Blackberry without a contract question

[CanadianCpuStar]

As of right now, I do not need a cell phone for social interactions. However, I would like one for the Wifi.

My main use would be to check my email. I'm expecting a life changing email in the next few months and do not like using my main computer.

Because of my profession, I've been told to stick to Blackberries. I also prefer a QWERTY keyboard. I do not care about a camera, but if it comes with one, then great.

Can you use calling cards with any of these phones?

I apologize for what may be 'noob' questions, but the cell phone industry confuses the heck out of me.

Is there a Blackberry for under 200$ that will adhere to my specifications?

Blackberry phones do not use calling cards.

The only carrier that I know of which carries a Blackberry without a contract is Boost Mobile. They have the Blackberyy Curve 8530 for $180. While there is no contract you must get the $60 per month unlimited plan. The monthly plan decrease $5 after every 6 months down to $45 after a total of 18 months.
