I'm looking at getting a 7100t from the US - it's unlocked (legally).

A few questions for those of you that may be more familiar with the devices:

(1) Do I have to use the VFNZ Blackberry plan?
Or can I just use a data plan with my current voice plan?

(2) Can I use the push email service from Consilient? (http://www.consilient.com/push/consumer/)
It's only US$5 per month (I realize I'd have data charges on top).
I've spoken to customer services @ consilient and they seem to think there would be no problem, but thought I might run it past everyone here 8-).

(3) Can I use the web browser on the Blackberry?
Or do I need to be on a Blackberry plan?


Anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks for your help.
