occasions. Sometimes even in the middle of the city on the main street,the signal does not come. I take calls while driving from home-office-home. Imagine the calls get dropped regularly during a city drive. Several offices or restuarants that i visit, an SOS signal comes up. I even transferred my SIM to another friend's handset ( BB BOLD), it works perfectly in his phone. So the phone itself is faulty 7. I approached him and mentioned he intentionally palmed off a faulty phone and his response was curt and rude-i am not a dealer and i am not liable for whatever problem your facing with the phone. I never faced any such issue. I tried reasoning with him for a few days and mentioned the following :- 1. I requested him to take the handset back and i even said reduce 3-4K from original amount and return the rest of the money since the handset is in as i received condition. To which he replies, i am not a dealer and i wont do any such thing 2. I requested him to atleast exchange. He is using a BB 8900 and he agreed to it but wants me to pay him Rs.6K additional apart from exchanging the BOLD. Is it fair? I told him, i am ready to accept BB 8900 ( even though it cost lesser) and take back the BOLD for no cost involved. He simply refused 3.Whenever i ping him to send the BB cover, he will reply back at 2am/3am, i am on vacation when i return to pune in a couple of weeks i will send it then. This is going on since last month and he never bothered to send the same. QUICKDRAW'S MODUS OPERANDI ( It's my guess and maybe i am right) a) He has a source ( stolen phones maybe--who knows) and buys BB phones OR from someone coming from abroad at a dirt cheap price. Gets it un-locked from a local dealer friend. b) Abuse the phone for 1-3 months and looks for unsuspecting buyers like me and palm them off the abused phone. In my case, the phone itself was faulty so it was "intentional cheating" c) Move on to the latest BB model in the market I am just highlighting my experience so you guys are aware of this CHEAT and do not deal with him. I am NOT going to respond to any of his justfications or clarifications to this post, as have done with him personally innumberable times in the past month but to no avail (Damage is already done and i have blown 23K down the drain  )I request the MODS to keep a close eye on "QUICKDRAW" as such people bring immense amount of bad reputation to his amazing forum. |

Not sure what QD has to say for this. But I am sure there is going to be a "you did / I did" slinging posts. Even I have had my share of a similar incident where I was given a used, beaten, abused to core Sony P900 by a friend of mine. I trusted him and parted the money and got hit! I only cursed myself for being cheated and the 11k, well, treated it as the cost of my stupidity! Quote:
