n0s Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I want to get a blackberry or a similar smartphone but i'm stuck in the middle of my Verizon service contract and I don't want to pay full price for a new one. Does anyone know of a good site where I can buy a used or refurbished smartphone to get activated, or even a reputable ebay seller because alot of them look a little shady.

thecoalition Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) just go to ebay and find a seller with a high rating.personally i have a motorola q (the first series) and its a tank.it does everything i want it to, including the email portion, and its durable.i put it through my wall (drywall) a few nights ago and it turned off but then right back on.still works 100% fine. the wall however now needs to be spackled and patched.

Jeff_T Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm a member of HowardForums, its a cell phones/telecommunication/etc forum, they have a buy and sell sections for non-gsm phones (mainly CDMA) which verizon is on. There are a few BlackBerry Pearls on there and some other stuff. Check it out..ForumBuy/Sell ThreadI would say that all the members on there are very reliable, and very knowledgeable. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
