Does they have AIM and MSN? I just curious but weren't on feature list.
 
I just got a blackberry 7290 and it didn't have AIM or Yahoo either.. I wondered the same thing..
 
All Blackberries have various AIM/MSN/Yahoo/ICQ programs. Some are free, some are not. For AIM, there is a free program called Ramble (http://wireless.sra.com/ramble) that can be downloaded and used on the Blackberry. I've been using it for several months now. For some other Blackberries, AIM/Yahoo/MSN/ICQ is included, but you have to pay extra because every "message" you send is really an SMS and you have to pay extra for SMSes.

Google Talk is free and downloadable from Google.

really? does need pay per one message, additional price for other message?
 
If you don't have a plan that gives you, say, 500 SMSes or unlimited SMSes then, yes, you pay something like $0.10 or something like that, per message.

Unlimited SMS is usually something like $10 to $15 more a month on top of a plan of $29.99 or $39.99 a month. That's also separate from insurance, taxes, and whatever else you put on your plan.
 
I do have 7280 AIM on my list and yahoo too...
but have not upgrade MSN on my blackberry... :)
