    Hi everyone, I'm trying to find and buy a BlackBerry Classic Unlocked in Miami Beach, Florida but I have failed. I went to a BestBuy and they told me they ran out of stock in all stores. I went to every cellphone and electronic store, negative. Some people don't know what the Classic is!!! . I'm leaving tomorrow, Sunday 16th afternoon, I'm running out of time and options. Yeah, I know, I should have ordered it online at ShopBlackBerry but I thought I will found it at BestBuy. Amazon, with the fastest shipping method arrives on Tuesday, so option discarded. My only option is Walmart?! I called BlackBerry at 866-... but no one answer me. I DM BlackBerryHelp on Twitter but they can't answer my question.

    Please help me! btw, if I'm lucky enough to find it, it will be my first bb.

    Thanks a lot!

    You can always purchase a locked one and get it unlocked.

    I live in the UK and had real issues trying to find one I could even look at in a store, let alone buy one. The only place I could find was Dixons Travel in airports. The salesman in one of the O2 stores told me that the BlackBerry rep kept visiting them with hope in her eyes asking if any had been sold, but he said that without a demo version it is very difficult to entice people. Seems like a very strange sales strategy to me.

    Why do you have to have in now...can't you wait until you get back or order it online and have it sent to wherever you're going?

    When you gotta have it you gotta have it. I know. I wasn't up for an upgrade but I told my boss if he couldn't get it for me I'd buy it myself. While he was on vacation!! Mainly because only one Tmo store had one in stock for 100 miles. Needless to say he approved it and I got it the next day. Get it by any means necessary!!

    I didn't drive 100 miles. There was only one close to me about 3 miles but none in stock at tmobile stores with 100 miles so I had to act quickly if I was to get one in hand and not have to order it.

    Huh... Amazon, shopbb.... buy it online. ( yes I know you want it now but I don't care) This is the easiest method of buying it. Amazon can do one day shipping I believe.

    Well, if you haven't gotten yours yet, just order one from Amazon if you have Prime shipping.

    I'm not from the UK but I've always imported my BlackBerry phones from clove.co.uk

    They have a nice selection of devices and they were always in stock in all color options.

    I went online in the end via Amazon. Depends on whether you want to see it before you buy - if you don't need to then grit your teeth and wait for delivery. But I still think that BlackBerry need to have a few more models out there on display to show non-believers what they're missing
