Today I have just purchased a blackberry 7100i with nextel and I know absolutely nothing about this phone. My first question is the keyboard. Is it possible to pair a bluetooth keyboard with this device? Also my internet browser is not even on the menu and I have an unlimited data plan and installed yahoo messenger and every time i tried sigining in told me to go to some site on blackberry.com that didn't exist. BTW is using yahoo messenger (that i got from blackberry.com) require a data plan for blackberry or is it free to use it?

To get your browser on the screen........go to options, advanced options, host routing tables. Then click the wheel twice and select register now.

I don't believe the 7100i will pair with a bluetooth keyboard. Mine works with a headset and I can sync to my laptop by bluetooth.

Don't know anything about Yahoo messenger. Sorry

bluetooth keyboards are available for the 7100 series but I havent tested one as of yet

Yes, there are bluetooth keyboards for the 71xx, see this review

The Freedom Universal Keyboard supports the 7100 series. See the review by John Clark
