How much do you pay for Blackberry service?

$80 a month for Internet over a cell/smartphone is not that much. If you have a 2.5G phone, you had WAP/wHTTP at a rate of up to 130kb, cellular systems in San Diego for PC's were about $40+ a month (PCMCIA card needed, about $200). Kids (those below 25 years of age) in South Korea spend upwards to $300 a month just doing SMS.

How much do you pay to get email on your phone? This can be done via Blackberry, Palm or CE based phones. It is less than you would pay for WiMAX in Seattle, WA (roughly $500 or $800 a month if you are in range of the Space Needle, http://www.speakeasy.net/business/wimax/pricing.php).
