I probably would not want to involve with Microsoft on a pager. I like the separation... I think that BlackBerry would be the best because I have seen many deaf people carrying a BB in their pouch. Note: One of the BB device is more stable and stronger than the other BB ones.
For the cost, it depends which area that provide you for the service.
I was told that you can use the BB on the relay service. SK has one, but it has to go to one company, and it has to go to another company to hook up the relay service. The BB goes straight to the relay at once. I am not sure what she means that it is free to email to anyone unlimited. I believe that it cost you per email.
She also said that it has a game on the screen, and it cost 10 dollars per month, and she doesn't want to pay that fee so she never use the game.
I went to the ASL Expo, and I learned that a BlackBerry with a curve button is frail if you drop it on the floor by accident. Most insurances are not covered in a water accident. So, just don't use it awhile you are sitting on the toilet. (Rolling up my eyes.)

I suggest you decide if it's something you NEED or WANT.
NEED is when there are things you feel you need to get by and nothing else matters. My Sidekick 3 is all I need. It gives me simple email, text messages, calendar, notes, etc... nothing fancy.
WANT is when there are things you want that's more than you need. Do you want to watch movies on your mobile device? Do you want to play music or send fancy colored emails? Do you want Google Maps? There are people who prefer the most recent device because everyone else has it or it makes them look like they are ahead of everyone else. Plus, they have a bunch of things they want cuz it looks "cool" and "awesome".
I have a few friends who have gotten devices that they WANTed and ended up not using those extra features. One friend said, "OMG! Look! I can play movies on my Blackberry Pearl!" *shows me a video clip* Months later, I met with him and the topic of pagers came up. I then asked him what movies he watched since we last met. He said... "None." I asked why and he told me that he never thought about it. So, he wasted a couple hundred bucks extra on something he never used.

It up to you what pager you want to get or buy. Everybody have different preference on what type of pager or cell phone they think what best for them. Speaking of Sidekick pager, it not just for kids. I don't believe giving kids pager cell phone until they are much older enough to be responbile to hande it. I use sidekick 2 cell phone pager and so far been using it 3 years and no problem with it.
