| Blackberry 8520 on PAYG Orange with BT Internet email
I have BT (yahoo) Internet account that I use outlook at home to send / receive emails on and I was thinking about getting the above phone from the Orange store so I can get emails whist away from home. I have a few questions:
1) Bt Internet email
I know BT do a web based email and mobile based email but I would like to use the blackberry "push" feature (which I think is only available as PAYG on the Orange network) to get notification of new emails and also reply to them etc. Can this phone be setup to send / receive emails using bt/yahoo?
2) Blackberry pushing emails
I like the idea of the Blackberry as it has a "push" feature and I did have a conversation with the orange rep that its a good feature of blackberry as other different types of phones on PAYG need to be configured such that they regulaly "check for new email" which involves me making an outgoing data connection (and costs about 50p day).
3) WiFi at home
I know this phone does WiFi but how transparent is the use of it when I am at home? Does sending and receiving emails all happen via the WiFi connection (and thus is free?)
4) Any other phones / networks
Are there any other phones and networks i should be considering? I dont really want to spend more than £200 and it does need to be PAYG as email will be used more than phone/text messaging.
Can anyone here confirm if this is possible on this phone?
Thanks
Mark
