i dont think it will be realistic to penalise any buyer for buying such a phone.
lol
i felt that too at first but i felt bad when i put myself in the shoes of the person/company that bought it from RIM. RIM will definitely not compensate them and the person may have borrowed that money from a bank with interest.
what torch? 9800 or 9810 or 9860?08-26-11 01:15 AM - Phones are long gone, highly doubt they'd recover all of 'em but I'm sure the insurance process has already started so no big $ will be lost to the big players (eg. RIM and carriers,) but the store owners who ordered the 9810's will be losing business as customers may go elsewhere with stock. And since all these phones will be paid out by insurance, if they are recovered they'll most likely end up being destroyed so they don't end up in the retail chain.
Like I said before, chances are you won't get charged with having a stolen phone but
1. blacklisted PIN = you got a glorified phone
2. if caught, your 9810 will be confiscated and probably some nice conversation with cops (eg. statements, where/who/when u bought from, etc. etc.) so you'd be wasting your own time
3. regardless, you're out a 9810 and gotta buy another one.
4. if cops believe you had intent and knew you were in possession of stolen property, Bubba's waiting in the cell!
5. you COULD buy one, show up at the cop shop, all they'd do is say "thanks!" ... ask you some questions for a statement and well, you're still out a 9810. hah.08-26-11 01:27 AM - If the company was foolish enough to let someone walk out with a pallet or two or expensive goods they should have factored this stupidity into their business plan.i dont think it will be realistic to penalise any buyer for buying such a phone.

Well, this could be a good sign for blackberry. Now people are going to assume that there is a reason they were stolen and come see for themselves. You know they will, it's basic psychology. "I want to know what the big fuss is about", is what will likely being going through people's heads. Maybe that's why RIM's stock is on the rise. Heh, maybe it really was an "inside job."08-26-11 05:50 AM
- I was thinking the same too, jacked from the inside, thus no SN/Pin/IMEI numbers released, so they can go sell them again somewhere else lolThis takes me back to the playstation 3 mess.
