- Hi Guys and Gals,
I am new here, and new to the whole Blackberry scene. I am considering buying a used BB curve 8900.
I have a few concerns,
1. The BB apparently has a few scuff and marks on the bezel, I was wondering if the bezel can be replaced, and how easy would it be to replace?
2. I understand that there is a BB Pin that is unique to each BB. Does buying a used BB not allow me to take advantage of the advantages provided by the Pin?
Is there anything else I should know or ask about before buying a used BB?
Thanks everyone

Good advice. If the phone cannot be activated, no deal, no money.05-11-09 02:32 AMLike 0 - Thanks for all the advice guys! I bought a Blackberry Curve 8900, had the IMEI checked out, everything is clear.
However, I am having some problems with the device.
1. The screen has a fairly noticeable scratch (that I only noticed after I bought the damn thing on a white background) I was wondering if the screen can be replaced?
2. The wifi doesn't seem to be connecting. If I go really close to my router (like right beside it) it gets a very weak connection. But if I stand even 5 feet away, I lose the connection. Does this mean there is something wrong with the wifi antenna?

Check out the 8900 forums, but to answer your first question, you may wanna check out cnn.cn for all your replacement/aftermarket parts needs. They are in Hong Kong so shipping takes a little longer than quoted, but still very reasonable.
Have you updated the software yet? Hopefully it works out, but like i said before check out the 8900 threads for more info or to ask specific device questions.
Good Luck!05-11-09 05:43 PMLike 0
