| |  Warranty when buying BlackBerry from private owner
If I buy a 9650 or 9930 from a private party, active it on my line on VZW, what happens if the device fails? Will VZW exchange it?

You buy a 9650, I'll come over, clock you over the head with it, and test that warranty.

LOL!
Here me out:
The 9650 is two+ years old.
ALL the bugs have been worked out in that time.
Battery life is stable and quite lengthy.
Apps are compatible with it.
Themes are released for it.
It's WAY cheaper.
Also, I'm thinking, if I buy a 9930 at $295+ and something happens to it I don't think I can get a warranty exchange. Right?
So, get the 9650 and wait 6-12 months for a 9930.
Makes sense!

| Well.....if you ignore the spontaneous reboots using the camera.... mostly.  Quote: |

| I am not getting into another silly discussion about battery life. Buy a dang spare. Quote: |

| Yes and no. While there are some apps not available for OSheaven, there are also some not made for OSicks, like Wikitude. Quote: |
Themes are released for it.
| Including the one I had custom made, with an entertaining timer to easy my aggravation. Sorry, images and links are unavailable. You'll just have to use your imagination. Ummmmmm, yeah. So is a tin can and string. Quote: |

| I know with T-Mo, even without a T-Mo logo they'll exchange a defective unit. VZW might too, especially if you get one with their swoosh. Quote:

| Not if you don't like cranial contusions.

Actually, I don't like using themes.
Coming from an HTC Thunderbolt ANY phone will have better battery.
I don't use a lot of apps, but I love the few I have. Not sure if they're compatible with OS7 yet.
Still the warranty issues holds me back. So does the cost. I told myself I'd never spend $250 on a phone again after my Bolt.
Maybe I will not get the 9650. I am getting a laptop for school in Jan. I may wait til a few months after that and use my other lines upgrade to get the 9930.
Better plan?

Tell ya what. If and when I get my 9930, maybe we can work out a loaner program. This ones less than a month old.
:::: envisions the 9650 quickly returning ::::

I loved my 9650! Had minimal problems with it, and you should be able to find one cheap although not as cheap as you are thinking.

That's why I only get devices from Verizon or Asurion now unless it is a great deal.

Yup. Soon as the phone drops off the orignal activate line, the warranty goes poof!
9650 Chrisy? Really? Why don't you try a GSM device, Torch 2?
