    I have a 12 year old blackberry (the big kind with a base and all that orignal blackberry stuff) it still works, I guess lol, it turns on and what not, but I don't think its able to be used as anything other then a paperweight and a calender LMAO well I was wondering what I can do with it, it takes up alotta space lol. I happen to live in waterloo region (aka home of RIM) maybe they have some sort of drop-off, or maybe even can I get money for it?

    have you think of going to RIM and ask if they would trade you your 12yo BB to a newer one, maybe you are one of the few who still use this BB

    they might happily take it and use it as a PR type thing and put it in a case, never know, they do it with cars (over 300k dodge clubs, etc)

    I would LOOVVEE a screen that big but itd be to big for my hands lol, I like the feeling of my fingers locked together behind my phone. It feels more secure (although it doesn't make me any less likely to drop it lmao)

    Is that one of those old school ones that wasn't a phone, only an email device?

    If that were mine, I'd see if RIM would take it/trade. If not, I'd slap that bad boy in a glass shadow box and hang it on my wall above my desk.

    Yep..I had one of those for work about 10-12 yrs ago. It was for email, messaging and a specific software application for my job. It wasn't a phone.

    I think the Ontario government has a program where they send out 2 guys to pick up your "unit" and dispose of it for free. Ohh wait..that's for refrigerators !!! That reminds me of my Handspring Visor days.

    Memories! I actually just sold a new/never used 957 on ebay for $10. I have a client who's had BB's since the 857 series (and maybe the model before that, can't remember). Long before regular carriers had these devices. I think we had him set up through Motient. Great device; only problem was my client kept breaking the thumb wheel. Must have gone through 3-4 of these in 2 years before I finally got him on a 71xx series.
