i bought a blackberry on ebay brand new in the manner that the plastic film was still on screen/back but it came with no manual, charger, box, etc...


my question is this: is it safe to use this phone? i already activated it so it is clean, but data-wise....is my data safe or is there a way to reinstall the phone? basically wondering if there could be "hacks" put on it...?

Your data is safe. Your BlackBerry was not hacked.

What you're wondering is not possible. The only possible way is for someone to clone the device, and from what I understand it's not really done anymore, and might not ever have been done on a BB.

You are clean go ahead and use it.

It's too secure to hack... you are safe.

The factory seals are a good sign, you can be sure the device has never been part of a BES network and has not inherited a restrictive policy.

it's difficult, but by no means impossible.
