New to Blackberry

Ok, so I've been searching the Internet and have had some issue finding answers to a few questions I have about Blackberry on Verizon. I currently have a Moto Q9c, but will be eligible for upgrade in September. I'm about to graduate from college and as much as I've loved my Qs, I think it's time for an "adult" upgrade : ) Purely based on looks, I've been looking into the 8330, 8830, and (after checking out these boards...) the Tour.

-So my first question is what benefits do each of those phones hold over the others? I would primarily be using it for texting, emailing, and calling with little internet use probably.

-In addition, I'm very attached to my Macbook... Does anyone use their Blackberry with a Mac? If so, what program do you use? How do you like it, etc?

-Lastly, I know I need a data and email plan for a Blackberry. I'm on my family's plan and I already have unlimited texting. Is it true that there is an unlimited data/email plan for $29.99? I saw that info on some other websites but it sounded way too good to be true I thought.

 Thanks in advance!!!

The feature 29.99 is your internet and email yes. There is software on blackberrys website for the mac.  http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/mac.jsp

 

And to be honest in all the time I have been around the 29.99 I think your the first that has said it sounds to good be true. :smileyhappy:

I can say myself from personal use, that the Blackberry has been stable and reliable. If you want little worry, and a functional device then Blackberry is a great way to go.

 

I have liked it cause there is not a load of crap on the blackberrys, stuff that you would not really ever use. 

 

The tour does seem the best option coming up. Plan on getting it myself. The keyboard comes in really handy. Versus the touch screen.

You can use pocketmac on your blackberry, as Brothergrim suggested visit http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/mac.jsp for your pocketmac software.

 

The world is finally catching up with Mac, the blackberry and the Mac together are going to be a blast , you'll love it if you take the time to really make everything work together.  Best of luck and keep us all updated as you graduate college (congratulations!!  that's an awesome accomplishment!) and purchase your Tour.
