I'm thinking of getting a Blackberry 8800 on orange when I upgrade my phone
next month. What I am wondering is how the push email system works on it and
if I'm charged a lot more than I usually would be on a basic phone. I use
email more and more on my mobile so this is something that really interests
me. If anyone can help me out on the charges and packages I should go for on
it then it would be much appreciated.

Blackberry service costs an extra £10-14 depending on which voice tariff
you go for. That includes 6Mb of blackberry data which doesn't sound a
lot but the blackberry servers do a lot of compression which means in
practice you'll never get near 6Mb.
There's a particular web address you go to to configure your email
accounts (you can use up to 10 of your existing POP3 email accounts) and
then the emails just start coming to your device.

Seems like Vodaphone offer the best deals on the Blackberrys from what I
have seen - I can get the Blackberry 8800 for free with their 17.50 tarriff
and then add on the 120mb web usage for 7.50.

Are you sure?
I understood that you can only have one data service with Vodafone.
