Found a blackberry phone on the ground...

[Eagle]

I didn't pay chit for mine... my work paid for it.

I'm not at the point of robbing somone at gun point yet. i'll try to make it a few more months before i resort to robbing places or people.

Man, seriously sucks to hear folks like yourself out there suffering. Hope it gets better for you soon.

who the hell spends $500 on a phone. wtf.

It's significantly less with a 2 year plan.

who said you need a gun

id sell it too if i found it but verizon is as said, gsm so the info is locked into and pointless to sell. if it was a sim card fone then why not.

Cause of comments like this I think of switching over to Verizon. I lost my razor back when they first came out with ATT (cingular at the time), never got it back and I know exactly where I left it. An employee of Bouna Beef stole it, I have since not been at a Bouna Beef again. If it didnt use a SIM card, the phone may have been returned as it would be no use for the person that found it.

She said it was a $500 phone new so he's lucky that it was returned. who the hell spends $500 on a phone. wtf.

As said above, just cause its worth $500 doesnt mean it costs that much. With a 2 year contract these phones are at least half price, sometimes as cheap as $100 bucks. But otherwise, I agree... I would never pay $500 for a phone.

Oh also, with your insurance theory, as someone else said earlier, most of these high-end phones are not even offered insurance even if you wanted it. My blackjack 2 years ago was not offered with any kind of insurance.

I used to go to the Buona Beef in Hoffman Estates that was off higgins (i think, maybe golf rd.) all the time. Delicious.

Recently thought I lost my phone, so I had insurance and got a new one. Then the same day the phone was shipped, I found mine. So I have a brand new in box Blackberry Storm for sale. This is a $500 phone. Im willing to let it go for $250. I know its only $200 when you start up a contract, but if you feel like paying $50 less for a 2 year contract then go for it. $250 obo. Thanks.

p.s. These phones go for over $300 on CL.

no dice

I stopped in a verizon store near my house this morning and they got the phone working and checked out the serial number. it was reported lost/stolen. They looked up his name and info so he can come pick it up at the store. She said it was a $500 phone new so he's lucky that it was returned. who the hell spends $500 on a phone. wtf.

its only 200 with a new accnt or a upgrade. i got a 650$ one but was only 200.

Gotta log in to view. Fail.

Also, I thought crackberrys had a kill command that would nuke the phone if lost.

Upon reading more....

on MWIR, he started his FS thread on the 7th, the day SS posted that he had it, so yea, no dice.

Just found it interesting

Much like that of a poison capsule a secret agent swallows when caught.

 

[sickmint79]

i got it like the day after it came out fer 130 with new plannage. only apple idiots would pay $500 for a phone.

 

[Fish]

They dont pay that either.

 

[sickmint79]

They have to be connected to a BES I believe.

if you knew your IMEI number you could've reported it stolen and it would've been flagged.
you can view the IMEI number, on most phones by entering "*#06#". so even if you don't get the phone back, the scum bag that took it can't use it.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

whoa man thats a long number that popped up.

 

[Jennifer]

I'm glad it was returned. That was the right thing to do.
