As of the moment, I’m tired of thinking about BB or any complicated gadgets. 
My final decision for my BB is either of the following:
Thanks to reader Raych for this suggestion: Get a G-Flex 800 plan + ask Globe to activate my BIS for P450 = P1250 a month OR…
Get a G-Text 500 plan + ask Globe to activate my BIS for P450 = P950 a month OR…
Just fuckin’ wait for cellular companies to offer cheaper BB plans in the future. I mean, I can wait. I don’t need to use my BB just to surf. 
There are PROS and CONS: What do you guys think? 
****For new BB owners like me, please take note that Globe STILL has the Php450 BIS activation and the BB Personal Plans. They offer almost everything that you see in their website, except of course the Connected 24-ever which was re-launched and renamed Globe SuperSurf (24/7 unlimited mobile internet, P2000 a month). Beware of csr’s that offer ONLY SuperSurf. Seems to me that not all of them are knowledgeable with their products and services.

Welcome lovers & haters! I'm Czarina Maye. I'm editing my blog. BRB.
Maye! I’m on BB too and I don’t have BIS
Since you’re on 8520 you have wifi naman so use that muna. You can use the Facebook app coz your phone is globe-locked. You have the GPRS settings and everything. Search for the 1.6 version of FB and replace the updated one and you’re good to go. Mine kasi is open line so the only way I could have the GPRS service book is to subscribe to the BIS service… something na I refuse to get since it’s too expensive. Wait for the prepaid BIS 
I’m guessing it’s coming around December!
There are a lot of apps naman you could use through wifi
TwitterBerry, UberTwitter, TwixTreme, Vodafone Update, Parlingo, Instango
