  Excelent Blackberry model

  Very nice phone: unlocked, delivery shipping OK, new box, the only bad thing is that this model doesn't iclude any leather case neither the memory card. The phone works correctly! battery, software already updated, everything...even when is used in different country: It's working perfectly with Movistar line, Venezuela. 5/5 Rafael Ramirez "Magno Mejias" (Venezuela) - See all my reviews, January 23, 2010

  Blackberry Rim 8520

  I gave it a four because when I first got it, it took me time to see and get used to the keys because they are kind-of small. If you want bigger buttons get 8330, my sister has one, wish I could switch with hers, but mine is newer and no tracking ball, which I really like to.. about this phone. Its sleek and easy to navigate..Before I had this one I had the 8120, ah--big difference the charge on 8520 last longer and takes a little time to charge up, but its worth it. Also, the keys I wished lighted up a bit brighter, BUT like I said once you have it after a few days you get used to it. My one problem with as I am thinking off the top of my head ..is there are not enough apps to go with or themes made for this model.I am a geek for that, but as of now I have been able to download a few off my blackberry 8120 to my 8520.Also, checking around i was able to get a few more themes, that are just awesome.

  certainly no iPhone ... which is a good thing!

  the 8520 phone actually works well on at&t! no matter how much you learn the iphone keyboard, a blackberry full physical qwerty still wins, hands down. the spell checker and predictive type on bberry is better vs iphone and with the physical keyboard you misspell a lot less. since you can sync your itunes on here you only "miss" the iphone for its apps which really only work best on wifi. 8520 is lightweight, fairly thin, very light, has nicely spaced keys, and really cool media controls blended into the top of the device. nice use of rubber here on the device too lends some durability to glossy plastic finish. I jammed a 16G nand flash card into it too so i have music, movies etc with me. I bought the unlocked version since i use the 8520 when traveling to US from abroad .... without a full blackberry data package you lose out on things like email and blackberry messenger - but this is my 2nd/travel phone so i dont care too much - I use it when in the US with pay as you go on at&t -... 5/5 VCNY "VCNY" (LONDON, UK) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Unpleasant to see and sceptical to use

  I would like to say when buying Items like this I should have known better due to item been used. On receipt of the item I noticed that it was not mailed out in a box but rather an envelope made out of bubble wrap and the power supply (nothing else) in the large envelope. This item had dirt caked up between the keys and the ear peace was just dirty, come on clean the item before mailing.What kind of system is Amazon allowing, are they not rules to follow in mailing out items to customers.I will not attempt to buy another item like this using the Amazon team again. 2/5 Cedric - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Not in proper conditions, lack of accesories

  I received the BlackBerry in its package, lacking user instructions and CD for configuration.The vendor committed to send it by courrier but never arrived.When I took out screen protector, I found out that the screen was damaged in the corners.I assume that this product wasn't new.I communicated this problem to the vendor, but never received an answer in return.I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS VENDOR. 2/5 Marcela - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  A good outcome

  My Blackberry just arrived in the mail 3 days before the expected delivery date! I got free shipping for something that would have arrived at the same time if I selected one day shipping (I ordered on Friday and it came on the next Monday) I ordered it from Just Cellular and did a lot of research on them before purchasing a phone. I read before that some phones stopped working after a given amount of time, and hopefully mine does not follow the trend and I ordered it from a different company than those phones. It came with just the phone, battery and wall charger. The packing was left to be desired considering the contents were just bouncing around in the box. But everything checked out ok. I'm very happy with my purchase. 5/5 Eric Bennett "Dragon 95" (Arizona) - See all my reviews, June 27, 2011

  False Advertising

  I ordered a new Blackberry Curve 8530 from the seller, and was initially very pleased with the speed of shipping (fulfilled by Amazon Prime). When I went to activate it I was told by Verizon wireless that it was listed as lost/stolen and could not be activated. I received a refund through Amazon customer service and was able to order another phone, but lost precious time without a phone due to the fact that I could not activate the device. I will admit that it looked new (both the phone and packaging) but the reality is that I could not activate it, and therefore not use it, due to its lost/stolen status. If I would have ordered a used item I would have been ok with taking a chance on it, but it was not new as advertised and left me disappointed. 1/5 happyhalloween (Eugene, OR) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Blackberry Tour 9630 Unlocked GSM Cell Phone (Black)

  Rating (73 reviews):

  World Wide Distributors customer service is horrible!!!

