Exclamation Unlocked Phone?
I just received my BB pearl today from ebay. The site said that it was unlocked, but originally running on tmobile. I am currently a tmobile customer and since having the BB my signal is terrible... It is constantly saying searching or is just in a dead spot, with my old phone I was running on 3g. What can I do to help this?

bb pearl w/ trackball does not have 3g service- it only has edge.
maybe there's something wrong with the antenna?
