Thanks Patrick.  The free trial we have is with O2/Genesis, and we also

Vodafone chasing us as well (30 handset deal).  We are using BES/corporate
mail though, and the deal is more or less =A325 p/m unlimited, and an

for roaming, but we'll be shopping around at the end of the trial.  We're

7230's, but obviously like the look of the 7730.  If there was a Bluetooth
version, then my P900 would be history.

I'm a blackberry addict. Fantastic. But as an e-mail only device, not=20

I'd recommend investigating T-mobile's offerings if you aren't going=20

unlimited e-mail for about a tenner a month, and don't seem to charge=20

Makes Vodafone and O2's efforts look like a rip off. (45 quid a=20
month - splutter).
