So, after a "natural disaster" to my Blackberry Pearl, I won a bid on ebay for a Blackberry from the 7200 series, stating it was for AT&T.
When I got it in the mail yesterday or so, all that was in the box was just a phone, no cords, no instructions, notes,etc...NOTHING. And the phone was with Verizon, who apparently doesn't use SIM cards.
So, after I charged it via USB on my computer, I go to turn it on, and there is no starting up,nothing, no operating software. It just shows a little window sign with shapes an an x through it.
I feel like a complete noob. But I was wondering... 1) Is there anything I can do for this phone to get it running, even if I give it to my Verizon friend and 2)Is there anything I can do for it At&T wise(doubtful).
You have several isssues going on. Did you check first to see if that phone could even be used with AT&T?
Also, if it is in fact a Verizon phone, there's nothing you're going to be able to do to make it work with AT&T.
If you feel like you've been scammed, file a dispute with PayPal.
Scandalex is right....you have a few issues there. First that phone will not work with at&t. Secondly it sounds like a corrupt os on the device. Try here first http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/how-...ckberry-32322/ see if that gets you going. Filing a claim if you cant get it to work would be a sure way to get your money back too.

My advise- don't do anything to the phone; not even try to recover it. If you file a dispute, you want to, when requested to do so, be able to present the phone in the same condition it was rec'd.
Yeah, I figured I wouldn't be able to use it with AT&T. Today though, I also got a Blackberry Pearl that was intended for At&T use. But, I still have the same problem with this as I do with the other one. They came from two different sellers, both with really good ratings.
Both phones were unlocked, so would this be why I am having this problem? I think I really should have just bought the screw driver out and taken apart my other one.

Thanks a lot!!
For the money you've paid in phones, you could have gotten a new one from AT&T.
So what message are you getting this time when you try to activate the Pearl?
i love you too Lex
