Can't get Nokia E61i to browse internet when Blackberry Connect is configured

I have a Nokia E61i that I'd like to use to receive push email via
Blackberry Connect AND browse the internet. With t-mobile's Unlimited
Internet plan for $30/mo I can browse the web but I can't hit the Blackberry
Connect server. With the Blackberry Internet plan for $20/mo I can get the
Blackberry push email, but I can no longer browse the web. The last tech
support person at t-mobile told me that the only way I'd be able to do both
is to include BOTH plans on my account, an option I find absurd.

Is there a trick to get this to work? Am I doing something wrong?

It is absurd. You can use the $20 BB plan for both.

The $20 BB data plan uses the wap.voicestream.com APN, whereas the $30
Total Internet plan uses the internet2.voicestream.com APN. Setting the
correct APN in your data settings should do the trick.

Keep in mind that plan changes take up to 48 hours to kick in (but
usually only about 2 or 3 hours,) so there's a chance that the web might
not work immediately.
