Upgraded to BB 8310 for $99...
- Hi,
Got the Crimson 8310 from an AT&T outlet store just now, for $99 (upgrade with 2 yr contract and $29.99 data plan). [ 50% off for thanksgiving !!. $100 mail-in rebate))
Just finished the setup wizard ( 13 steps ) and when I returned to the main screen, there were 3 messages waiting in the messages folder.
2 of them were under todays date (Nov 21, 2007). But the 3rd one was under a date "sept 07, 2007" from "blackberry" with a subject "Registration" stating that "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network"
Where does this Sept 07, 2007 message come from when I got the phone just today (Nov 21, 2007)...Any idea ? Did anyone get such a message with an older date ? How did the handheld get registered on Sept 07, 2007 - a whole 2 month back ?????????11-21-07 09:21 PMLike 0 - Don't know why or how it happens but this has happened to my on all of my BB's with bot VZW and TMO.11-21-07 09:23 PMLike 0
- Just got off the phone with AT&T tech support. The first question he asked was where I purchased the phone from : 1) AT&T online store 2) AT&T authorized store 3) Some kiosk/cart in a shopping mall.
My doubt was whether this was a refurbished phone which someone registered way back in sept 07, 2007.
He first asked me to re-register the phone from the advanced options. Which I didn't want to do , without knowing where the old message came from. So he checked with the Customer Care and then told me that only warrantly dept. could confirm whether this was a new phone or not. He transferred me to the warranty dept. and they took the IMEI # from the phone and confirmed that this is a new phone.
"The message in Sept 07, 2007 was when this particular handheld was put on the AT&T shelf for sale".
I sincerely hope that is true...Initially, for a moment I thought I took home a refurbished phone on a 50% discount for $99 !!!11-21-07 10:34 PMLike 0 - Hi,

There are always messages you get after you complete setup wizard that are dated a few months back. It definitely does not mean your phone is refurbished.
