Hey guys,
I have a chance to pick up a 8320 Curve from a friend of a friend of mine. He says he bought the phone from a friend of his but I'm not stupid; I know it's stolen. He's hooking me up with a good price so I got a few quick questions:
1. Will TMO know this phone is stolen? I know TMO knows a lot, I realized this when they told me some things about my iPhone.
2. Will I be able to bring this phone into a TMO store and get a blackberry data plan and e-mail address on it hassle free?
3. Will I love this phone?
if there were no market for stolen goods, there would be less incentive for people to steal. knowingly purchasing stolen goods makes one just as guilty of the original theft.

Ha, I don't know if I agree with that. There would still be plenty of people unknowingly buying stolen goods. I'm not saying it's right, but swearing on the forums is a bit inappropriate. :\

I have to agree with oakie. If the OP KNOWS the phone is
stolen and still buys and tries to activate it, he is no better than the person
who actually stole it. In fact they are on the same par IMO.

like i said. KNOWINGLY.
and unless you're a moron, you can usually spot if a device is stolen if you try hard enough to avoid it.
as for the swearing issue, obviously you dont even believe your own argument, hence why you're now taking issue with something you feel you CAN argue.

Great, so he knows it's stolen. If he doesn't buy it, the guy is just going to turn around and sell it to someone else. Again, I'm not saying knowingly buying a stolen phone is right.

See above. And don't question my intelligence, please. I'm going to stop posting in this thread after this, seeing as it's getting a little off topic.
