$25 - 500MB BIS Data (email / IM consumes data)
does that mean its only 500mb of data only for BB related stuff?
or would use of 3g also count into that?

^ Nope, the BIS plan is a superset of the normal plans. (i.e. you get an additional access portal to the BlackBerry servers.

wow...sweet, i really wanted to switch to rogers for their blackberry and data plans.
Looks like i'll wait for Fido to come out with the Blackberrys!
Which phones do you think they'll have? Bold? Javelin? Storm? Pearl?
Any news on that yet? From what i've read, they're only going to come out with the pearl 8100 first....which kinda sucks.

I heard they will have the Pearl, the flip, and then the javelin. the Bold and Storm will be for Rogers only.
