My husband wants a Blackberry Pearl for Christmas but doesn’t want to be locked into a contract with any service provider. Can you actually buy a handset with a pay as you go sim whilst still getting the full Blackberry functions and capability. I have searched everywhere on the net and can only find contract options.
Also, if it is possible to purchase just the handset, do you know the cheapest place in Edinburgh to buy one?

Am thinking of getting a Blackberry phone, but am confused as to how it connects to the internet….is it dependent on wireless access in the area, or does it connect via the telephone service provider (Orange, 02 etc)? Do i pay for being online with it?
