Need Blackberry plan?

[Spider92]

I'm thinking of getting a Blackberry.  Do I need to get the separate Blackberry plan which I think is an extra $40 per month?  I was wondering if it was a requirement.

All Blackberry devices on the VZW network will require a minimum of a $29.99 data plan for unlimited web browsing and unlimited email for up to 10 personal email accounts.

The $44.99 data plan is only if you need to use it with a Blackberry Enterprise Server or a similiar coporate environment.
