what if i really want this phone, but i have an iphone? i can just use my sim card with this and the iphone correct? i am concerned about the package though. since i pay 40 for the "iphone package" (unlimited text & browsing) does anyone know if i will also need to purchase a "blackberry package" or if its just a standard at&t package?

an iPhone and Blackberry SIM swapping scenario isn't going to work too hot with the iPhone SIM. For a Blackberry to function, the SIM has to be placed on a Blackberry Plan. This makes it so it actually runs on a different network segment than typical phones. So you can use a Blackberry SIM in a regular phone, but not the other way around. I have my Windows Mobile phone registered on the Blackberry network so I can use ActiveSync or Blackberry connect. The iPhone on the other hand complicates things a bit. An iPhone won't work with a SIM unless it's been activated in the phone, or you Jailbreak it. So the only shot at using the same SIM in both phones is with a Blackberry enabled SIM. The only shot of using a Blackberry enabled SIM in an iPhone is by Jailbreaking it.
