I'm sure that your provider can do a better work at it, just call them and ask. I called Orange this afternoon an, at least here in Spain, the plan names don't matter. You can get the Blackberry Foo and Windows Mobile Bar plans without a specific device, they don't care. In fact, they have a interesting Blackberry labeled plan which offers unlimited POP and IMAP traffic to your server (you need to give them the ip when you sign the contract). I've started thinking of setting up a proxy listening on port 110 and configuring the Neo for using it for all the internet traffic[1], so I can get unlimited internet access for 12 €/mo.
