Prepaid  Cricket Wireless is now selling the BlackBerry Curve 8530 smartphone with their own kind of unlimited plan.

The BlackBerry Curve 8530 has a full-QWERTY keyboard, high-resolution 320 x 240
pixel color display, BlackBerry Messenger, and access to thousands of
applications via BlackBerry App World. It also features a  media
player with dedicated media keys integrated into the top of the handset,
a 2 MP camera with video recording, built-in GPS and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g)
as well as Bluetooth support, plus,  unlimited talk, text,
video and picture messaging capabilities offered on Cricket’s BlackBerry.

The BlackBerry Curve 8530 costs 9.99. The device will be
accompanied by Cricket’s true rate BlackBerry Plan, offering
unlimited nationwide talk, text, email, web browsing, picture mail, and
international text capabilities on Cricket’s all-3G network, and the
convenience and ease of a flat-rate monthly service plan that includes
all taxes and fees, except applicable sales tax.

Cricket recently changed the way they offer plans, they now include all the taxes and have slowing-down tiered data cap.

By offering industry-leading Smartphones, like the BlackBerry Curve
8530, Cricket is delivering the products people want at the prices they
can afford,” stated Al Moschner, Cricket’s chief operating officer. “Add
that to our new all-inclusive, true rate BlackBerry Plan that offers 3G
service at nearly half the cost of other 3G Smartphone plans in the
market, and Cricket is solidifying its position as the cost-conscious
provider, respecting the budgets and real-life needs of our customers
every step of the way.”

In case you missed it, the ipad has been jailbroken.
Something that I prediected would happen here ages ago.

A good resource on jailbreaking can be FOUND HERE.

What’s Spirit?

Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch on the latest firmwares.

Spirit is not a carrier unlock.

If you currently are using a tethered jailbreak, you have to restore to use Spirit.
Do not upgrade if you use an unlock on an iPhone 3G or 3GS. (You can, however, restore to 3.1.2 if you have SHSH blobs for that version.)
Requirements
Any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2.

An activated device: one not stuck on the Connect to iTunes or Emergency Call screen.
Any version of iTunes 9 (including 9.1.1).

Note: On iPad, all this is still sort of beta. Some packages in Cydia, not designed for iPad, might screw up your system and require you to restore. Be careful. (And no, Cydia’s appearance is not final.)

So this also jailbreaks 3gs it would seem. Yay for people who have newer devices.

About time huh?
What is your experience using Spirit? Anything special to share? Let us know.

Tesco Mobile (MVNO with O2) is entering the iPhone war, and certainly with attractive prices.

So watch the space and I hope the US will have soon the same competition as UK for the iPhone.
