Hello,

If I'm not mistaken, there's no AIM for the Blackberry 8700. However, you can get a third-party IM client.

What site were you looking at the 8700 if I may ask?

i was just looking at amazon and deafpagers.com

they did not say that it had AIM but i remember hearing that you could, so would that fall under unlimited data, does anyone have a blackberry and use AIM?

Have not been here for awhile - but I can answer your question. the 8700 does come with an IM client called OZ which lets you use IM with AOL, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo! IMs. Personally, I am using the RambleIM.

I now advice you to stay away from OZ, the default IM client on your blackberry 8700. It uses SMS (text) messages rather than the data - so it will eat up your free 300 text messages fast, and before you know it, you will owe .10 cents for each text message. Stick with Ramble or another client if you can. Avoid OZ.

I am not here to courage you to stay away from OZ. I can see people did not give you the specify infomation what t-mobile offer:

Text, Instant, Picture & Video Messaging

Any 400 Messages: $4.99 per month*

Any 1000 Messages: $9.99 per month*

Unlimited Messages: $14.99 per month

NOTE* .10 cents for each text message.

Messaging Overview

OZ Instant Messaging actually uses SMS (text) messages instead of the data - If you select the unlimited messages as its up to you.

Did you know that BlackBerry now supports the following instant messaging platforms: ( go see site

http://www.blackberry.com/YahooDownload/index.do and http://www.blackberry.com/GoogleTalk/index.do, they using the data instead of TEXT SMS for free!

I believe blackberry will support AIM on BB device in future events soon!

Good luck for the choice you makes..
