Been looking at these blackberry storms, they look great,

do the maps and GPS and all that shit work over here then? Do I need any special sim card or owt?

oh...and how much are they? ta

NorthernLad

Got a one from work, I hate them.

GPS is not too bad, I just hate the whole idea of Blackberrys.

english I hope?

I have had various ones for years. They are fine provided you don't let them rule you. It means I can be out & about all day and still keep tabs on my business (especially important when you work for yourself).

Currently have a Blackberry Bold and yes it has maps & stuff on it. Price - just over Dhs 3k, I think. You then get certain packages from Etisalat dependent upon required usage.

hwo much, roughly, do you spend a month on it?

i have one. my monthly bill is around 2K

pain in the ass....totally

There are three monthly packages available from Etisalat – an unlimited domestic package at AED 185, an unlimited global package at AED 295, and a limited 3MB per month package at AED 130.

I have the unlimited domestic package at Dhs 185 per month.

Once you have bought your blackberry, you use your SIM card and add some codes for the package you require. I'll pay over the odds when I am away, but I don't travel as much as I did and you can also change packages.
