hi

I am new posting to this forum but been reading on and off for years.

I have had a BB for about 3 years. Got my first one off ebay which was an 8820 and a very good phone in itself.
I have a 9780 at the moment on contract from O2 in the UK.

But regarding the 7290. I have just bought a brand new 7290 from ebay for £19, was so nice to see one brand new in all its protective packaging...............sounds sad I know but I loved that moment when I received it and opened it. I will let you know if I manage to get it unlocked. I have used freemyblackberry to unlock my 9780 which is great.
also bought a bold 9000 of ebay............I like the big keyboard.

I know quite a boring first post but hey ......!!

Welcome to Posting on CB,

That's not sad. I would like both of those Blackberry's. Amazing that you found a new 7290 !!!

Hi all

Just used freemyblackberry.com to unlock my 7290, no problems at all.

Phone been sitting in a draw for months now got it out to unlock (was so nice to feel that keyboard) and will probably sit for however long.

I have an android device now, HTC Evo and just got a Galaxy Note 2. Was not sure about the Z10 or Q10 to be honest. I do like blackberrys though and if still around in a year when upgrade i will change.

I like having the 7290 as a backup payg phone. just a shame I need to topup however much for internet or bbm as will never get to use it as never topup that much every month.

Cheers
