Both the Blackberrys and Pre require data plans that are not a part of your current plan. When the Pre was first introduced, you had to have a Simply Everything plan of some sort. Even folks who had SERO plans (like myself) had to switch to get the new services that the phone provides. With the Blackberry, you need a plan that has Blackberry services, since all internet/email/data access is through the Blackberry servers, not Sprint (or Verizon or AT&T or Tmobile). I went with a Blackberry instead of a Pre, but still had to change my SERO plan to an Everything plan. The best you will most likely be able to do is get a Simple Everything Plus plan, which gives you a little bit of a price break (with more minutes) over the standard plans.
Sprint was pretty adamanat that anyone getting a new phone would have to move to the new plan structures. This was a hotly debated topic before the Pre was released, and has pretty much died down now that it is the accepted policy to get the newer technology.
