subject: Used Blackberry Phones [print this page] A BlackBerry phone is an efficient communication device comprising advanced applications and features and is particularly suited for a business purpose. They are specifically designed for office use and are no less efficient outside the office or when you're traveling. Surfing or browsing the internet is a breeze with a BlackBerry phone.
Though prices of BlackBerry phones have come down considerably in recent times, they are still on the more expensive side. For those who want to own a BlackBerry cell phone but don't have the money to buy a first hand phone, they can go for a used BlackBerry handset. In this way, they can also save substantial money.
Before buying a used BlackBerry phone, you must select the particular model of the brand that you're interested in. You can select one from the Storm, Torch, Bold, Tour, Pearl or Curve. Each particular model has its own unique features and specifications. For instance, the Storm was the first BlackBerry cell phone to have a touch screen facility. But it doesn't have the Wi-Fi feature. Again, both the Bold and Curve come with Wi-Fi facility. The QWERTY keyboard takes up a lot of space in these two models and the screen is thus smaller. The Torch has 3G and all other latest facilities. It's a slider phone that comes with a touch screen, a QWERTY keyboard and a track pad.
The best advantage of using a used BlackBerry mobile phone is that you're aware of all the advantages and disadvantages that the particular model has. You can then decide whether to go for that particular handset or not. Besides, the users' comments that you can read online would enable you to make up your mind about a used BlackBerry cell phone.
You can find several online dealers and retailers vending used BlackBerry mobile phones. Many of them are big names and are widely recognized across the world for vending genuine products. There are many private dealers as well who offer good deals on a used BlackBerry cell phone. Before you buy such a handset online, it's advisable to compare the offers being extended by the online dealers. Also, ask the dealer some pertinent questions like whether the particular handset has a valid IMEI number and whether the phone is unlocked or locked. A locked mobile phone binds the user to one particular network while in an unlocked phone you can select an operator of your choice.
Used BlackBerry phones carry a big discount on their original price. However, as their first hand price is already quite steep compared to other brands of mobile phones, it's nothing unusual for a used BlackBerry cellular phone to command a price which is higher than many brands of first hand phones.
To conclude one can say that a BlackBerry mobile phone is a dream gadget. It's modern, stylish, fast and intuitive. Almost each BlackBerry handset comes with internet surfing and browsing capabilities as well as 3G support. If you know the right place to buy a used BlackBerry handset, you can strike a good bargain.
