Prepaid DATA for Blackberry in Germany

Is this still true? My wife has a BB and is thinking of getting a contract with Base. As I hate contracts (and especially German Laufzeitverträge, with their annoying automatic renewal if you fail to cancel three months ahead of time, etc.), I was hoping there might be a way of just using it with Fonic or something. And the Base contract has expensive SMS, roaming, and international calls, so it's far from ideal for everything else she uses the phone for. (Note: I do not have a BlackBerry and have no idea how they work.)

yes, unfortunately it is still true. The only way to activate the BB services is given for special contracts, mostly business tariff contracts...
