Does Yahoo Mail (free, not plus) work with the Blackberry Curve 8330?

Question

I'm a customer with Verizon Wireless and am about to upgrade to my first "smart phone" ... and have decided on the Blackberry Curve 8330. I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on whether or not yahoo mail (not plus) can be set up to work with the Blackberry Curve ... has anyone had any luck with this? And if so, how do you set it up?

Also, I don't mean being able to check yahoo mail on the browser ... I mean being able to use yahoo mail as the default mail that the Blackberry is receiving.

Bonus points if you are a Mac OS X user and can tell me your experience with using this phone with your Mac (how to set up syncing and whatnot).

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Yes you can set up your yahoo email to the blackberry curve, you should be able to set up quite a few emails. You can set up to where you dont have to use the browser and they are sent to your phone kinda like a text message...its easy to set up. As far as details syncing it to a mac, sorry im no help in that area. Goodluck!

Answer 2

I am looking at getting the same phone and had the same question on the email. I talked to the Geek Squad at Best Buy and they told me you can NOT set it up with the Yahoo free email, only the plus. For the same reasons that we can't receive our free Yahoo through Outlook. Bummer, but it's really cheap to get the plus account, so that's what I'm checking into.
