I understand why blackberry data doesnt work but why can't wap work? Please explain this to me and not just say with out the blackberry data plan no data for you on the blackberry

Sorry..

Without a BlackBerry Data Plan, all you will have is voice and SMS. Medianet doesn't mean a thing to a BlackBerry and no one else can tell you anything differently.

OK...simplify this for me...my BB arrives later this week. I have two unlocked phones (T616 and V3), both of which began life on networks other than Cingular. I can throw my SIM card into either and, with the right settings for data, they both access MediaNet just fine (for a gazillion $ of course). I also link them to my iPAQ and browse in Pocket IE (for a gazillion $ of course).

In words of one syllable or less, why will a BB not do the same? No WAP browser? Is there some way that Cingular can determine the difference between a V3 on their WAP network and a BB on their WAP network if the SIM and the settings are identical?

Thanks.
