I was wondering if I need to buy a new blackberry in order to get my trade up refund? The trade up value of my Torch 9800 is 160, so if I can buy a used unlocked blackberry Bold 9900 for say 300 - 350, then it would only cost me 140 - 190 ?? Or does it have to be brand new? Thanks

Damn! No way around this? hehe

Just sell it on eBay... Isn't it the same?

Don't do a trade with any of the major retailers as they give you a very low value for your phone! You can easily sell a good condition 9800 on kijiji/craigslist around $200 to $250.

Heck, I have a pre-owned 9650 and on the site it said I can trade up for a 9900 with 40$ to spare. Is the trade up thing real and the 9900 came with a contract or not ?

Sell your old BB on ebay, it's sure to fetch more than whatever they're offering for trade up!

I recently traded up to a 9900. After 2-weeks I am returning it tomorrow. The cursor flies all over the place for no rhyme or reason. Very frustrating. After I return it I will get an iPhone.
