I had a look and the only one that could propose internet access in France seems to be Orange (mobicarte service).
Mentions Legales :
Usages illimités et internet mobile en France métropolitaine. Communications jusqu¿à 250 correspondants différents, 3h max/appel hors nos spéciaux, courts et surtaxés. Usages Peer-to-Peer, Newsgroups et modem interdits, internet bloqué au-delà des 150 Mo ou 300 Mo selon la recharge. Offre soumise à conditions valable en France métropolitaine sur réseaux et mobiles compatibles.
Legal mentions :
Unlimited usage and mobile internet access in metropolitan France (not including Corsica or the french carribeans for example). Communications up to 250 different numbers, 3 hours maximum per call except for special numbers, short numbers and extra charge numbers. Peer to peer, newsgroup and modem use is forbidden. Internet blocked after the 150 megs or 300 megs bandwith you get with the prepaid card. Then legal blabla like "your phone has to be compatible" and so on.
They don't say anything about blackberry but I guess you won't have access to the Blackberry specific services like Blackberry messenger for instance. 150 megs or 300 megs goes away very quickly, you will need to be careful with your bandwith usage.
Also I forgot to say that Orange has dedicated stores, but I think you should be able to find a distributor easily. Prepaid cards can be found almost anywhere from tobacco shops to supermarkets, but be careful because they are specific for each company so don't buy one that is not from Orange because you wouldn't be able to use it.
