Description

The listing, Good Condition 2 Years Old Working Used Verizon Blackberry Curve - Free US Shipping has ended.

This a used Blackberry Curve used since September 2008 by a little old lady, my mother. She's quite active though and used it extensively in her non-retired retirement. I mention this to indicate that it is well taken care of. There are about 5-6 dings/scratches of between 1/8" - 1/4" where paint is gone but you have to look hard to notice them.

It works great, takes great photographs etc., but will work only with Verizon (or maybe Sprint and Alltel??...From my research, switching CDMA Blackberry software appears difficult.).

I will throw in 4 GB Micro Memory Card that I just confirmed still works. The phone will come in it's original box with leather case and car and wall chargers, along with manual and Blackberry software CD.

Also note in the first image the screenshot has been superimposed on the turned off phone screen area because my scanner would not screen a live LED display. The screenshot however is the actual screenshot from the phone which I found out how to do on the Internet and download to my PC via USB cable. As for actual scratches on the screen, there is only 1/4" minor one to speak of.

For bid gauging on eBay these used phones are generally worth between $60-100. Free US shipping.

Blackberry Curve features: Voice-Activated Dialing, Java Enabled, MMS Enabled, Polyphonic Ringtones, Video Recording, Color Screen, Bluetooth Enabled, GPS, Calendar, Email Access, Internet Browser, MP3 Player, PDA-PC Sync, Text Messaging, 3G Data Capable, QWERTY Keyboard, Speakerphone, USB Interface

Here's an LCD screen for the 8330 that comes with the "torx" screwdrivers for taking the phone apart. As for replacing the LCD, once you get the phone open, I think you can use your fingers: http://tinyurl.com/22pb9q3 .

Yeah, my mom like it.

Sorry I made a mistake, 8it's about $25 shipping to Italy. Also this phone works on CDMA phone systems, I thought Italy was just using GSM.

could this use a sim card?

Sep 11th, 2010 at 12:44:01 PM PDT by

No, only GSM phone systems use SIM cards. That would be phones running on ATT's or T-Mobile's systems in the US. Your right that Verizon makes "world phones" that do have SIM card slots and do have the dual capability of working on CDMS and GSM networks for use in say Europe where I think mostly GSM exists. However, this is not one of those phones. It only has a memory card slot for storing pictures, music, videos, and the like.

Sep 12th, 2010 at 11:36:31 AM PDT by

Knock yourself out :-).

Sep 12th, 2010 at 12:27:17 PM PDT by

Ok i have been looking at several phones on here and a lot of sellers are decided 1000 credits into it to say it needs this or that done too it ....So i have a few questions? Does it need a new battery, Does it stay Charged up well.....(not going dead 2 hours after you take it of the charger )? Sorry to be such a pain but I just left an auction on here where the seller decided after the bids where up to 1000 to tell everyone It needed a new battery ,,,,,,,,,So just wanting to cover all bases before i bid :)

Sep 13th, 2010 at 6:27:29 AM PDT by

Good question. I think we did replace the battery once already. They aren't very expensive though. I'll throw in one for whoever wins the lot. I will drop ship from Amazon and try to make sure it's a genuine Blackberry part. It looks like the battery model is CS-2.

Hi, you noted in the description it worked only with Verizon-(maybe Sprint?) Is it now unlocked? How can u find out if it works with Sprint? If you has a contract with Verizon and purchased the phone from them, Is there a way of finding out. I have has a 10 yr business account with Sprint, I know I will get Nowhere with them, Their fake so-called Customer Loyalty, Lol! Just waiting for 2 ore phones to be off contract! THANKS:)Your auctions are always great!

Sep 13th, 2010 at 9:18:15 AM PDT by

I think you might be able to switch the software on the phones by reinstalling the software from another vendor but it is complicated process I think. It appears like the "unlocking" is different from GSM phones in the CDMS ones. I couldn't really find instructions how to do this. If you need Sprint I would play it safe and not bid on this phone unless anybody with experience can comment here otherwise.
