some questions before I buy the IPhone

Hi Everyone.
I'm considering buying an IPhone next week, I currently have a blackberry (and a 7MB/month data plan on Rogers.)
I just have some questions I would love to be answered... I apologize in advance for these questions!!
1) If I buy the phone, I obviously have to unlock it, once it's unlocked, I read somewhere I have to unlock the Rogers SIM as well?
2) What features will NOT function on the IPhone once it's all unlocked and stuff?
3) This WIFI thing, does that work the same way as on computers? Where once in range, it's 'free' and you don't have to pay for it?
4) My 7 MB / Month data plan that I have for my blackberry, will that transfer onto the IPhone? Is it the same type of data connection?
5) My rogers email and Blackberry PIN number obviously won't work anymore, right?

Thanks so much in advance! I hope that's it!

- AJ

No, you don't need to unlock the SIM

Visual Voicemail will not work. You may experience problems with voicemail indications (my fido does not display waiting voicemail indicator)

Yes, and its awesome. ;-)

Probably... I'm not really familiar with blackberry accounts, maybe someone else has first hand experience there...

Roger's email could probably be made to work, but again someone else probably has more details.

Cheers
