Where to buy a used Blackberry?

[seminolecpa]

I have an ATT blackberry curve that is pretty well shot (the trackball doesn't register whne I push it). Trying to find something to temporarily replace it till I can have my work pay for a new one in about 5 months.

Anyone have any suggestions?

An iphone?

ebay (only 84,000 to choose from)or CL

Can't do an i-phone unfortunately with work (at least for now). Are the phones you buy on ebay or CL ok to buy and use?

Who's your carrier for that crackberry?

AT&T

CL and ebay phones should be fine if they are for AT&T.

Bryan I might have a Curve you can use. If I can't find it I have a Motorola Ming that you can you for a while. Both are ATT phones. I will let you know if I find the Curve.

Thanks Brian. It has to be a blackberry though.

Ok I will know if I still have the Curve tomorrow. If so I can bring it to the BOD meeting if you want.

Should be fine then. Just pop that SIM chip out and use it in another phone.

Taxi lost and found. My dad runs a small taxi business and surprisingly no one ever claims their lost phones. We usually find them during cleaning time between the cushions so by then they're out of service and we cant turn them on/ find the original owner. The most common phone is a black berry

Tim,

Would you say try to contact a taxi company to see if they have any?

This is a wierd situation where in I am on my 3rd phone during my 2 year period. The first got lost when I was on CalTrain, the second got dropped in my fish tank, now this one which was a used one from work it failing badly as the track ball doesn't seem to work or works sporadically. Thus I decided it might be best if I replace it on my own vs. having my company replace it. I just need something to get me by till like August/September until I am eligible for a new phone from AT&T. Anyone knows buying a phone out of contract costs a ridiculous amount.

Hey Brian,

There is this guy in Fremont that has a business of selling and buying used cell phones. I work in the office besides his.

You can check his inverntory online. Might not be as cheap, but it's local.

Roberto,

That might be a good option. The prices seem to be fine and I could care less on how nice it looks, just as long as it works. I may try to head over there today and see what he has in stock. Thanks for the heads up.

Bryan if it is just the track ball that stop working give this a try. It is defenetly the cheap option.
