guys i want to ask , i'm from Indonesia and i want to ask about the disadvantage from blackberry 8707v after unlocking the device ,,, is is true that device cannot open the blackberry feature like blackberry messenger or blackberry browser after unlocking the device ?

and is 8707v can wifi ?

Unlocking allows you to use a SIM card from another provider for voice and data, if the provider has BB service. As long as you have a data connection, you should have the browser and messenger available.

AFAIK, the 8707v is not WiFi capable.

There are no disadvantages to unlocking the device. Everything should work as normal as long as you have the BB data plan as dubdub suggested.

well, what u mean with data plan ? u mean phone sim card ?

guys , is it true ,, i already call to Xl Phone Provider customer service and they tell me that if i already unlock it , i can't use the BB feature like , GPRS,BB messenger , n email n browser .. is it true ? it will happen if i use another phone card .

Please see the above link from JSanders. You ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, DEFINITIVELY, 100% must have a BlackBerry DATA PLAN in order to use ANY data features.

i'm very very sorry guys ,, if you lot saying data plan , but first ,, what is data plan look like ? and how to get data plan BB ?

I understand that English is not your first language, but we can't say it any clearer. Ask your provider for a "BlackBerry Data Plan". That is the ONE AND ONLY way that any data features will function on your device.

is data plan like a packet internet provider u mean ?

jliverty, you have PMed me and I have answered this question as well. It is the internet connection to your BlackBerry. You must call your voice carrier to but this internet service to your phone--called a BlackBerry Data Plan.

What that will translate to in your native language, I don't know, but that is what you need.

Good luck.

No. I mean exactly what I posted above. BlackBerry Data Plan. Nothing more, nothing less.

well ok ,,, i'm very thx to you all guys ,,, sorry if i'm slow to realize that .. and i want to ask something ,,, if you said need BB data plan ,, and how about the phone card ? should i use certain phone card to be able to use data plan for BB ? or depends on the service provider data plan ?

No. You'll need to contact your provider and see if they offer "Blackberry Data." If they don't you won't get BB data. It's been posted above and it's plain and simple.

ou ok ok ,, i get it now .. thx guys ,,,, hey i want to ask about backlight n trackwheel 8707v ... is the light in 8707v cannot set to be permanent very light ? why the light already set to 100 but still not light as the third times u click the light button ?

and is the trackwheel can be fast broken if we using trackwheel almost everyday ? and can we repair it by ourself ?

The backlight has a sensor to dim the lights when the ambient light is dark or usage is steady.

The trackwheel can break, and it can be repaired.

well, is anybody had an experience with the broken trackwheel ?

and what you do then after you know the trackwheel broken ? is the trackwheel can be repaired by our own self ?

is there any solution if the trackwheel broken and we can still use that 8707v control by " maybe press button " i " for up and "L" for go right , "J" for go left and " M " for go down .... ( i mean the cursor ) .is there any trick for this thing ?

jliverty, you asked me all this in a PM this morning and I answered it clearly.

You will need a trackwheel to operate certain facets of the 8707 BB, such as for sending an email, etc.

Is your trackwheel broken or not?
