It seems like there are some objective claims here that would be pretty easy to refute. Is it true that Blackberry handsets and plans have become inexpensive and are a good way for people without a lot of money to talk and message without the kind of big monthly bill that plagues more well-heeled people?

Is it some kind of value judgement to point this out, as something that's interesting to people who are interested in the mobile computing market?
