Default i just bought a brand new bb 957

Pretty much like the title says. I bought a brand new 957 on ebay. I'm not sure why I bought it, nor do I have a clue what to do with it. It was $5 including shipping though, so...
Either it'll be cool or I will throw it back on ebay as a retroberry. Vintageberry, or something. I dunno. Damn me and my low paypal balance burning a hole in my epocket.

I don't think it would be worth it to activate it on any carrier. I've got my curve for "real" usage.

Review: RIM BlackBerry 957 | Geek.com

Good to know you bought a good, reliable phone! I wonder if geek.com is as reliable as engadget - at least geek.com could fire up THEIR newest toy...

I loved that phone.. It's what hooked me on the berry.. I can't believe it was only 9 years ago! Funny how everyone thought it was some sort of palm or ipaq and were amazed that I could get my email on it.. Um but as far as using it today? I don't think it even has any hackable value...

Oh man that's too funny. It would be cool to keep just as a Vintage Blackberry.

I just looked. They're selling them on ebay still. Not sure why you can't find one. I still love my Curve, so I def don't want a Storm, and its looking like the Tour isn't shaping up to be much better.

For 5 bucks I'll get one as a collector's item. Ebay is a step in the right direction itsallverbatim.
