I rather prefer using Blackberry over most other smartphones because of its efficiency and ability to integrate with my online workload. I think the Z10 around here sells for over £299...does that offer of theirs come with an actual plan or is it just for the gadget itself? Some providers offer 0 cashout but the phone comes in a plan where you are locked for a year or two...depending on how you use your mobile, it may come out as a better deal actually.
