The subsidy issue is the biggest barrier: Sell it too low without a contract, and customers could leave before the carrier breaks even; sell it too high and people won't buy it. Unfortunately, north america is one of the only regions where prepaid has such a negative stigma. In other parts of the world, it's simply a payment method, and often the dominant one. Once people overcome this and realize that it offers tremendous value, it will grow even more rapidly into the mainstream. Lastly, prepaid is also about flexibility, and I think people would be surprised how much money people will spend on a phone that offers features they want. I've seen prepaid users spend $300+ on a phone b/c they like it. The real cost is the service, for which they have full control over how much they spend. It'll be interesting to see how this evolves.

I do not really think the new Pearl of Storm is all that great, it just carries the brand name of a celebrity choice. So therefore, most people who get prepaid plans are worried about money, so I see it as highly uncharacteristic for many people to be worried about purchasing a Blackberry prepaid. The same is true of any of the newest large ticket Smartphones from the Blackberry, to the Android, to the Xperia X1 by Sony Ericcson. Hmm.. here’s the thing.
