A classic phone on Verizon service is the Blackberry 8330. This series really has a lot to offer. Packing a decent camera and a spacious qwerty, Curves really stand out and are surprisingly cheap. You can find them here without a contract and unlocked.

No Contract Curves

Have you been to Best Buy or Verizon and checked prices on phones without a contract? Six hundred dollars!? Instead of getting stuck in the cellular price gouging, just buy one with out a contract online. Make sure that the unlocked curve has a "clear ESN" so it will activate properly. Also, take a glance at the sellers feedback and make sure there aren't recent negatives. If you are new to eBay watch our video and learn a thing or two.

Why eBay?

Because prices are literally a fraction of retail. Plus you can find auctions for silicone skins, desk docks, leather cases, anything! Be careful though it's quite common to go on an eBay shopping spree and start buying all kinds of stuff. I think it's because the last couple minutes of an auction are exciting. Anyways, hope you find a deal. Browse around.

Thanks for visiting!

The Blackberry Pearl will always be one of the hottest available.  Size matters, especially when we're talking about pockets.  The pearl is the standard candy bar phone size, but packs full smartphone features. Email, web, and a powerful keyboard. What more could you ask for?

How Does SureType type?

The "2 letters per key" style on the Blackberry Pearl is something that really sets it apart from the crowd. It really takes advantage of the space available. Predictive text works its wonders and its really amazing how accurate it is. It adapts as you use it so don't be surprised if you start to think your phone is reading your mind.

Crack it out

Some people with a pearl never even use half of the features. When you buy yours, please do the right thing and get some sweet apps and a custom theme. Most of them are free and getting them on your phone is really easy. You can change the entire look of your pearl to make it have icons that look like an iphone, or even look like a new Google Android phone. Some of the cooler ones lately have been styled after Windows 7. Many of them make your phone navigate really quick and can improve battery life too. When yours comes in the mail make sure to check out crackberry.com.

Retail Rip Off?!

I don't get why retailers like Best Buy and cell phone companies still charge $599 for an unlocked, no contract Blackberry Pearl. Whats the deal? Instead of paying over $600 (taxes blah) just find a good deal on eBay. You have to pay shipping and handling, but you can find a pearl really cheap online. Make sure that the one that you bid on has a clear ESN, and check the feedback of the seller. Look for stuff like: A++++, Fast shipping, great ebayer! There are tons of both new and used pearls on eBay so browse around and find a deal. If you're new, sign up and get ready to save over $300.

I am a huge fan of the Curve, and yes I'm talking about the "old" one.  The 8300 series of Blackberries are classic and available for every service provider.  This was one of the first Crackberries to really step it up in terms of style and design. Since these are a vintage Blackberry model, you can find them unlocked at really low prices.

App Fever

As soon as you get your unlocked blackberry curve in the mail, connect it to your PC and head over to crackberry.com. There are tons of free themes available for the curve. Suckers with the 8900 or Tour have significantly less stuff to choose from. Just another reason to go old school Blackberry. There are some essential applications like google mobile and viigo (rss feeds) that will send your productivity through the roof. Facebook / Twitter and other social apps are free so you can keep in touch.

Retail = $599!?

Yep, the 8300 curves still sell for $599 unlocked without a contract. Instead of getting ripped off, we recommend taking a look at eBay. There are hundreds of mint condition Curves ending everyday, you just have to find one for your service that you like and place that lucky winning bid! Sometimes you'll bid once and win, other times you might have to bid back and forth with someone else who wants it. Set a limit that you think it's worth, and if it goes past that, just move on to another phone. No sense in getting all caught up in the moment. Here's a tip: Try placing a bid when an auction only has a couple minutes left. Bid a good amount higher than the current price and the average eBayer bumping up their bid 5 cents at a time will never win! Good luck.
