FWIW....

I just activated an 8830 on Sprint's network, and the agent INSISTED that the ONLY data plan that would work with the 8830 was the $69.99 world plan. (I was dumbfounded...have never paid more than $44.99/mopnth for data from ANY carrier!)

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.