  To all Amazon customers. I truly and honestly advise you all to be careful of who is the merchant of the products you are buying from. I ordered a Blackberry Tour 9630 for my fiancee. First when I order the phone, they sent me the wrong endorsed phone. I needed a Sprint PCS phone, they send her a Verizon phone. After she mailed the phone back, by overnite, to World Wide Distributors, she had to wait 6 days to recieve the correct phone. While my fiancee has the correctly endorsed phone, she goes to the local Sprint PCS store and finds out that the phone she has CAN NOT be activated. The phone came up as LOST or STOLEN! While my fiancee called World Wide, she was trying to get ahold of customer service and the young lady hung up on her. This company should be shut down and banned from any further business with any group, company, or business alike. I hope I have helped many other customers of Amazon with this ordeal. 1/5 Dax Thomas (El Paso, TX) - See all my reviews, October 27, 2009

  Not truly unlocked

  As other reviewers say, this is not truly as pictured, as it is a Verizon phone. That said, it works pretty well -- with one major exception: where I am (in Tanzania) the data portion is not unlocked. The handset will not enable data access at all. The cel phone company rep here (Airtel)told me they have had this problem with many Verizon BBerries, and despite their request, RIM has not come back with a solution for unlocking the phones for data.And now Amazon won't let me return it as the 30 days are up.

  UNBELIEVABLE

  I really advice all to make sure the company you are going to give your money to, will be a good reliable one. My fiancee who is currently deployed to Iraq sent me a Blackberry tour 9630 as a gift. I was excited until the phone I recieved was the wrong carrier. I am with Sprint they sent a Verizon phone. Customer service rep ANITA when I contacted them let me know she would email a ups label. It has been a week I am still waiting for the email! I knew better sent the phone out to them over night. Today I recieved the correct Sprint Blackberry. To my surprise when I go to activate is they can't do it because the phone was reported LOST or STOLEN!!!!! I was irrate I called World Wide while at the store, all John could do is give me his email so I could email him!!! I called customer service aka Anita, I was upset so yes I raised my voice, and so did she!!! Can you imagine, your fiancee half a world away sends a present and not a cheap one, everything goes wrong, then you are yelled back... 1/5 Priscilla Storer - See all my reviews, October 27, 2009

  The smallest, lightest, and best Blackberry around.

  HI All.I have used a blackberry for over 10 years now...give or take. I have always been impressed by the devices they have created in the past and the current line of devices. Since I like to be on the bleeding edge of tech, I just had to get a 8900.Most of you know by now what the new feature sets are of blackberries that are out today. The bold, the storm, and now this one The JAVELIN.I wont go into too much detail but I will give you my quick run down.The Javelin is perhaps the thinnest, lightest, small footprint blackberry that I have ever used. It sports a great look and the feel to the hands is awesome. It is after all the curve II. Screen comparison to the bold is that this unit has a higher resolution then the bold but a smaller physical screen. The higher resolution definitely adds some clarity to the screen...but it should be duly noted that the BOLD's screen is also beautiful. Yes I own both.The Javelin is a EDGE/Wi-FI... 5/5 Tarun Chachra "Tarun Chachra" (Hillsborough, NJ) - See all my reviews, February 8, 2009

  Great PDA, messager, and best of all a great phone

  Pros: Reception and call quality!, interface, beautiful screen, syncs with Mac, keyboard, terrific sound on media player, decent camera, and intuitive user interface.Cons: Battery life could be better, can be slow at times with multiple applications open, the Mac syncing software from Blackberry is finicky though it eventually works, no 3G network support :(Summary: This phone is wonderful. My last two smartphones were Windows Mobile and this Blackberry completely blows them out of the water. The interface is wonderful and the OS is really reliable. I put battery life under cons, though it gets about forty hours with one charge on heavy text, email, internet, and phone usage, so this is really a minor complaint.All in all I love this device. Compared to my girlfriend's previous gen Blackberry, this little gadget is a beauty and a top performer. Keyboard is about the same, but the 8900 wins in just about every other category: build, reception,... 5/5 L. Witherill (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews, June 10, 2009

  My 8900

  I bought my 8900 in February when it first came out and I am so delighted with it. Never before have I been so happy with a phone because it can do so much. I used to carry a palm and a cell.... no longer! The 8900 has everything I need: Internet, instant email, text messages, phone, games, camera, documents, etc, etc, it is wonderful! Very happy and still excited about it. 5/5 Manuel Escobar "Latnair" (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews, May 5, 2009
