Midsummer BlackBerry picking time and O2 has its finger in the pie, with a range of RIM [1]'s smartphones on Pay & Go in the offing.
BlackBerry Pearl 3G, available in black or purple exclusively for O2 at £250
BlackBerry Curve 8520, also comes in black or purple at £150
BlackBerry Curve 8900 at £280
BlackBerry Bold 9700 at £350
BlackBerry Storm 2 at £400.
Apparently, all are available to purchase from O2 online [2], however, only three were on show at time of writing. O2 suggests that those in search of an absent handset should head to a local store.
Buyers end up on O2's Pay & Go tariffs for BlackBerry [3] with a top up minimum of £15 in one month for inclusive BlackBerry Messenger and 500MB of data. Users get 500 text messages, rising to unlimited texts when £30 or more is spent.
O2 has also improved Pay Monthly tariffs for BlackBerry [4], offering 500 minutes, unlimited texts, Wi-Fi and 500MB data on 24 month contracts at £25pm. Those who pay more than £35pm get 1000 minutes and 750MB data. ®
