THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

Meh!

This company was great as always - fast delivery with no problems. Cannot really recommend the phone though: Bought it to use as a basic cell phone and then take advantage of the WiFi since I spend most of my life in a WiFi zone. However, what BB does not want you to know is that most BB apps only work with a data plan - there is nothing I've found to be functional and useful on WiFi alone. Also, the phone cannot be upgraded past OS 4.5 - all new apps are on OS 6, so be prepared to be disappointed again. So, unless you're willing to buy a data plan this phone is just a fat cell phone - and if you can afford a data plan why would you buy a slow, old 2G phone?? Get an Android phone instead!

OK, but not great compared to other blackberries

I had this phone for my company cell phone. It's better than your average cell phone, but not great compared to other blackberries. For starters, this phone would have up to a 15 minute delay on receiving emails despite settings being verified with IT so that it would arrive ASAP. When my company upgraded me to the Tour, I often received my emails BEFORE they came through to outlook on my computer. Call quality isn't entirely dismal, but the signal isn't the strongest and my BB curve and Tour both had better clarity.

Good deal

I love this little phone, very handy. This was a replacement for another phone that i got, that i did not like and it was broken. I want to give kudos to this site for using PDA giant warranty service, they bring back the meaning to customer service. It is a good phone, im happy with the service and replacement.

Berrys are UNBEATABLE!

I must say that no other cell phone I have ever had compares to my new Blackberry. I love this phone and reccommend it to EVERYONE! It really has awesome features and I especially love the BBMing. I'd love if anyone could give me some sort of feedback to let me know if I can use this phone on a prepaid plan like Straight Talk? It would be saving me over $500 a year by switching and I would be getting great coverage. Thanks!
