Hi everyone, I know that the question of whether you are required to have a data plan if you have a blackberry has been asked and answered several times as I have searched the forums for responses. I am now writing my version of the question....and I will tell you why. I needed a device that syncs with MS Outlook calendar...and is a good phone. I can't afford $30 or $60 dollars for any additional plans but my work uses the Outlook calendar for everything. I DON'T want email on my phone and I would love a device with browsing/wi-fi but I will let go of that. I have been using a Samsung i760 for the past four months and basically....I hated it. Poor design, slow OS, etc. but it did sync with outlook. Since I am on a month-month plan (until I know what phone I am using), I was nursing the phone along and looking forward to the Palm Pre coming in January....but not anymore....and now, the i760 is broken. Which leads me back to needing a good phone that syncs with Outlook. I have read that if I order the BB data plan and then cancel it, the phone will still work (and so would the direct sync with Outlook). Has anyone done this....?? Any other suggestions? thanks
