BB 8520 with Virgin Mobile

Just ordered one of the above as my contract was coming to an end with Orange. The reason I went with Virgin was mainly for money. My contract works at around £18~/month for 200mins, unlimited text and unlimited internet +free call to other Virgin users.

Ok, my question is:
First time that I will have a phone with Internet and email so I am complete novice. I have an Hotmail email address. Would I be able to setup that up on my BB with Virgin? This was really the main reason why I am taking this phone. I should have asked the question when I have ordered it, but I assumed it was ok. Since I have seen a few posts on different forum and now I am not so sure. If yes, is it easy to setup?

In advance many thanks.

JC

Sy1441, I have called Virgin directly and yes I am getting the Blackberry Internet Service in full, the guy I spoke to told me that I should be able to get my Hotmail address on it, let's hope that he is right. Thanks

If youve got the blackberry internet service your hotmail will work absolutely fine.
