My sister has an old blackberry curve or im not sure what it is its just a really old blackberry. She wants to add a pay as you go plan to it because it doesnt have service. It doesnt have a sim card. So how do i get a sim card and add pay as you go plan to her phone? Is there a way to just buy a sim card and add service without buying a new phone? If not should she just buy a free gophone and then put the sim that comes with the new one in the blackberry? She just wants the simple 25 cent per miniute 20 cent pet send/recieved message plan. Will they know that its in a blackberry and charge us for the pda plan? Will they terminate the sim or charge us extra etc. Thanks. Please dont say just get a contract or throw out the blackberry!

I like the look of a ‘real’ phone w/ a separate PDA, more so than a Palm Pilot -like device that happens to be a phone, which is one of the many reasons I like the Blackberry Curve. I do like my fiancé’s iPhone and the variety of apps but I don’t know how much I would like it as a phone full-time.

For those of you who have an iPod Touch and use a separate phone, do you wish it was all-in-one or are you happy with your set-up?

“Research in Motion, the Waterloo, Canada-based company behind the iconic Blackberry smartphones is rumored to have snapped up DataViz, a Milford, CT.-based company that is well known for making mobile productivity suite, Documents to Go. The CT-based company makes this extremely popular app for all major smartphone platforms including iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Nokia’s Maemo. It also supports the iPad. DataViz recently suspended work on the WebOS version of the suite. The rumors of the acquisition first appeared on the Crackberry Blog which apparently has received confirmation from multiple sources for the deal. RIM is said to have paid $50 million. In addition, they point out on LinkedIn many of the DataViz employees are now listing RIM as their employer. Both RIM and DataViz have not made any official announcements. I am waiting to hear back from RIM and DataViz, though I am not expecting any one to respond, considering today is a holiday on account of the Labor Day. If the rumors are indeed true, then RIM has made a great buy. Unlike the Cellmania purchase, this one actually makes a lot of sense and I would put it right next to last year’s acquisition of WebKit browser maker, Torch Mobile. Given how much of Blackberry is used inside the enterprise, it makes perfect sense for RIM to add apps for the enterprise to its arsenal. The company despite a higher install base than some of its newer rivals has struggled to capture the imagination of developers. Many of the best Blackberry apps are infact being made by RIM itself. DataViz’s products would also be ideally suited for the company’s rumored iPad competitor.” via gigaom.com
