haha yes i believe so. What would incline someone to buy such an old phone? Is it even in color? He could easily get a curve or pearl brand new for pretty cheap. At worst an 8700!
although i dont know why you would buy that phone, i believe it should have bbm capabilities. However it does not come on the phone. You need to go on the internet and download the application. It might also be available when you sync with computer, although not sure.
