    Can you get internet access anywhere with a blackberry?

    Im a little technologically backward when it comes to cell phones and what you can and cant do with the good ones.

    Can you get internet access almost anywhere with a blackberry? I used to think that with a wireless connection on a laptop, you could go anywhere and have access to the internet. But I quickly learned this is bullshit unless you are in a very small defined 'hotspot' zone where wireless access is available. Is it the same deal with blackberries?

    If not, what kind of speeds are typical? And how much are the charges?

                    its like 20 bucks more a month for unlimmy data

                    <3 my black berry

                    and, if you read up on it, you can teather your blackberry to your laptop and youll get signal to your lappy via your bb

                    connection isnt fast at that point, but its hella better then 56k heh

                    great for airports.. fuckin 8 bucks
                    want to buy this spot for cheap? it is of course for sale. long term deals are always the best bet. brand0n/ at/ a o l dot commies.

                            It works anywhere you have cell coverage (where I live, only Cingular/ATT offers coverage and that's because we're the highest point in the town so we have a tower on our mountain ;) ).

                            I have the unlimited plan and love it. I know this sounds stupid, but I use Google the most of anything. Especially if I'm trying to get somewhere. I can Google the address and then plug it into my GPS. I also use it a lot when I'm reading to the point where I take it outside with me ONLY so I can look up words I don't know

                            I LOVE my Blackberry!!! (and I can text so fast I amaze myself ;) )
