Default Question about PIN #
If I get a new blackberry does my pin change everytime, or does it just transfer like a contact?

One PIN is unique to one BB.
Pins can't be transfered.

yup - often the PIN is the same or part of the chassis serial number.

FYI many applications like Telenav key off the PIN, so you will have to call/email and get replacement activiation codes.

I have seen 3rd party applications for transferring PIN's but I have not tried them yet.

That was mentioned in the latest podcast (see Kevin we listen) PIN is specific to handset.

PIN is like serial number on cars, tv's, and whatnot items. My friends get annoyed with me changing PIN's almost every year! LOL
