read what this guy says about blackberry's and t-mobile
Getting your Blackberry To use your T-MobileWeb (the new T-Zones)
This is the big one. Everyone would love to get away with only paying $5 for what they were paying $20 or $30 for.
The trick is you have to call T-Mobile and ask to get the "BlackBerry Feature Enabler" turned on. It's a FREE service from t-mobile.
The trick is that you have to get that service (the "BlackBerry Feature Enabler") and probably on a different call get T-MobileWeb on your account. The customer service rep will have trouble and she/he will not want, or "be able" to add both those services at once so you'll have to call back and explain you have a new RAZR that you want to switch to, or something like that, so that's why you need both the "BlackBerry Feature Enabler" package (again it's free) AND the T-MobileWeb (one to be able to send MMS on your blackberry, and the other for your RAZR to be able to surf the internet)
If you manage to get both, then all of a suddent your blackberry will be surfing for $5.99 a month.
Unfortunately I did NOT get a chance to try this. (I've been looking into this solution for a long time) but I got this information from a very good source, and it should work.
