In all honesty, I've never really had much luck (or trouble for that matter) when calling the guys at vodafone, I've spoken to all kinds of dept's, I find that aslong as you tell them exactly what you want (BIS provisioning, or BES provisioning, have them apply the BB APN etc) then they're generally ok.

I think someone's been telling you porkies! or at the very least a few half truths.
Any BB handset can be used on either/both BIS and BES, a blackberry's a blackberry's a blackberry. It's all down to how it's been provisioned.

Almost exactly how I did it mate, however, I got my origional contract with vodafone on a standard mobile phone (P.O.S Samsung! *spits*), and managed to get my hands on a BlackBerry Pearl about half way through the contract, I just called up the standard helpdesk phone number, asked them to add the blackberry £5pm BlackBerry BIS package to my account and hey presto! It now hapily activates on my BES at home!
