I sell things on ebay, which i use the blackberry to get the emails sent to me when i am not at home. The money i make from ebay then pays for my blackberry and the plan i am on. It’s sort of my money but becasue of excess funds i am able to pay the hefty bill.

I don’t know if I could justify paying for it myself if they stop.

Nextel (7520) T-Mobile (7100t) and AT&T now Cingular (7280). My company pays for one of them. I could not go back. T-Mobile does unlimited berry for $20. Everyone should have one. Since I started using berry, my wife, mom, brother and sister in law, another brother in law, and 11 employees have all started using berry. There is no going back.

Short story – “Pry my Berry out of my hands after you kill me dead”

I have had it for less than a week, and like it already. I’m not sure I would continue if my employer quit paying, but who knows.

Not sure what I would do if they stopped. I’d probably continue paying for it.

I probably couldn’t afford both on my own.

I would pay for service myself, however I would move to T-mobile as their service is more affordable than Nextel!

Two years ago when I approached our CIO, I was a VP of Business Development and always out of the office. I was using my own phone (Sony Ericsson p800 then later Treo 600) to get my email, but it was tough. The CIO told me that there was no way that we would ever get Blackberrys. It’s two years later, we have a BES and 25+ users, and I just became the division President! I would absolutely keep the BB if the company didn’t pay for it, at least until something better came along! Like the Electron ;-) .
