I went online & went throught the "buy a phone" process, and whaddaya know...the BB unlimited data plan was only $39.99. She said "it hasn't been updated yet on the website". She told me that the "BlackBerry People" said that if you activate the $39.99 data plan, it will work for two days then stop. Whether the Blackberry people to whom she was referring were internal to Sprint or RIM remains a mystery.

Anyone experienced this?
Sounds to me like Sprint is trying to get more $$$ from its customers.
Yep..you were just flat told wrong. You can sign up for either plan with the 8830...I have had both plans on mine and both work perfectly.
