I see. The situation is the same in Germany, where Blackberry Internet Service is only offered to postpaid customers. But as I mentioned above I'm quite sure you won't get a postpaid contract (i.e. signing a contract) without residency and an Austrian bank account.
With Android you don't need any additional subscription on top of data service in order to get your eMails pushed (at least through GMail) and besides that there's even a Skype app. You can go to any country, get a local SIM with data service and access the internet.
The requirement to get a BIS subscription in order to use a Blackberry device is just one out of many reasons why I dislike Blackberries.
