    Does anyone know if you can buy a manufacture unlocked blackberry from somewhere like Brands Mart and have it activated at Boost Mobile? An will it be able to run on the $60 blackberry plan, not just the $50 regular boost unlimited plan? As would be nice to get the curve 8520! As I am getting tired of the 8330 trackball issues. Thanks Justin

    I think an 8520 is a GSM phone. 8330 is CDMA. Pretty sure if you want all the bells and whistles it's got to be a Boost branded bb. You could take the track ball apart. There are step by step instructions in the "Blackberry Tips" and How to section. Just do a search (upper right tab) and select Forums.

    The 8520 is a GSM device. It will not work on Boost or any other CDMA carrier.
