  1. Can you please confirm if the 299 plan allows limited surfing like search over google. I remeber walking up to a promotion stall at a mall for the 8250 where they told me that limited access such as google search was available in the 299 plan... but in one of the airtel showrooms I was told that its mail access only :(

  2. Though it is a low cost blackberry but except for lack of 3G service it has all the high-end features of a BB. I have been using it for a year now and quite satisfied with its services.
