With the Blackberry 8830 World Phone's USB cable can you get online on a laptop thru the Blackberry anywhere?
Also, data plans are separate from voice plans, right? So, I'll be paying Sprint for 2 different plans if I get the new Blackberry? I currently just have a voice plan on my phone with text messaging. If I switch to the Blackberry, does text messaging still come out of my voice plan or will it come out of my data plan? Does anyone know if I can get online or use the voice plan or in Kenya (Africa) or South Africa? Do I pay extra roaming rates when I'm out of the country? Lastly, do I get full internet access, as in, will I be able to see all of the websites the same as if I were on a pc or laptop?
Thanks in advance for your help.

No, you cannot get online via your laptop through your BlackBerry.
Yes, data and voice are both needed to receive full functionality of your BlackBerry (phone, email, web browsing, etc.)
Your text messages should still be allocated from your voice portion, however, you if you have an unlimited data plan you could use you email to send text messages if you have a limit on how many text messages you can send for free a month.
Depending on your cell phone provider you can use your BlackBerry in Kenya and South Africa (voice and data work on Cingular). I have had several colleagues travel to both countries and they had much success with their devices, of course if you travel to rural locations there may not be coverage.
Most providers do have additional charges for roaming, however you can add international coverage to your plan in most cases. This should reduce the cost. It can cost up to $4.99 a minute for phone calls, so check with your provider on rates.
Yes you get full internet access, within the boundaries of the device. Meaning, not all scripts and applications will run. Some sites will show in a modified form or 'mobile' form, that shortens download times and also reduces the amount of your data plan you use, if you do not have unlimited service.
I hope this information helps.
